Abstract
The historical development of multi-speed form of integration in the EAEU is considered in the article. The very formation of such an integration unit on the international stage is an indicator of a multi-speed model in which the state goes into closer cooperation in the speed that is dependent on its capabilities and interests. Hence the EAEU was formed as a result of the Eurasian integration process, which had been carried out within the framework of the CIS, the Customs Community and the Eurasian Economic Community. The necessity to adapt new functional models to deal with the challenges of new reality is highlighted. RKDF (Russian-Kyrgyz Development Fund) is mentioned as an instance of one of the mechanisms of multispeed integration, which is used in the process of integration of the Kyrgyz Republic into the EAEU. It is proposed to expand the practice of the RKDF and develop the project activities of the union within the framework of the Eurasian Development Bank and apply it on the scale of the EAEU when expanding the union or deepening the ties of its member states.
