the current state of bilateral trade between Russia and Syria; Syria as a promising direction for the Russian export business and the need for its development are considered. The authors analyzed the foreign trade potential of the dynamics and structure of foreign trade relations, identified comparative advantages in the world commodity markets, determined the place and role of bilateral foreign trade partnership. Russia is one of the key export markets for Syrian agricultural products, whose price competitiveness is supported by zero preferential duties within the framework of the unified system of preferences of the Eurasian Economic Union. In the course of the study, the authors identified the volume of unrealized export potential of Syria to the EAEU countries and vice versa, including in the structure of goods. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop trade relations on a bilateral basis with the help of instruments aimed at raising awareness of consumer demand and supply of national producers, as well as through “soft power” instruments in the field of education. It seems that Syria’s obtaining observer status in the EAEU will become an incentive to strengthen trust relations and investment attractiveness, which, in turn, will become the basis for joint work on infrastructure cross-border logistics projects in Syria (the Five Seas Strategy) and will reduce costs for increasing mutually beneficial bilateral trade. The study contains theoretical and statistical justification, as well as practical proposals for the development of friendly relations and strategic partnership with the Syrian Arab Republic in the context of the development of integration processes of the Eurasian Economic Union.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Рассматриваются вопросы актуальности внешнеторгового сотрудничества России и Сирии, в том числе возможности и риски сирийской экономики для партнеров; современное состояние двусторонней торговли России и Сирии; Сирия как перспективное направление для российского экспортного бизнеса и необходимость его развития. Авторами проведен анализ внешнеторгового потенциала Сирии - динамика и структура внешнеторговых отношений, выявлены сравнительные преимущества на мировых товарных рынках, определены место и роль двустороннего внешнеторгового партнерства. Россия является одним из ключевых экспортных рынков для продукции сельского хозяйства Сирии, чья ценовая конкурентоспособность поддерживается нулевыми преференциальными пошлинами в рамках единой системы преференций Евразийского экономического союза. В ходе исследования авторами выявлен объем нереализованного экспортного потенциала Сирии в страны ЕАЭС и наоборот, в том числе в структуре по товарам. Делается вывод о необходимости развития торговых отношений на двусторонней основе с помощью инструментов, нацеленных на повышение информированности о потребительском спросе и предложении национальных производителей, а также посредством инструментов «мягкой силы» в области образования. Представляется, что получение Сирией статуса наблюдателя в ЕАЭС станет стимулом для укрепления доверительных отношений и инвестиционной привлекательности, что, в свою очередь, станет базой для совместной работы над инфраструктурными трансграничными логистическими проектами в Сирии (Стратегия пяти морей) и снизит издержки для наращивания взаимовыгодной двусторонней торговли. Исследование содержит теоретическое и статистическое обоснование, а также практические предложения по развитию дружественных отношений и стратегического партнерства с Сирийской Арабской Республикой в контексте развития интеграционных процессов Евразийского экономического союза.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>foreign trade</kwd><kwd>Syria</kwd><kwd>EAEU</kwd><kwd>export potential</kwd><kwd>trade costs</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>внешняя торговля</kwd><kwd>Сирия</kwd><kwd>ЕАЭС</kwd><kwd>экспортный потенциал</kwd><kwd>издержки торговли</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This paper has been supported by the RUDN University Strategic Academic Leadership Program</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Публикация выполнена при поддержке Программы стратегического академического лидерства РУДН</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Aksenenok, A.
