The changes observed in the Russian economy in recent years are mainly of a formal conjunctural nature and do not allow us to say that deep qualitative changes are really taking place. Therefore, the most important strategic task for Russia remains the movement to economic growing through the formation of a self-sufficient, self-replicating national economy with its own face, focusing on domestic resources and maintaining healthy relationships with the rest of the world. The quality of this movement, as well as any development, largely depends on the ability to understand their real current economic opportunities and the real speed of transformation.

Changing the current economic situation in Russia is possible only through a global reorientation from external processes and phenomena to internal processes and phenomena at all levels. Both the causes of “economic illnesses” and resources for their healing are inside the country. The strategy for socio-economic development of Russia should consist in refocusing on the domestic market development and domestic demand.
