The full-scale invasion of Ukraine and resulting sanctions against Russia has had an overwhelmingly negative impact on the Russian automobile industry. This has resulted in industry-wide changes, most notably the nationalization of privately-held automakers and an exodus of foreign automakers. This marks the beginning of a new era within the Russian automobile industry that is distinct from the post-Soviet era, which had been characterized by globalization and a highly diversified, competitive market. This new era will be defined by a struggle to overcome the reliance on globalized supply chains, the development of indigenous technologies and processes related to automobile production, and the growing role of the Chinese auto industry in Russia. This piece argues that, since its founding, the Russian automobile industry has relied on foreign technology transfers to facilitate progress, as opposed to long-term investment in domestically developing these technologies. Dating back to the Soviet Union, the automobile has been a symbol used by Russian leaders to show progress towards larger objectives, like industrialization under Stalin or achieving parity with the West under Khrushchev. Using these historical trends and markers as a lens for interpreting events today, this piece argues the automobile industry of today continues to be influenced by the trends of the past, while developing under the unique realities of post-February 24, 2022 Russia.
