Abstract

The geo-economic position of Russia suggests that Russian exports of transport and freight forwarding services could be expanded, thus resulting in significantly higher foreign exchange earnings. To understand the nature and reasons for the current situation, the author reviewed the role of major modes of transport involved in international transportation of goods.
