Abstract

The article analyzes the actual shifts that were quite clearly manifested during 2020 in the dynamics and structure of foreign trade relations of the Russian Federation. On the basis of the latest analytical materials of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), official data of customs statistics of the Russian Federation, the outlined changes in the past year that are unfavorable for Russia's foreign trade activity against the background of a noticeable slowdown in world economic evolution and the corresponding troubles in modern international commodity trade are shown. The growth of various kinds of cataclysms in these areas (including the introduction of a lockdown provoked by the spread of a viral infection at the global level) increased the degree of instability in the system of world commodity exchange, which had a negative impact on the foreign trade activities of a number of leading exporters, including Russia. The author in the article presents the latest statistical materials, calculated data, first introduced into the domestic scientific circulation.
