Problems of improving the antimonopoly legislation in modern Russia
The article is devoted to the study of problems of improving the antimonopoly legislation and the development of a competitive environment in modern Russia, which is an urgent problem in connection with the need to regulate activities on commodity markets in the context of economic transformations. Russia's antimonopoly legislation should prevent the abuse of dominant position by economic entities on the market, and also promote healthy competition, which is a priority factor in achieving effective development of the country's economy as a whole and ensuring its competitiveness in the world arena. The authors come to the conclusion that one of the shortcomings of the application of Russian antimonopoly legislation in practice is the semantic incorrectness of some of its articles, the lack of certainty of key concepts, and the inclusion of a wide range of norms addressed to holders of power which violates the constitutional principles of equal legal protection of forms of property and protection competition, deforms the status of the state in civil circulation and generates an imbalance in the correlation of public and private interests and administrative and market mechanisms. The main methods for achieving results are formal legal, systemic, functional, statistical, logical methods of analysis and synthesis.
