Russian Exports in the Context of Global Trends: Driving Forces, Current State and Prospects

The article analyzes the state and development trends of Russian foreign trade in 2025 in the context of the processes taking place in the world, primarily the increasing global instability, analyzes the factors influencing domestic foreign trade (external and internal) with an emphasis not only on external sanctions, but also on the effects of the domestic policy of the government of the Russian Federation as well as their impact on the long-term trends observed in the domestic economy in recent years. The purpose of the article is to provide an overview of domestic foreign trade at the present time and a forecast regarding its development in the short term. The author notes that the low innovativeness of domestic foreign trade is largely determined by the highly inertial structure of the economy that has developed over the decades, which remains sluggish and difficult to modernize. Hopes for an improvement, but not a reversal of the situation, can be attributed to increased government support for exporters, through financing programs, improved institutions and logistics infrastructure. The author considers the prospects for getting out of the current situations to be very uncertain, but not hopeless, and the question is very relevant.
