Subject Under global instability, Russia's positions in the geo-economic sphere are ambiguous and contradictory. The imposed sanctions against Russia by the US and EU only have deepened the structural problems of the national economy. In the current circumstances, the social and economic development of Russia depends on external factors, in particular, on global energy prices, conditions of Russia's functioning in the WTO, the global economic crisis. All these factors have an adverse impact on the development of the entire national economy. Objectives The purpose is to study the development trends in the national economy, and to determine the position of Russia through the prism of global instability. Methods The methodological framework includes the historical and logical analysis, statistical and comparative analysis, the scientific abstraction method. These methods helped reveal structural problems of the national economy under modern conditions. Results I have developed possible scenarios of Russia's cooperation with certain countries and regions of the world after lifting or mitigating the sanctions. The article shows that it is advisable for the national economy to use a mixed model of cooperation with post-socialist countries, as it will take into account the geopolitical and geo-economic interests of Russia under global instability. Conclusionsand Relevance I conclude that the current global economic crisis has revealed the specific problems of inefficiency of local economies, which are intensified under destabilized global economic relations. The dependence of the national economy on oil prices can be overcome only through restoring the 'industrial landscape' and the radical transformation of its structure.
