Korchagin, A.G., Ivanov, A.M. The competition policy and legal regulation in the sphere of anti-monopoly relations in Russia.

Abstract: The article presents an opinion that in order to fi ght economic crimes and to humanize the criminal legislation, this legislation should be aimed towards preventing unfair competition from the dominating economic subjects. Unlike in the Western states, in Russia the state plays an important role in the economy, many markets are monopolized by state or municipal enterprises, or the privatized economic subjects. In order to effi ciently fi ght crimes in the sphere of anti-monopoly activities it is reasonable to continue improving the existing system against cartels, other anti-competition agreements, and pre-mediated actions. In order to achieve these goals, fi rst of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the mechanism of effi cient investigation of the cartel agreements, secondly, to amend the legislation on operative and investigative activities, and, thirdly, to deal with the legal gap, which does not allow to free from criminal responsibility a person, who has acknowledged his guilt during the anti-monopoly investigation.
