Materials and methods. The article examines the main reasons that caused the need for import substitution in Russia, and also analyzes the measures taken by the government to solve this problem. The results of the conducted research in this area will be analyzed, and recommendations for the further development of the import substitution strategy in Russia will be presented. Research and discussion. The main results of the study show that import substitution can become a key factor for the development of the Russian economy.
