Which economy grew faster over the past 15 years – the EU or Russia? How many Russians are out of work, and how sound are the country’s public finances? How much red tape do Russian businesses have to deal with? What kind of products does the EU export to Russia? You can find the answers to these and other questions in our EPRS publication on Russia: economic indicators and trade with EU , the first of a series of infographics produced in collaboration with the European University Institute’s GlobalStat on the world’s main economies.
