The article deals in detail with the problem of determining the place of Russia in the global value chain based on the study of manufacturing industries. The author analyzes in detail the effectiveness of Russia’s integration into the GVC, based on the study of the industry structure and comparison of export volumes. Based on the latter, we can say that the goods of manufacturing industries are in the leading positions in Russia’s total exports for 2019. However, it is necessary to keep in mind the risks associated with the political aspect of economic integration. Another obstacle is the problem of competitiveness, which slows down Russia’s integration into the world market. Despite this, predicting the growth of economic indicators, we can conclude that the Russian manufacturing industry has broad prospects for development.
