Abstract—Why does Russia need capital exports amid the current investment recession within the country?
RAS Corresponding Member A.V. Kuznetsov gave a substantiated answer in his presentation at a meeting of
the RAS Presidium. Resting on the results of his survey conducted at the RAS Institute of World Economy and
International Relations, the presenter highlighted the main problems of foreign investments by Russian multi-
national companies that arose or aggravated after the change of power in Ukraine and the beginning of the “war
of sanctions” with the West. He paid special attention to the competition of Russian companies with West Euro-
pean and East Asian multinationals, suggesting a typology of Russian companies that invest abroad and formu-
lating the main objectives for government regulation of this activity.
Keywords: foreign direct investment, Russian multinational corporations, capital export, geography of Russian
investment abroad, offshore investment.
