THE STATE AS AN ENTITY THAT CUSTOM-TAILORS THE RUSSIAN BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The market is traditionally seen by the public as a scene where the private property is clearly domineering and where the private businesses are enjoying the real freedom. The article author enters the hot debate and describes the problems that are faced by the players who operate on the Russian market where the system-forming core of the forcefully established social relations is a thick bureaucratic layer whose members are well-protected and act as a self-governing omnipotent force. According to the author, it is impossible to change the situation for the better unless a new generation of people that would want to serve the Motherland and not themselves and their inner circle comes to power.
