The object of the study is the system of international transport corridors passing through the territory of Russia. The subject of the study is the changes in the routes and intensity of mass cargo traffic on the territory of Russia (export, import and transit) caused by sanctions restrictions. The main scientific result is an assessment of the growth of traffic volumes on all types of transport compared to the pandemic period in 2020-2021, identification of priority directions for the development of international transport corridors already existing in Russia and developing routes of mass cargo flows, on the basis of which the organization of the infrastructure of a new international transport is preferable.
