Abstract

The dissolution of the USSR resulted in the formation of a new system of interrelations in the post-Soviet space. Among the most crucial problems were border issues between the republics of the former USSR, including the development of local cooperation and economic revitalization of the border areas. Since internal boundaries became external the border regions of the newly independent states transformed their functions from contact to barrier ones. Bilateral relations concerning border issues are still strained in some cases, but the major territory of border zones could be considered potentially favorable for cooperation. The present article is focused on the problems of the economic development of the frontier Russian and Ukrainian regions which were separated by the border in the early of 1990s as well as on the specificity of mutual investments and industrial organization located in the proximity of the common border. The economic potential of the border region is investigated taking into account the events of the Ukraine crisis and the recent developments in the Russian-Ukrainian relations that have radically influenced the prospective of bilateral cooperation.
