Abstract

Olga Nosova’s paper essentially provides a descriptive stocktaking of the development of Russia’s foreign trade, its commodity structure and its geographical direction during the first decade of systemic transformation. The author emphasizes the fundamental importance of opening up Russia’s transition economy and the benefits that can be gained through increasing productivity, enhanced specialization, mass production, the import of knowledge and new technologies, access to new markets as well as enhanced competition in domestic markets.
