Dear readers, we are pleased to present the ninth issue of the journal “LOGISTICS” for 2026. The issue features articles that not only reflect current industry trends but also provide practical guidance for managerial decision‑making.
Dear readers! You are holding the combined issue of the “LOGISTICS” journal, in which we have collected materials for July and August 2026. It brings together practice and theory, applied solutions and bold methodological explorations.
Dear readers! We are pleased to present you with the sixth issue of the journal for 2026, in which the theory and practice of logistics are explored in a variety of relevant areas. This issue is truly multifaceted, combining reflections on the essence of logistics processes with applied calculations and industry-specific cases.
Annotation. The article is devoted to the study of the current state of methodological support for the analysis and assessment of logistics risks in the supply chain. The author's classification is proposed, which distinguishes traditional and modern groups of methods. The results of the study substantiate the need for a combined methodological approach.
Key words. Logistics risk, supply chain, methodological support, classification of methods, analysis and assessment of logistics risk.
Annotation. Predictive-pull inventory control is assessed on a digital twin of a multimodal supply chain. Under cascading infrastructure blockages the controller keeps a 97,2% service level at 10.70 bn RUB against 91,96% and 16,49 bn RUB for DDMRP. The stability limit is estimated.
Key words. Multimodal supply chain, transport lag, digital twin, reinforcement learning, structural fragility, DDMRP, stability limit.
Annotation. One of the manifestations of the intellectualization of logistics at the present stage is the use of highly automated motor vehicles. Their commercial use is constantly expanding, not only in enclosed areas within warehouses and distribution centers, but also over long distances, including on public roads. The experience of long distance transportation by unmanned vehicles on highways both within Russia and in international traffic, as well as for ensuring the extraction of minerals in the conditions of Siberia and the Far East, has been considered.
Key words. Highly automated vehicles, unmanned transport corridors, intelligent logistics.
Annotation. The article proposes a set of classification criteria for transport projects from the perspective of regional interests and presents a methodological approach to systematizing indicators for the economic evaluation of transport projects, taking into account the extent of their impact on the socio-economic development of the region. It is substantiated that the activities of transport organizations involved in a project serve as an instrument of regional integration, and that the rational use of this instrument to a certain extent determines both the socio-economic integrity of the region and its resilience.
Key words. Transport project, stakeholders, economic assessment, efficiency, region.
Annotation. The article examines the impact of the Great Silk Road on the logistics, economy, and social sphere of the ancient world. It analyzes the development and stagnation of medieval states linked to this trade route and assesses the development prospects for various iterations of the «New Silk Road».
Key words. logistics, economics, supply chains, international transport corridor.
Annotation. The article analyzes the transformation of foreign economic activity and logistic systems in Russia in 2022–2026. Patterns of cargo flow reorientation, the role of parallel imports and digitalization are identified. Directions for supply chain adaptation are identified.
Key words. Foreign trade turnover, parallel import, logistic infrastructure, Eastern Polygon, sanctions, business adaptation, supply chains.
Annotation. This paper examines the key trends in the evolution of post-release customs control in the Russian Federation in 2022–2025. It demonstrates the transition from control at the declaration stage to post-release control, which is driven by the implementation of a risk-based approach, digital platforms, and interagency cooperation. The authors propose a model of continuous customs control that integrates traditional post-release procedures with monitoring and post-customs audit elements. Practical recommendations are provided regarding legal regulation and the development of digital infrastructure.
Key words. Customs control after the release of goods, post-control, risk management system, customs monitoring, digital twins, mobile groups, economic security, Federal Customs Service of Russia.
Annotation. The new realities of regional development provide a solid foundation for the growth of logistics in Armenia and the region, the creation of new jobs, the expansion of international freight transport and transportation infrastructure, and the development of economic relations between EU countries, the EAEU, and countries in the Asia-Pacific region, and will ensure peaceful relations, business development, and interethnic and scientific-educational ties in the future. However, it is also necessary to take into account the risks and potential economic conflicts among the countries of the region and to make the necessary forecasts and conclusions.
Key words. Logistics, Armenia, region, transit, freight transport, transportation, infrastructure.
