Comparative Legal Analysis of the Antimonopoly Legislation of the Russian Federation and the United States of America
Nowadays, the need for research aimed at strengthening the state’s position in the field of antimonopoly regulation and supporting competition is of particular relevance. In view of the fact that the Russian antimonopoly legislation took the central provisions of the Sherman Act, the most significant practical and theoretical interest is its comparative legal analysis with the antitrust laws of the United States of America. The author comes to the conclusion that domestic legislation contains more stringent mandatory norms than acts of the US antitrust laws, which is expressed in lower requirements to the minimum market shares necessary to recognise a person as a dominant entity in domestic antimonopoly legislation. The author notes that strict legal regulation is not always effective. In view of the evolving economic and political situation, it is necessary to orient Russian antimonopoly legislation towards liberalisation.
