Abstract: Greater Eurasia is an area of influence that Russia is looking to in pursuit of cementing its status as one of the world’s leading powers. Influence is conceived and pursued in economic as well as security terms. After the withdrawal of Ukraine from the process of Eurasian integration in 2014, the Eurasian supranational construct evolved, growing from the five member-based Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) which entered into force in 2015, into a broader and more fluid vision of a Greater Eurasia. Although growing from a low base, the evidence presented in this article shows the rapid growth in trade in the EAEU region and beyond. China has become the major trade partner of Russia, surpassing the EU, with both policies and projections pointing to rapidly increasing trade in the future. Both theory and practice suggest that the existence of different and complementary resource endowments and economic structures should provide firm foundations for stronger cooperation in the future.
