Abstract
In many countries, it is possible to observe the contradiction between the increase of cross-border flows under the impact of globalization and regional integration and remaining considerable and often increasing barrier ft ictions of the borders. A comparative study of interactions with adjacent regions on different sections of Russian borders revealed a controversial character of the relation betweei crossborder flows and borders’ barrier functions. The authors suggest an approach for the evaluation of state borders’ barrier function. The capacity of all road-crossing points was estimated and compared with the real flows of vehicles and people. It is shown that the density of crossing points is changing depending on the shills in bilateral relations betweenRussiaand neighboring countries and the intensity of interactions. A typology of Russian borders by their barrier functions and by the importance of interactions with the neighboring countries was developed.
