The Origin and Decline of Russian Economic Geography

Abstract

Levintov A

Economic geography in Russia was shaped by German geographers or under their strong influence, although Germany itself was not a world leader in world geography. The secondary nature of Russian geography was especially acutely felt in theoretical terms and in the orientation of this science to the needs and orders of the state. After perestroika and the collapse of the USSR, geography ceased to be a monolithic front, but, unfortunately, it is struck by scientific inbring and a massive flow of fictitious and demonstrative works. The war in Ukraine and the associated international isolation is becoming a decisive factor in the extinction of Russian economic geography.
