Export controls in Russia: Policies and practices

Abstract

Since the early 1990s, export control problems have increasingly become one of the key issues in USRussian relations and have frequently surfaced during bilateral dialogue between Russia and a number of other developed countries. Moreover, export controls are actively discussed at multilateral international forums in which Russia participates, such as the G-8. Beginning in the mid-1990s, issues related to export control violations have also appeared in the lists of domestic security concerns of the Russian political leadership.
