Annotation: For nine years, Russia has been under the influence of sanctions imposed by a number of European countries and the United States. From 2014 to 2022, sanctions were put forward by the world community, which had a significant impact on all spheres of the country’s public life.

The consequences of the imposed sanctions seriously affect the Russian economy. The article analyzes the impact of anti-Russian sanctions on the country’s economy. It was noted that the sanctions impact on the country’s economy was reflected in the reduction in GDP, inflation growth, reduction in imports, and reduction in the volume of Russia’s foreign trade.

A possible scenario for further development is proposed, taking into account adaptation to the modern realities of economic development.
