Abstract

The article includes the results of a study of the business environment of the Dnieper-Dvina region (Smolensk, Vitebsk and Mogilev regions) for the period from 1992 to 2018. The article substantiates the allocation of three regions of the Russian-Belarusian border in a separate region. The integration of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation took place over this period in several stages, each of which reflected on the state of the business environment of the border regions. The article highlights the socio-economic consequences of integration for the business environment of the Dnieper-Dvina region. The lag of the Russian-Belarusian border regions from national trends in terms of wages and incomes of the population is established, which provokes the outflow of skilled labor in the capital regions, and also worsens the demographic situation, which is characterized by a low birth rate and high mortality rate. The article highlights the stages of socio-demographic development of the Dnieper-Dvina region. The results of the study confirm the hypothesis that the inter-metropolitan border regions of the Russian-Belarusian border section are developing more slowly and lagging behind the nationwide growth rates. The business environment of the Dnieper-Dvina region is characterized by low solvency of the population, migration outflow and a decrease in the number of potential consumers. The article suggests options for improving the business environment and the attractiveness of the border regions of Russia and Belarus.
