The aim of the article is to reveal the problems of the Republic of Tatarstan’s entry into the transcontinental transport corridor, taking into account the infrastructural potential of the republic. The following factors provide opportunities for integrating Tatarstan into the global transport network: positioning the republic as a globally competitive and sustainable region with a favourable investment climate, a national tourist rating, a favourable physical, economic and geographical location, a significant share of transport services in the gross domestic product, and the availability of logistics centres and terminal and warehouse complexes. The construction of the transport corridor Europe – Western China – part of Russia – Kazakhstan – China section will allow Tatarstan to be included in transcontinental transportation. The article also touches on environmental issues, recognising the importance of people living in harmony with nature. There are about 30 settlements in the route’s area, some of them will be divided, it is necessary to consider nature conservation areas: rivers, woodlands, natural zoological (hunting) reserves and natural monuments of regional importance, emission load factor of chemical carcinogens in atmosphere and level of traffic load.
