Russian economist about the future of the regions. Which areas will suffer more

The economic crisis caused by the imposition of sanctions due to Russia's special operation in Ukraine will hit all regions of the Russian Federation with the auto industry, mechanical engineering and related industries the hardest. This opinion was expressed by a Russian economist, professor, specialist in the field of socio-economic development of the regions of Moscow State University. Lomonosova Natalya Zubarevich.

"First. These are all regions of the automotive industry, even Avtovaz, with the exception of Lada Grant, maybe. All subcontractors who work for these assembly plants are Russian localized. Farther. Living mechanical engineering - energy, transport, that is, from the train cars that all these "Sapsan", all these "Swallows" - this is all of the components that are supplied to a large extent from abroad, which means Tver, Verkhnyaya Pyshma . Verkhnyaya Salda is getting up - this is a titanium production, the Urals, Sverlovsk region, Boeing refused to buy it, ”explains Zubarevich.

In the Kaliningrad region, the crisis will affect, first of all, part of the assembly production in the Avtotor holding, as well as oil production, which may affect the development of deposits planned for the coming years by Lukoil-Kaliningradnefteprodukt.

“Oil and gas producing regions are our breadwinners. If oil is not bought very much, then how?

The most problematic one so far is Lukoil, because it supplied a lot to the States (), and the States closed sales. Rosneft is easier, it drives almost half of its exports to CHINA and Asia.
