Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the foreign sanctions impact on the Russian economy. By means of historical retrospection the author explains why the European policy of sanctions has shown its inefficiency and is going to fail very soon. Special attention is paid to the comparison of the events which had taken place a hundred years ago with the modern events; the author studies the Western trade policy towards Russia in times of the diplomatic and economic isolation of Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. The methodological base of the research contains the following methods: system, structural functional, comparative historical, comparative political, geopolitical, cultural and civilizational, the methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, modeling and observation. The results of the research show that as it was in the 1920s, nowadays Russia is able not only to survive without the import of goods, but also to adjust the production, eliminating the further dependence on the foreign goods. The author uses the data of the Russian and the foreign archives, and it confirms the conclusions made in the process of the research.
