The article is dedicated to the Russian inter-regional competition intensity assessments. The wheat market is examined to check the unified price-setting hypothesis. The empirical data shows that the Russian grain market cannot be called harmonized as there are barriers that hamper the price gap-bridging process in the regions. The article demonstrates how the regional month-to-month price change data, transportation cost data and the interregional trade volume change data can be used to identify the trends emerged in the Russian national market development and the factors that influence the trend building process.
