Abstract

In the article, methods and tools for diagnosing crisis phenomena in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, based on the example of border regions of the Baltic Sea countries and the Northwestern Federal District of the Russian Federation, were presented. Governmental measures and restrictions on the functioning of the economic subjects introduced in the border regions caused some shock and stress situation, which are of great importance for the course of the crisis conditions and the way out of the crisis. The purpose of the diagnosis is to establish a specific recognition of the research object, to provide a specific description and to formulate a final document or a conclusion about the condition of this object within a specified research completion date. In other words, the diagnosis allows the determination of the state of the research object and the development of a conclusion from these results, which can be based on indicators, coefficients, standards, in order to propose real positive changes up to the definition of the strategy and development tactics. The study uses the methods of systemic, structural, factor and comparative analysis, considering common and available parameters. A qualitative diagnosis of the object is carried out based on the algorithm and research stages. Specific problems are investigated on the basis of indicators and characteristics that are comparable in studies of corona crisis phenomena. Currently, the frontier economy is facing new challenges that test the basic mechanisms of functioning in crisis conditions. All these processes imply measures to eliminate the consequences of post-pandemic phenomena. This research can be used by the public administration units in diagnosing the processes of cross-border cooperation in the period of recovering from the post-pandemic crisis.
