Abstract: In this article Bashlakov-Nikolaev examines administrative legal measures on competition protection, i.e. methods undertaken by antimonopoly authorities to prevent disturbance, restraint and elimination of competition pursuant to the Competition Law. The author offers different classifications of measures undertaken by antimonopoly authorities in the sphere of competition protection with relation to violations of antimonopoly legislation. The author divides all measures of administrative enforcement into the following two groups:  1. Measures of administrative responsibility (administrative sanctions), i.e. measures of administrative enforcement undertaken in response to violations,  2. Measures of execution of competition legislation (coercive measures), i.e. measures of administrative enforcement undertaken in response to performance or non-performance of one's obligations in the sphere of competition protection. These two major groups of measures have subgroups. Measures of administrative responsibility include measures on  restoration of responsibility (execution of orders issued by the antimonopoly authority); penal liability measures in accordance with the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation; measures on withdrawal of revenues to the federal budget when such revenues have been obtained as a result of a violation of antimonpoly legislation as it is set forth by the competition protection law; measures on involuntary division or detachment of profit or nonprofit organizations.

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to provide a theoretical substantiation of the possibility of reaching the maximum possible public efficiencies of government expenditures, investments and taxes in a perfect condition of a balanced open economic system. The model offered by the author of the article can always bring to the maximum possible rate of economic growth in a 'perfect' environment ('zero loss' of public effecies of government expenditures and investments) that allows to substantiate the main directions of the relevant macroeconomic (fiscal, tax and budgetary) policy in developed countries and global economy in general. The main methods used by the author includes observation, collection of facts, modeling, abstraction, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction and division of economic theory in micro - and macroeconomics. The author's model overcomes the barrier of an imaginary lack of quantitative constants in the economic system. The model naturally explains the ups and downs of the respective real economies, unexplainable from the point of view of a considerable part of ideological theorists and practical economics. Under all circumstances economists are bound to become the guardians of public foresight in economic matters.

Based on the author of the article, it is important to balance public and private interests in the laws of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation governing the reclamation of property from illegal possession (recovery).

These suggestions nade by the author about expanding the circle of persons entitled to commitment of vindicatory actions do not look like something impossible.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the problems of the theory and practice of corporate law, in particular, invalidity of major transactions. The Federal law of September 30, 2013, No. 260 limited the list of grounds for considering a transaction to be invalid. Moreover, the range of circumstances to consider transactions to be invalid has been significantly expanded. Thus, the legislator has reduced the list of persons who may challenge a transaction, defined a prohibition on challenging transactions in the absence of real violations of rights and law-protected interests of complainants. In her research the author has applied general research methods (comparison, analysis, synthesis, abstraction and generalization) and specific research methods (formal dogmatic method, comparative law method, etc.). The author concludes that due to the innovations in the civil legislation,  there will be significant changes in law-enforcement practice regarding the activity of joint stock companies making major transactions. The aforesaid act should contribute to the stability of civil transactions and, consequently, to considerably reduce the number of large transactions recognized as invalid by courts of arbitration.
