Relevance of integration within the Union State of Russia and Belarus is practically challenged by nobody. However, in practice this integration goes rather slowly. From our point of view, one of the reasons of this situation is inattention to the circumstance that in 27 years of Post-Soviet development in Belarus, as well as in all former Soviet Union (including the Baltics) emerged different economic models. Let’s emphasize, all of them are related to market economy, but have a number of differences in mechanisms of management, structure of property, social policy.Country economic models are not a new object of research. Nevertheless, in relation to Belarus there are just a few such works. Authors tried not only to specify the essential moments of the Belarusian economic model in this article, but compare it to economic practices of the states of the Baltics, first of all Lithuania, Latvia.
