Russia's accession to the WTO is an efficient
instrument of the country's integration
into the globalized world economy. However,
it can adversely affect a number of enterprises
and industries within the national
economy. Thus, there is a need to develop a
methodology for the assessment of the preparedness
for operating under WTO membership
conditions, which can be practically applied
in the development of measures aimed
at increasing the competitiveness of economic
entities. This determines the objective of the
research. This article offers the author's assessment
of the reasonability of Russia's accession
to the WTO and suggests methodological
approaches to the assessment of preparedness
of the constituent entities of the
Russian Federation for functioning in the new
economic conditions based on the algorithm
of choosing a system of indicators, as well as
the organisation of enterprise monitoring according
to this system, which makes it possible
to formulate rational administrative decisions
in order to minimise the adverse effects
of Russia's accession to the WTO. The major
result of the research is the conclusion that,
although the objective of identifying the start
position of the constituent entities before the
accession to the WTO and its possible implications
is quite difficult to attain, it is both
theoretically and practically feasible.

The authors have considered both the role of territorial subjects of the Federation in the foreign trade activity of Russia and the characteristics of conditions for the implementation of foreign economic relations by the Russian regions. The hypothesis of the research suggests that in the current conditions of Russia's participation in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and new geopolitical challenges in the foreign trade activity, the territorial subjects of the Federation more and more actively realize their constitutional right on international economic relatiens. The role of Russian regions in the development of the foreign trade activity of Russia constantly rises as a single center in modern conditions, is not able to manage all matters relating to foreign trade activity arising in the concrete region of the state. The relevance of the article consists in the need to investigate the change of conditions for the implementation of foreign economic activity by territorial subjects of the Federation as during the current period, regions play more important role in the development of the foreign trade activity of Russia. The authors assessed the impact of WTO, whose member Russia became in 2012 on its foreign trade. The assessment has shown an absence of any real notable positive or negative consequences. The politicization of world economy is the characteristic of the present stage of its development. Thus, the world markets are more dependent on political factors than on other ones. The results of the conducted research can be applied and used for the development and realization of the regional model and strategy of foreign trade activity. The future research will be focused on the development and improvement of the model of the implementation of foreign economic activity by the territorial subjects of the Russian Federation. ; Рассмотрена роль субъектов Федерации во внешнеторговой деятельности России.
