The article is devoted to one of the most pressing topics in the world – this is a shadow economy, and Russia is no exception. This article discusses the concepts of the shadow economy and its features. And also the problem of the shadow economy in Russia is being raised.

Sanctions designed to break Russia’s foreign trade relations and cut off Western financial flows were supposed to cause “financial starvation” of economic entities, but these plans were violated by the actions of our government. However, other objective factors played an important role in this, such as: firstly, the deep integration of the state into the economy, secondly, the high share of the shadow economy, and the third factor – the real sector of the economy in recent years has existed under the conditions of a “financial hunger." These factors contributed to the Russian economy's resistance to adverse impacts, and enabled it to develop in new conditions.
