It has become common to describe Russia as a state that has only achieved partial reform due to the influence of powerful economic forces, the ‘winners’ of economic reform, and to assume that the Russian state lacks autonomy. This paper questions how far reform in Russia has been compromised by the power of winners. The failure of economic reform between 1992 and 1998 is explained as a policy response by state officials unable to manage tendencies towards fiscal crisis because of the state’s general helplessness in managing the Russian economy, rather than as a surrender of sovereignty to economic interests.

European Partner

Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia has become Germany’s main Central European partner. The economic interests and hopes of gigantic contracts to modernize the Russian economy have played a colossal role in German policy. The Government of Chancellor Angela Merkel aspired to shape the Eastern policy of the European Union, and it was highly favorable towards the strategy of Russian modernization to be implemented with the participation of Western partners, as proposed by President Medvedev in 2009. However, this project never went beyond the stage of preliminary agreements, and both sides are increasingly disappointed with its progress. Germany continues to aspire to play the role of the leading EU member state involved in the transformation process in Russia, yet this is no longer treated in terms of the ‘Russia first’ attitude without any reservations. Germans are becoming increasingly aware that their efforts are doomed to fail without true Russian efforts aimed at the democratization of both their public life and economic structures.

This book refutes the idea that Russia plays a weak hand well in international politics. The book argues instead that Russia under Vladimir Putin’s regime may not be as weak as is sometimes thought in the West. It takes a multidimensional approach in assessing Russian state power in international relations, going beyond metrics of power like relative strength of the economy, human capital, and size of the military, to also include the policy weight or importance of Russian firms and industries, as well as where, geographically, Russian influence has spread globally. The book includes fresh empirical data on the Russian economy, demography and human capital, and conventional military and nuclear weaponry capacities in Russia relative to other great powers like China and the United States. The book argues that realpolitik alone does not explain Russian foreign policy choices under Putin. Rather, Putin’s patronal autocratic regime and the need for social stability play an important role in understanding when and why Russian power is projected in the twenty-first century.

The article deals with public relations that affect controversial issues of subsoil use. The relevance of the topic is not in doubt, since article 9, paragraph 1 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation [1] defines that land and other natural resources are used and protected in the Russian Federation as the basis of life and activities of peoples living in the relevant territory. Among natural resources, a special place is occupied by subsoil resources, as they have a large amount of very valuable properties. In the modern Russian economy, the problem of effective subsoil use, which is associated with the need for advanced reconstruction of the mineral resource base and replenishment of strategic mineral reserves, should be one of the most important priorities of Russian state policy.

The relevance of the research is caused by the importance of maintaining the competitiveness of the national economy in the conditions of forming and developing digital economy. The research objective is to analyze obstacles to the effective implementation of the strategy of digitalization of the domestic economy and factors that hinder it, which, in our opinion, are not given enough attention. The authors consider the influence of institutional features of modern Russian economy on economic behavior of business. The adverse institutional environment is considered the main reason which is slowing down digitalization of Russian economy and development of digital technologies by business. The analysis of the modern Russian institutional environment, in particular its important factors such as vulnerability of ownership rights and low institutional trust to the power, allows to draw the conclusion that they lead to the emergence and consolidation of new economic and behavioral norms, which become alternative mechanisms of the economic choice at implementing economic interests. Thearticle substantiates such a modern phenomenon of Russian economy as institutional alienation of reproduction functions of business at the social production. In this connection, there is a necessary to develop state actions for digitalization of economy at their coordination with a complex of actions for improving the institutional business environment, which is slowing down effective socio-economic development of the national economy.

Transport Logistics

Logistics processes are becoming more widespread in the Russian economy. Transport logistics is an integral part of logistics. Its functions are to select the optimal routes for the movement of economic goods in the interests of all participants in these processes. The purpose of this work is to substantiate the methods of solving the main problems of transport logistics in Russian conditions. The study uses a systematic approach. Based on it, algorithms for solving transport logistics problems in the Russian economy are refined, the choice of transport mode, carrier and other logistics partners is ensured, rational delivery routes are determined, the technological unity of transport and warehouse processes is established, and the optimization of transport process parameters is achieved. The emerging flow processes must be interconnected through the integration of transport, production, supply, sales, consumption, service, financing and information. In the associated flow processes, the economic interests of all participants in the transport market (the sender, who forms the material flows, the recipient and the carrier) will be rationally coordinated with the economic interests of other participants in the logistics process. This will help overcome technical, technological, informational, economic, financial, international, environmental, and labor problems. In this case, transaction costs are reduced by all participants in logistics chains, the risks of doing business are reduced, and a synergistic effect is achieved.
