Abstract: The new economic geography predicts that international economic integration results in centrifugal forces and agglomeration effects in the border regions, and hence peripheral regions become «central border regions». Nevertheless relative little empirical evidence exists on whether these predictions are correct. This paper aims at empirical assessment of this prediction for Russian case. Two evidences are provided: 1) centripetal forces predominated over centrifugal one in the Russian Federation in 2002–2010 and centripetal forces increased in 2010; 2) Russian border regions can’t be associated with «central border regions» due to weak centrifugal forces
