Embargo, agricultural policy and the changing paradigms of the state administration.
The article analyses the problems arising in the Russian agricultural sector due to the introduction of the embargo on the import of food products from certain countries, and measures of agricultural policy, which are necessary to solve these problems and achieve the food independence. With regard to a long term decline in the profitability is proposed to increase the size of the state support, including subsidizing the credit interest rate for agricultural producers, and also to take organizational and financial measures for the development of cooperation in small-scale sector. These changes as well as changes in government economic policy require the rejection of the paradigma «market fundamentalism». On the basis of the S. D. Bodrunova three-sector model of the Russian economy and of positions of some other discussion participants this paper discusses the chances of such rejection.
