The purpose of this study is to determine the position of the Russian Federation in international rankings through a comparative analysis of its performance, on the one hand, and the performance of the world’s leading nations, on the other hand. This will facilitate the subsequent development of governance decisions in areas requiring close attention from the state. Methods. We used the following research tools: methods of statistical data grouping and comparative analysis, as well as formal logical methods. Results and Discussion. Since 2014, various factors (foreign policy, economics, the geopolitical situation, volatile prices in the oil market and the instability of the national currency) have been fuelling the crisis in the national economy, which has led to a decrease in Russia’s position in international rankings. After some adaptation to external factors and a partial economic recovery in 2018—2020, Russia’s position has levelled off somewhat, but the pre-crisis results are yet to be achieved. The results of the study have revealed a positive overall trend, with the most significant progress in those rankings that characterise the competitiveness of the national economy. Conclusion. The research results are of practical importance and can be used for adjusting the policy of Russia’s advancement in science and technology.
