The article continues the series of works devoted to the national economy and the growth
of its competitive power. We put forward a thesis that protectionism policies need to be
conducted in Russia, and this is exemplified by the history of tsarist Russia. The positive
and negative sides of such policies are shown. The article highlights the main trends of
the import substitution policy making, which were outlined in the “Russian Government
Program on Import Substitution until 2020”, based on the decrees and regulations de-
veloped by the government. We emphasize that business and innovation must become the
basis of the national output development. The lines of developing the innovative climate
in Russia are introduced. The authors put forward the statement that entrepreneurs play
a major role in this process. The first fruits of carrying out the import substitution policy
are shown. It is concluded that the import substitution policy should contribute to in-
creasing the competitiveness of Russian goods and by no means lead to the companies’
total dependence on the state support.
