The aim of this article is to study the impact of sanctions and foreign policy instability on the investment potential of Russian regions. Based on an analysis of theoretical approaches to studying the investment potential of territories of various levels, it is concluded that, in the current conditions, the study of the internal investment potential of regions is most relevant. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of internal investment potential by institutional sectors, with a focus on the non-financial corporations sector. The article demonstrates that the main source of internal investment potential for the non-financial corporations sector is profit. An analysis of the dynamics of enterprise profits in Russian regions from 2017 to 2024 is conducted. It is shown that during the period of increased sanctions and foreign policy instability (2022-2024), a decrease in total profit in real terms is observed. By the end of 2024, the indicator value decreased by 22.8% compared to 2021. Groups of regions with leading growth and decline in pre-tax profits are identified. A group of regions with a negative value of total enterprise profits throughout the study period is identified. The article also analyzes the dynamics of profit concentration in non-financial corporations using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index. It shows that the indicator has shown mixed dynamics over the period under review and remains at an average level. The share of the six leading regions by profit volume is 57.1% of the total profit of all Russian enterprises in 2024, which is 4.1 percentage points higher than in 2017 and 0.2 percentage points higher than in 2021. It is concluded that profit concentration is a key factor in population concentration and economic activity in these regions.
