Abstract

Increasing international sanctions against Russia have become an unprecedented challenge to the viability of both individual enterprises and entire industries and sectors of the economy. The decisive factor in overcoming difficulties is the degree of coordination of producers’ efforts and targeted support measures from the state. A number of countries already have experience of successful autonomization in certain industries under sanctions. In the article on the example of Iran’s auto-mobile industry the mechanisms and factors that could play a key role in the development of this industry in the conditions of severe international restrictions are considered. Such an analysis helps to identify the risks and opportunities that the approach chosen by Russia on the path of import substitution in the automotive industry.
