ON LEGAL SUPPORT TO COMPETITORS

Abstract

The Russian antimonopoly law which is aimed at protecting the competitors playing at the Russian market so far is far from both an ideal and the world best practices. Nevertheless, the legislation is not something stable; it is changing for the better at a rather good pace in order to take into account the best practices the developed countries have and the modern requirements. The fact that the Russian Parliament adopted the law On Protection of Competition last summer is the best proof of the above point. The law includes some rather serious innovations.
