Changing Russia's technological development strategy in response to Western self-isolation

The article draws attention to the inevitable adjustment of Russia's economic and technological development strategy after the beginning of a special military operation in Ukraine. Situation in the country as a result of the harsh sanctions imposed by the West and its desire to achieve a military defeat of Russia has dramatically changed. In these extraordinary conditions, the emphasis was placed on maintaining the functioning of the economy and the social sphere, on import substitution and the development of production of critical products, albeit not of the highest quality, but with the prospect of becoming competitive. Russia temporarily had to abandon the Euro 5 and 4 standards in the automotive and transport industries and introduce administrative breaks for business. The tasks of selective avant-garde technological development have receded into the background compared to the need for survival and the creation of an independent national economic complex that does not depend on Western investments and technology. The self-isolation of the West from Russia has not led to the closure of our economy, which has preserved and expanded trade and production ties with the rest of the world and can use them to modernize and increase scientific, technological and all economic potential. Our country is currently placed in a situation in which it is forced to urgently strengthen its economic and technological sovereignty; and this task becomes central to ensuring its security in every sense of the word.
