Russia and Afghanistan have a long history of cooperation. In the XX century, the Soviet Union provided economic assistance to Afghanistan, including the financing and construction of objects of industry and infrastructure, which are now in need of rehabili-tation and modernization. The accumulated experience of cooperation makes Russia may be one of the major players in Afghani-stan and participate in reconstruction of the country. The relevance of this article stems from the fact that at the present time in conditions of economic sanctions and the deterioration of relations with countries of the West, Russia intends to renew and develop relationships with long-term partners. Today Afghanistan is trying to recover from the devastating effects of years of civil war, and invite Russia to join this process. This means that Russia had a unique chance to return and gain a foothold in the market of Afghanistan, which will be an advantage for the development of cooperation between the two countries. The task of the article is analysis of the economic situation in Afghanistan, in order to study the possibilities of deepening and development of Russian-Afghan trade and economic cooperation. The analysis of Russian-Afghan relations showed that to date, despite the existence of certain problems faced by our country, the development of trade and economic relations is a promising direction of bilateral cooperation.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье рассматривается динамика развития экономической ситуации в Исламской Республике Афганистан после падения режима талибов в 2001 г., а также современное состояние и перспективы развития российско-афганских торгово-экономических отношений. Россия и Афганистан имеют долгую историю сотрудничества. В XX в. Советский Cоюз оказывал экономическую помощь Афганистану, включающую финансирование и строительство объектов промышленности и инфраструктуры, которые сегодня нуждаются в восстановлении и модернизации. Благодаря накопленному опыту сотрудничества Россия сегодня может стать одним из основных игроков в Афганистане и поучаствовать в восстановлении страны. Актуальность данной статьи обусловливается тем, что в настоящее время в условиях экономических санкций и ухудшения отношений со странами Запада Россия намерена возобновить и развивать отношения с давними партнерами. Сегодня Афганистан пытается оправиться от разрушительных последствий многолетней гражданской войны и приглашает Москву присоединиться к этому процессу. Проведенный анализ российско-афганских отношений показал, что на сегодняшний день, несмотря на наличие определенных проблем, с которыми сталкиваются наши страны, развитие торгово-экономических отношений является перспективным направлением двухстороннего сотрудничества.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>trade and economic relations</kwd><kwd>economic development</kwd><kwd>investments</kwd><kwd>reconstruction of Afghanistan</kwd><kwd>turnover</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>торгово-экономические отношения</kwd><kwd>экономическое развитие</kwd><kwd>инвестиции</kwd><kwd>реконструкция Афганистана</kwd><kwd>товарооборот</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Amin, M.
