Global Corporate Control as a Threat to the Economic Security of the Russian Federation

The relevance of the study is due to the significant dependence of the economy of the Russian Federation on the activities and technologies of global corporations. The subject of the study is the impact of global corporate control on the economic security of the Russian Federation in the financial sphere. The objectives of the work are to establish and characterize the main directions of the influence of global corporate control on the economic security of the Russian Federation for the development of measures to protect the economic sovereignty of the country by reducing the dependence of the Russian economy on the activities of transnational corporations. As a result of the research, the presence of the same large shareholders in the capital of global corporations has been revealed. It is established that the instrument of suppression of competition, as well as financial monopolization of the world economy is the overconcentration of global financial capital. The analysis of the mechanisms of non-financial global corporate control in the areas of technologically complex and simple production is carried out. It is concluded that global corporate control is possible primarily in the field of non–financial production through the use of a chain of vertical progress —  from the production of technologically simple products to the manufacture of more complex products, also as a result of the transformation of technological sovereignty into financial sovereignty.
