Abstract
The reform of the Russian civil legislation is far from being completed. A new wording of Chapter 4 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is an important, but by no means final milestone of transformation of the civil legislation launched in the Russian Federation. The author considers reasons and legal consequences of enshrining in the legislation of companies’ classification into public and non-public, atypical versions of business entities (special-purpose company, joint-stock company of employees), identifies Russian corporate law development trends. Besides, the author demonstrates a negative influence of Anglo-American approaches to the Russian legal system, different understanding of basic legislative and doctrinal structures of the corporate law in continental and Anglo-American legal families. As a result, the author substantiates impossibility of isolated and chaotic adoption of legislative solutions from a foreign legal system built on different legal regulation principles. However, the articles makes a reservation stating that entrepreneurial corporations under Russian law should not be understood as a synonym of business entities, and the corporate law is not an element of contractual law, but a sub-branch of Russian civil law.
