Abstract: Formation of a rule-of-law state is aimed at protection of the rights of society and individuals in all spheres of life. The strife to achieve this goal should be a defining factor in economics. The shortcomings of anti-monopoly legislation previously did not allow to adapt competition regulation to the Russian economic reality. The article contains an opinion that in order to fight economic crime, humanization of criminal legislation should be aimed upon prevention of bad-faith competition of economic subjects, abusing their dominant positions. Since state plays an important role in Russian economy (unlike many Western states), many markets are monopolized by state or municipal enterprises,  or the privatized economic subjects. Based on the analysis of the shortcomings of anti-monopoly legislation, the author proposes a way to lower the level of economic crime.
