1. Potato

Oddly enough, Belarus is not at all the world leader in growing this root crop. In the first place - China, but the honorable second - Russian agricultural producers. On average, we have 120-130 kg of potatoes per capita per year.

2.​ Sportswear and equipment

BASK (sewing factories in Ryazan and Korolyov) specializes in the production of high-tech clothing for sports and extreme tourism based on its own developments. The company's products are supplied to Europe and Canada. And in the Kaluga region is the world's largest manufacturer of cross-country skis - Balabanovskaya factory.

3. Software

Yes, not all computer geeks are concentrated in Asia and the USA. Russia has something to be proud of in the IT area. Kaspersky Lab, ABBYY, Dr. Web, 1C, Acronis are products that are widely used not only in Russia, but all over the world.

4. Medicines

Although Russia is not famous all over the world for its medical institutions, it sometimes takes the lead in terms of pharmaceuticals and innovations in the field of medicine. So, our specialists invented such medicines as Anaferon, Grippol, Phenotropil, Arbidol and many others. And according to analysts, the Russian pharmaceutical market today is one of the fastest growing.

5. Car DVRs

Few people know that in the Vladimir region in the city of Alexandrov there is a whole production of domestic AdvoCam car DVRs. Here, engineers develop new models, as well as test ready-made devices for suitability for Russian conditions. As a result, Russian registrars are guaranteed to cope with severe winter frosts and are not afraid of shaking on broken roads. The final assembly of large batches has to be trusted to partners from China, but even here everything is under the control of Russian engineers. Naturally, such production costs more than buying finished electronics in China, but even at prices above the average, AdvoCam entered the top 10 of the Russian DVR market in 2013.

6. Maritime navigation systems

The products of the Russian company Transas help thousands of ships of various classes not to get lost in the oceans. It is the absolute leader in the world market of marine navigation equipment.

This, of course, is not a complete list of goods produced in Russia. With proper development, such reasons for pride can become even more. And there, you see, and without any sanctions we will manage on our own.
