Abstract: In the context of sanctions restrictions introduced in 2022, one of the key challenges of Russian industry became the disruption of supply chains. The article examines changes in the level of dependence of production on imports of raw materials, materials and components in the industries and regions of the Russian Federation - the "middle link" of dependence on foreign suppliers along with imports of finished products and technologies. The analysis is based on Federal State Statistics Service data on the material costs of large and medium-sized enterprises. The study showed that the overall dependence of production on imports decreased by almost one and a half times in 2022-2023. At the same time, the geography of addiction has changed dramatically. Instead of regions focused on assembling finished products from imported components and materials, primarily automotive specialization, the new leaders are the territories of investment projects with foreign participation and/or large-scale purchases of foreign equipment. It can be noted that while overcoming the problem of import substitution of finished products and significantly reducing the risks of dependence on the supply of raw materials and components, the problem of technological dependence on imports persists.
