Abstract: After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia faced two major problems: the shift from a closed to an open economic system, and the shift from the plan to a market economy. Our research addresses the evolution of the international specialization of Russia since the beginning of transition. More precisely, we calculate the indicators of international specialization (market position and revealed comparative advantages). We show that up to the 2000s, Russia has pursued a pattern based on the inherited specialization of the soviet economy, being naturally advantaged in hydrocarbons and some other resource sectors (wood), and also in the production of energy intensive goods (metals). This paper deals with three major topics: (i) evolution of product specialization of the Russian economy, (ii) evolution of geographical structure of Russia's foreign trade and (iii) prospects for the future with a special emphasis on the hydrocarbons sector.
