The Goals and Objects of the Strategic Development of the Russian Federation in the Face of Systemic Aggression

Abstract

Since 2014, the society and economy of the Russian Federation have been developing in a context of dynamically tightening multifaceted sanctions and the attempts of states hostile to the Russian Federation to isolate Russia internationally. For longterm successful development in such an environment, as well as in any other external and internal conditions, it is essential not only to address current challenges, but also to develop a strategy and strive to achieve strategic goals. The integral parts of the strategy are the following: selecting an object, examining its current state, analyzing the environment (or external context) of the object, and setting strategic goals. In this article, we will be discussing four objects: exports of the Russian Federation, imports of the Russian Federation, leading industries, border regions of the Russian Federation. The strategic goals of the first two objects are their development, while the third object is protection from external threats. Describing these objects, the author tried to show the role of exports and imports of the Russian Federation in the production and use of products and services, to specify the industries whose development will contribute to the growth of other sectors of the economy, to assess the development of the border regions of the Russian Federation to the country’s economy development.
