Benefits and Risks for Russian Industries and Individual Enterprises from the Implementation of Trade and Economic Agreements of the CIS Countries

The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries, or more broadly the former republics of the USSR, actually make a choice between European (EU) and Eurasian integration (EAEU), which leads to certain benefits and risks for all CIS+ countries (including Ukraine and Georgia), especially for Russia.The cases of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova are of primary interest. Termination of trade and economic cooperation, disruption of value chains, etc. entails a serious threat to industrial development for Russian industries and individual enterprises. Crisis phenomena such as the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, only exacerbate these trends. The fact of the UK's exit from the EU (Brexit) at the end of January 2020 is also of research interest. The topics of the post-Soviet countries and their trade and economic cooperation with different countries have been studied by various authors since the collapse of the USSR. In the past ten years, there has been an increase in the activity of studying these problems, in connection with the development of the European Neighborhood Policy on the one hand and Eurasian integration on the other. The following foreign and domestic authors can be distinguished by research groups: 1) Analysis, including quantitative analysis, of various integration scenarios for the CIS+ countries. 2) The confrontation between European and Eurasian integrations, as well as the problems of the EAEU. 3) Problems of cooperation between Russia and the countries of the post-Soviet space, including at the level of enterprises.However, the issue of assessing the risks and possible consequences at the enterprise level for the EAEU countries from the implementation of the agreements of the CIS countries remains insufficiently studied, especially taking into account the participation in the value chains (VC) and the importance of industrial recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic, etc
