Russia's present economic relations with Commonwealth countries can be characterized as the transition from the fixing of boundaries between states and the creation of a fundamentally new mechanism of interaction on an international contractual basis to close integration in different spheres of the economy. These processes are complex and largely contradictory. The maintenance and improvement of economic relations between Commonwealth members under market conditions can hardly be even remotely compared to attempts to preserve elements of the old control mechanism, much less to return to the past.
