Is a ‘Greater Europe’ FTA a rational interest of the Russian Federation? Analysing the effects of a common economic space from Lisbon to Vladivostok is the aim of this work. Analysing the effects and the impact on key stakeholders involved in Russia, the work gives valuable insight into the feasibility of such an agreement. Not only allows it to estimate the probability of the formation of such an agreement, but it also sheds light on potential adjustments that could be undertaken in order to make the formation of this agreement more likely. The key stakeholders affected by this hypothetical agreement are detected and their potential gains and losses together with their influence on political decision making assessed, as well as societal constraints incorporated.
