Abstract

Aim. To analyze the dynamics and structure of Russian-German trade relations in terms of Russia's national interests, including the interests of Russian business. Methodology. The methods of system analysis, comparison, generalization, induction and deduction were used in the study. Results. The dynamics of trade turnover between Russia and Germany is analyzed. The structure of exports and imports of the two countries is analyzed. Attention is focused on the analysis of the trade turnover of the two countries in the context of the development of the manufacturing industry and agriculture of Russia, which corresponds to the national interests of Russia and Russian business. Research implications. The analysis showed that the previous model of relationship, where Russia mainly supplied fuel and primary goods while Germany supplied industrial and consumer products, is becoming out of date. It is being replaced with a new model, contributing to the economic growth which is urgently necessary for Russia in conditions of confrontation with the West. This tendency should not only be stated but should be supported by the Government and nationally oriented business in every possible way.
