Budgetary Measures for Ensuring Economic Security in Modern Russian Realities

The article examines budgetary measures for ensuring Russia's economic security amid unprecedented sanctions pressure from unfriendly states. It investigates relations arising during development, legal establishment and application of budgetary mechanisms for protecting national economic interests. The author analyzes the dualistic nature of budgetary measures' influence on economic security, manifested through direct and indirect impacts. Attention is given to systematizing and classifying ordinary (general) and extraordinary (anti-crisis) budgetary measures. The article examines budgetary measures of strategic planning, stabilization, socio-economic, stimulating, and inter-budgetary mechanisms, as well as special institutional forms of budgetary regulation applied in crisis situations. The relevance of the topic is due to anti-Russian sanctions, the number of which has exceeded 28 thousand. The methodological foundation of the research consists of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison) and special scientific methods: formal legal analysis, systematic analysis of legislation, and analysis of law enforcement practice in the budgetary sphere. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the theoretical and methodological understanding and systematization of budgetary measures for ensuring economic security under conditions of unprecedented sanctions pressure. The paper formulates the author's definition of budgetary measures for ensuring economic security as a complex of interconnected budgetary-legal and organizational mechanisms implemented within the budget system to protect national economic interests. An original classification of budgetary measures has been developed according to the mechanism of impact (direct and indirect), nature of application (ordinary and extraordinary), and content (strategic, stabilization, socio-economic, stimulating, and inter-budgetary – for ordinary measures; institutional mechanisms of anti-crisis regulation; special forms of targeted financing; special measures to support the population and business; special mechanisms of macroeconomic stabilization – for extraordinary measures). The specificity of anti-crisis budgetary measures under sanctions conditions has been identified.
