Despite the strong competition on the part of the European Union (EU) to become
a main integrator in the Post-Soviet Space, the Russian Federation (RF) has not
abandoned the idea of continuing to promote integration among ex Soviet Union’s
republics and as a result, on the basis of the Eurasian Economy Community
(EAEC), the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), which is meant to become a link
between Europe and Asia, has been created. This contribution aims to analyse the
integration in the Post-Soviet Space and the role and perspectives of a new agent
in the region, the EEU. With regard to methodology of research, such theoretical
methods as analysis of literature and authors’ opinions, analyses of official legal
documents and statistics data and comparative analysis of institutions were
applied.
