Аннотация:This paper represents a review of comprehensive research into invasion biology done byRussian scholars for four decades. Invasion biology is a relatively new field of research focusedon the study of alien plants, their behavior in new habitats and risks they pose to indigenousspecies. It is shown that over 40 years, single finds of alien plant species have transformed into acheck-list of invasive species in Russia. The most significant invasion pathways were identified,and the rate of microevolutional changes in plant species in their secondary distribution rangewas determined. Since the most active alien species disperse without regard to national borders,international cooperation is crucial in joint studies of invasive species.
