However, it is the long-term consequences that are really important. These are better understood when bearing in mind that in a few years’ time, the Russian economy’s tariff protection will be lower than China’s, while Russia will be immeasurably less competitive.The reason for these effects is simple – the purpose of the WTO is to maximize free competition in international trade. Objectively, it entails the suppression of the weak participants in the global competition up to and including their annihilation. Russia, with its population crisis and poor management, is weak. The desire to remove for good all protective barriers, combined with the categorical rejection of the country's leadership to modernize, is like turning the Russian economy into a three-year-old child getting into the ring with Mike Tyson.
