Th e author reveals the transportation issues through the “Space” with 1520 mm of railways, uniting the countries of the former USSR, Finland and Mongolia. Based on the analysis of modern requirements to transport and logistics, the author has formulated approaches to improving the supply of petroleum products from the Russian Federation to the CIS countries and the Middle Abroad. Particular attention is paid to the promising directions for improving the transport and logistics services, the technologies for the delivery of oil cargoes, as well as the need to take comprehensive measures to formulate agreed principles for tariff , tax and customs policy of the CIS countries to enhance export transportation and provide transportation services in deliveries of oil cargo within the framework of the “Space 1520”. Th e conclusion is drawn on the need to use the European experience in the formation of a single transport space as a competitive transport system, which could and should be used by Russia and the countries belonging to the Eurasian Economic Union and the “1520 Space”
