The article analyses the institutional aspect of cross-border cooperation on the Russian borders and considers various forms and types of cross-border interactions. The author shows how the geopolitical crisis in relations with the West and the Russian "turn to the East" have affected and may still affect the evolution of cooperation institutions. The author concludes that in order to intensify cooperation on the Russian borders, it is necessary to form a special Russian good neighborhood policy, which, using a programme and project approach, will make cross-border cooperation both a means of development of Russia's border regions and a mechanism for promoting the country's foreign policy interests in neighbouring countries.
