Abstract: The article is devoted to comprehensive assessment of the Russian resource-extraction companies' readiness to develop domestic markets, which is an important condition for the formation of integrated national economy. Russian economy development is mainly due to the functioning of the export and raw materials sector. This phenomenon leads to the emergence of enclaves of wealth, which do not have any impact on the development of the rest of the economy. Methodological approaches of the study are represented with the concept of dual enclave economy, the concept of global value chains and the concept of discrete structural alternatives. Apparatus of theory of fuzzy sets and algorithm of fuzzy inference of Sugeno-0 order were chosen as research methods. The fulfilled analyses show that state-owned enterprises and companies those affiliated with the state are characterised with the high level of readiness to develop domestic markets. Private resource-extraction companies demonstrate medium and low levels.

Keywords: global markets; global value chains; economic development; big business; resources extraction.
