Theoretical and practical analysis of the implementation of national projects as a factor in ensuring Russia’s economic security has been carried out. The current political and economic situation both on the external and internal contours of the country, numerous economic sanctions, persistent attempts to lead our state to economic and political isolation, the need for a sharp increase in defense spending and maintenance of Russia’s global strategic interests in the world - all this carries significant risks, poses threats to the country’s economic security and creates serious problems for its provision. Nowadays, the military component has become more and more important in ensuring security, including economic security, and the economy, in turn, has become one of the methods of modern warfare. For Russia, the special military operation in Ukraine, peacekeeping operation in Armenia, assistance in the fight against international terrorism in Syria not only required huge financial investments, but also led to an intensive increase in the number of armed forces, which in turn caused the diversion of labor resources and the emergence of a shortage of personnel in the economic sector. Against the background of the urgent restructuring of the current economic model and its accelerated reorientation towards the military-industrial complex, the tasks of implementing the national projects approved in our country were overshadowed. Nevertheless, it is safe to say that national projects are the most important tool to minimize risks in the field of ensuring economic security of the state. One of such tools is the Decree No. 204 “On National Goals and Strategic Objectives of the Development of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2024” signed by the President of the Russian Federation on May 7, 2018, commonly known as the May decrees. This document has not lost its significance today and will remain relevant for many years to come, as it lays down the basic principles and ways of maintaining the country’s economic security. In the modern world, while the goal of military operations is traditionally resources, the main method is not only and not so much the capture of territory, but ideological subjugation through the imposition on the opponent by any means, primarily economic, of its worldview and value model. Thus, the time and space frames, the concepts of the beginning and end of hostilities, front and rear lose their substantive and fundamental meaning. In addition to the confrontation of armies and weapons, modern war is a confrontation of ideologies, traditional and conjunctural meanings, historical facts and their interpretations. It is obvious that at the present stage a rethinking of some concepts, approaches and interrelations in the process of ensuring the security of the state is required. In this context, the implementation of national projects is one of the main factors and acquires special importance. The study proposes to study the concept of “economic security”, to trace the relationship between the provision of economic security and the implementation of national strategies, to distinguish the meanings of the concepts of national strategy and national project.
