The purpose of the article is to determine the role of the regions, in particular, the Far East, in the geostrategic projects of Russia. In the context of a significant complication of the foreign policy positions of the Russian Federation, the development of a state geopolitical concept that takes into account, in addition to the problems that have become traditional, the complexity of regional issues is of particular importance. In preparing the article, the principles of the system method were mainly used. The macroregions of modern Russia are considered in the unity of geopolitical, geographical, socio-cultural, economic and other determinants. The article discusses the specifics of the Russian Far East and the reasons for the increased interest in it at the present stage. The process of formation of new forms of internal regionalization is not spontaneous. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the ongoing processes of regionalization of both the Russian Federation and the PRC, other neighboring states with taking into account the peculiarities of regional geopolitics. In conclusion, the author substantiates the position that the Far Eastern region is important both in terms of resources and in building a system of national and regional security. The practical and theoretical significance of the work lies in the fact that the macro-region of the Russian Far East acquires strategic importance for the states of the Asia-Pacific region and the Pacific, and, therefore, the identification of their interests and opportunities for cooperation is important for further research and for the development of practical policies at both the federal and regional levels.

“…При этом вектор интенсификации сотрудничества между странами и приграничными территориями в последнее время нарастает не только в политической и военной сфере, но и в хозяйственных отношениях [25]. Современный кризис в российскоукраинских отношениях не только интенсифицирует военно-силовое противостояние России и коллективного Запада, но и значительным образом влияет на внешнеэкономическую деятельность приграничных регионов этого участка границы [26] Группа отстающих по уровню торговой открытости регионов оказалась самой многочисленной для всего обследуемого периода. Доля приграничных регионов в этой группе росла и в 2021 г. достигла 57 %.…”

Introduction. The foreign economic activity of Russia is significantly changing in the current geopolitical context. At the same time, the Russian regions are unevenly integrated into foreign markets. Purpose. The paper aims at assessing trade openness of the regions in terms of their transformations with the focus on the border regions which are considered to be potential leaders of the foreign trade. Materials and Methods. Trade openness of the Russian regions was analyzed with statistical indicators for exports and imports in 2010, 2015, and 2021. A hierarchical cluster analysis defined typology by the regions’ openness. This methodological approach deepened the analysis of the regions’ trade openness, including the border ones, and helped to comply cartographic models for the spatial organizations of the regions in question. Results. The study shows a relative stability of the leading, middle and lagging regions by their trade openness for the period under review. The leaders were characterized as the regions with high socio-economic indicators and developed infrastructure, as well as the cities of federal significance, while the regions with low indicators for socio-economic development turned out to be the outsiders. From a geographical perspective, changes in foreign trade activity in general and in different parts of the border are determined. The border location opportunities turned out to be not fully implemented in many parts of the border, although the study revealed that the regions located in various sections of the border showed the highest level of trading activity in time periods under analysis, which could also be explained by the geopolitical factor. Conclusion. The results of the study demonstrate the transformation of the Russian space in terms of the regions’ economic openness. The proposed methodological tools can be used to continue monitoring these changes, especially in the current period of geopolitical shocks, to develop the most appropriate management decisions in setting the goals and priorities of foreign economic policy, including the ones at the regional level.

This study examines the features, limitations and development prospects of three Russian territories bordering the Baltic Sea — St. Petersburg, and the Leningrad, and Kaliningrad region — amid the sharply heightened confrontation between Russia and the West, which has affected the Baltic region. The time frame spanning from 2014 to 2023 was chosen for the study. This period encompasses the sanctions imposed by Western countries and their associations, primarily the EU, in response to the return of Crimea and Sevastopol to Russia, and extends up to the present day, when the relations between Russia and the West, as many experts and politicians have emphasised, have reached a critical point and may require substantial changes in the global order, including at macro-regional levels, for a return to what was once considered ‘bbusiness as usual’. The study examines the development level and dynamics in the three regions, alongside their economic security. Another focus is on foreign policy and a geopolitical typology of the Baltic region states. The article investigates the impact of a changed geopolitical landscape on cross-border cooperation, the restructuring of foreign trade relations in Russia’s three Baltic regions, and the geopolitical and military factors influencing the development and security of these territories. Based on the findings, several suggestions are provided to promote the ongoing growth of Russia’s Baltic regions and enhance their economic and military security.
