The opening of Russia: an assessment of the impact on East-West trade

Article Abstract:

Changes in trade policy in Russia and the global community, coupled with a normalization of East-West relations, has resulted in an increase in international trade involving Russia. It is estimated that trade policy decisions in Russia resulted in as much as 55% of all imports to that country in 1993, and 40% of the exports. Normalized relations have had a predictable effect, with as much as 60% of the potential trade between Russia and the non-European West that would be expected under non-Cold War conditions being realized in 1993.
