Improving the efficiency of the state youth policy by a project management method (on the example of the Irkutsk Oblast)

This study addresses the feasibility of adopting the Strategy of Youth Entrepreneurship Development in the Irkutsk Oblast for the period of up to 2030 in the context of digital economy. According to relevant data, specific features of youth entrepreneurship are outlined, and the necessity of its systemic support by regional executive and legislative authorities is noted. In the context of academic discourse on youth policy, an analysis of possible directions for launching various initiatives is conducted. Areas to be considered include civic initiatives, strengthening security measures, protecting, overcoming social exclusion, information enrichment, integration of modern technologies, and support in professional selfdetermination. Such multidimensional interventions seek to expand the horizons for young people and to promote their active social, economic, and cultural integration into public life. Particular attention is paid to the importance of supporting social and entrepreneurial youth projects, which form the basis for the development of digital economy and the small-business sector in the Russian state. The research methodology included comparative-legal and historical approaches, the method of deduction and induction, and a formal-legal approach with the application of other scientific cognition methods. Additionally, the conclusion is made that the improvement of youth policy in the context of youth entrepreneurship is possible only based on a comprehensive approach. The latter implies supporting measures of the current legislation, as well as the formation of a positive public opinion on the entrepreneur image through a specialized youth community, such as a Club of young entrepreneurs.

Партнерство государства и бизнеса с использованием офсетного контракта: возможности и препятствия в развитии

The main results of the study: the signs, advantages, risks and key indicators of the use of offset contracts in Russia are systematized; obstacles in the development of partnership between the state and business on the basis of an offset contract are highlighted; guided by the possibilities of an offset contract, the trajectory of further development of partnership between the state and business is determined. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the development of the scientific foundations of the use of offset contracts at the present stage of development. The practical significance of the study is related to the possibility of using the results obtained in making managerial decisions to ensure the effective development of partnership between the state and business on the basis of an offset contract.

Problems of assessing the balance of economic systems

Subject. The article investigates a model of the balance of the national economic system. Objectives. The study aims at identifying the main characteristics of the balance of economic systems to create a methodology for assessing the balance of the national economic system, and factors affecting it. Methods. We employed general scientific methods of cognition. The systems approach and logical generalization enabled to develop priority areas of the proposed methodology. We also applied methods of statistical analysis of economic data, economic-mathematical methods. Results. We proposed our own methodology for distribution of economic activities by type of subsystems, based on the proposed by G.B. Kleiner model, in two versions, i.e. excluding and including exports and imports. We also offered recommendations and strategies for improving the balance of the economy, which contribute to increasing its competitiveness and sustainability in the face of modern challenges and changes in the world arena. Our model enables to assess the impact of external factors, like global economic trends, changes in the world trade and crisis situations, on the economic stability of a country and development of its industries. Conclusions. The analysis of changes in the balance index in the context of foreign trade and industries helps assess the dynamics of balance and identify factors, including the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, that may affect the economic stability and development of the country.

Russia's transition to settlements in national currencies in the context of changes in the world monetary and financial system

Aim. To determine the background and prospects of the Russian Federation's (RF) transition to settlements in national currencies in the context of changes in the world monetary and financial system.Objectives. To analyze the current state of the currency market of the Russian Federation in terms of currency structure and main instruments; to identify the reasons for the transformation of the currency market of the Russian Federation; to characterize the prerequisites for the transition to settlements in national currencies in foreign trade; to assess the prospects of such a transition and its impact on the currency market of the Russian Federation in the context of the latest trends in the development of the global monetary and financial system.Methods. With the help of general methods of scientific cognition, graphical analysis the current state, dynamics and structure of the currency market of the Russian Federation in the conditions of sanctions are considered. In addition, the article assesses the background and prospects of the Russian Federation's transition to settlements in national currencies in view of the new trends in the development of the world monetary and financial system.Results. In 2022, after the economic sanctions against Russia were imposed, the state was forced to accelerate the process of transition to settlements in national currencies with major trading partners, and the domestic currency market underwent a significant transformation. In the conditions of digitalization of the financial sphere and the development of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) , the introduction of international settlements using the digital ruble seems to be a promising direction.Conclusions. The period after the sanctions against the Russian Federation were imposed (2022) is marked by significant changes in the domestic foreign exchange market, primarily associated with the gradual displacement of world currencies (primarily the dollar) and their replacement by the ruble and renminbi. In general, this trend reflects the state of the RF foreign trade. With the reduction in the volume of the local foreign exchange market and the withdrawal of Western players, the government is taking measures aimed at preserving the potential of the foreign exchange market. A promising direction for international settlements under sanctions is through CBDC. However, the implementation of such a system will take years, during which the financial system of the Russian Federation will have to preserve its potential in isolation from Western financial markets.

Legal Aspects of Macroprudential Regulation within the EU and the EAEU

Introduction. The article examines the legal evolution of the regulation of the activities of the European Systemic Risk Board (hereinafter – ESRB) in the context of the formation of the organizational and legal mechanism of financial integration, and also assesses the reform of the legal acts in the context of building the Capital Markets Union. The paper reveals the results of comparative analysis of the legal foundations of the implementation of macroprudential policy in the EU and EAEU, identifying common and special features in the legal regulation of integration associations.Materials and methods. In the course of research, the following methods of scientific cognition were used: analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalizations, analogies and others. The methodological basis of research consist of general scientific as well as special-legal methods, including method of dogmatic analysis (interpretation of legal norms, legal and technical constructions, etc.), formal, comparative legal methods.Results of the study. The analysis of the legal basis of the implementation of macroprudential supervision in the EU and the EAEU showed a significant extent of the financial integration in the EU, as testified by the presence of a supranational body, ESRB. However, at this moment there is stagnation in the development of legal regulation of ESRB activities. In the EAEU, in its turn, despite the existence of the legal foundation of regulation, macroprudential supervision is executed by the means of intergovernmental cooperation, and not supranational regulation.Discussion and conclusion. The study showed the existence of significant differences in the legal regulation of macroprudetial supervision in the EU and the EAEU as well as it was revealed that in the absence of comprehensive supranational regulation of the macroprudential supervision in the EAEU, there is potential for the development of a respective institution in the EAEU law.

International Legal Regulation of Pension Provision of Workers of the Eurasian Economic Union Member States

Introduction. The present article examines the conditions of the formation and functioning of the pension protection system for member states’ workers of the Eurasian Economic Union. The study of pension issues in the EAEU is based, inter alia, on the review of a number of international treaties as the legal framework of the Customs Union and the Common Economic Space. In the context of this work the author has also conducted a comprehensive analysis of the provisions of the Agreement on pension provision of workers of the Eurasian Economic Union Member States dated December 20, 2019 as well as the relevant practice of the EAEU Court.Materials and methods. In the course of preparing the article, international treaties included in the legal framework of the Customs Union and the Common Economic Space in the field of pension provision for migrant workers, as well as the relevant norms of the Union law and the practice of the EAEU Court, have been studied. The theoretical basis of this work consists of the research of domestic specialists in the field of international law, dedicated to the common labor market of the EAEU. The methodological basis of the study is the following general scientific methods of cognition of legal phenomena: methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, and analogy. The special scientific methods that the author has also used in his research include formal legal, comparative legal and historical legal methods of cognition.Research results. As a result of the analysis, it has been revealed that the development and signing in 2019 of the Agreement on pension provision of workers of the Eurasian Economic Union Member States is a key step in building a pension system for workers in the EAEU countries. Despite the fact that this international treaty, which entered into force on January 1, 2021, is still standing the test of time, there is no doubt that its implementation is one of the important conditions for the successful functioning of the Union’s common labor market.Discussion and conclusion. Ensuring the free movement of labor within the framework of modern regional integration organizations is inextricably linked with providing workers with equal guarantees in the field of pension provision, as well as the protection of their acquired pension rights. It is possible that the positive dynamics of labor migration in the EAEU is due, among other things, to the transition to a qualitatively new level of legal regulation of pension provision for workers in its member states. At the same time, as follows from the analysis of the practice of the EAEU Court, the interest of states in clarifying certain norms of the Union law in the relevant area remains quite high.

Universal, Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values in the Information Security System of the Russian Federation

Introduction. The article presents an analysis of the legal and information policy of the state while preserving and strengthening universal and traditional spiritual and moral values, which is a condition for maintaining statehood and strengthening the country's sovereignty, ensuring their information security. The essence of value lies not only in its social, material, moral or spiritual significance, but also in its priority for a person or society. Values determine the order of functioning of the legal system, and traditional spiritual and moral values are their variety. Universal human values, neither the place nor the time of their origin as a concept are known, are today considered as the moral language of centuries of development of world civilization. What makes them universal are their universality, historical stability, constancy, objectivity, universality, universal recognition on a global scale, and a positive connotation with recognition in the format of the general moral principles of humanity. But, unfortunately, in the conditions of globalization, secular-rational values, consumption, and non-traditional self-expression are increasingly opposed to universal human values. Nevertheless, all universal human values necessary for the peaceful coexistence of people, nations, the formation of statehood, still undergo changes along with man, and they require the necessary protection in these processes. Particular attention is focused on the task of Russian society and the state to preserve and strengthen not just any values, but specifically and only traditional Russian spiritual and moral values. They are of key importance for saving the Russian people, preserving the unity of the country, ensuring national interests, state and public security. Spirituality and morality are described in more detail in the article, which influenced the conclusion about the need to consider traditional Russian spiritual and moral values as a legal category. When considering the information security system, the authors propose a new concept: “destructive information impact” with a description of its significance within the framework of the research topic. The main directions of measures of forms and methods of protecting human and traditional Russian spiritual and moral values in the article are called ensuring confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of information. For this purpose, numerous groups of methods are used in practice: organizational, legal and technological, as well as cryptographic, technical, hardware, and software. Since in state policy the list of threats is expanded and specified as much as possible, the article contains measures to counter them. Conclusions are drawn that in Russia, when creating managerial, information, technological, and other systems for protecting various properties of its national values, it is necessary to be a “country of project assembly,” an innovative country. The key tasks in this case for the state-civilization will be: searching and inventing ideas, turning them into achievements; reforming the semantic world of Russian culture; development of new spiritual and moral guidelines. The final part of the article formulates proposals for improving the regulatory legal framework.Materials and methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was made up of both general scientific and specific scientific methods of cognition. The work actively used methods of systemic, comparative legal analysis, special philosophical and legal research tools, drawing on the results of Russian and foreign research on issues of values and value orientations, and the formation of information security systems.Results of the study. Based on the results of the analysis, the exceptional importance of universal and domestic traditional Russian spiritual and moral values was revealed, which remain moral guidelines and are passed on from generation to generation, ensuring civil unity. To preserve and strengthen them, to prevent the main threats of destructive ideologies, systematic and at the same time comprehensive work is required, including the active improvement of forms and methods of information management.Discussion and conclusion. The conclusion is substantiated that ensuring the information security of well–known and newly emerging values for Russia is the concern of many subsequent generations. The main value orientations of Russian culture remain a strong sovereign state, the quality of statehood and a united people.

ВІДМІННІСТЬ ВІДОБРАЖЕННЯ НЕМАТЕРІАЛЬНИХ АКТИВІВ У ФІНАНСОВІЙ ЗВІТНОСТІ ЗА ФОРМАМИ МСФЗ ТА НП(С)БО НА ПРИКЛАДІ АГРАРНИХ ФОРМУВАНЬ

Introduction. Over the past ten years, significant changes and improvements have taken place in accounting and auditing, both in legislation and requirements for accounting and auditing. In particular, large enterprises should keep records under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and ideally reflect their performance in financial statements under IFRS forms. On the Balance Sheet of agricultural formations, one of the main assets is land, but since most enterprises rent it, there is a right to use land plots, which is an intangible asset. It is important for users of financial statements, who are interested in information in the field of land relations, to correctly understand the reflected names of articles and financial indicators in reporting. Problem Statement. Intangible assets are divided into different types and groups, but in the financial statements according to NAS for them there is only one article with the general title “Intangible assets.” In accordance with the requirements of IFRS, an entity has the possibility to divide types or groups of intangible assets into separate items. However, in Ukraine there is a problem of imperfection of financial reporting forms under IFRS, which requires in-depth study and wider disclosure of financial reporting items, including intangible assets. The purpose of the article is to distinguish differences between the reflection of financial indicators on intangible assets in the reporting forms under NAS and IFRS in agricultural formations and outline for users of financial statements advantages and disadvantages. Methods. General scientific methods of cognition and the study of phenomena and processes were used; statistical and economic methods of analysis - when summarizing and presenting information on financial indicators of intangible assets in reporting; comparison - when intangible assets are reflected in the financial statements under NAS and IFRS. Results. The article reflects the stages of formation of IFRS in Ukraine, focuses on the reflection of financial indicators in the NAS and IFRS reporting forms on the example of agricultural formations, their advantages and disadvantages, and characterizes the types of intangible assets. Conclusions. In the process of the research , the opinion was formed that the reflection of intangible assets under IFRS reporting is more detailed and informative than under NAS reporting.

Unilateral Sanctions under International Law and Effectiveness of Blocking

INTRODUCTION. This article discusses modern international legal concept of unilateral sanctions. The authors contribute to the emerging discussion on the qualifying of unilateral sanctions under international law.MATERIALS AND METHODS. In this study we took into account the works of both Russian and foreign scholars in the field of international economic law, as well as analyzed documents and materials of international organizations (United Nations (UN), World Trade Organization (WTO) and others) in order to assess the compatibility of unilateral sanctions with international law. General scientific methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction), special legal methods (formal-legal, technical-legal, method of legal analogy) and comparative legal method were used in the presented research.RESEARCH RESULTS. Presented analysis has shown that widely used term “unilateral sanctions” leads to abusive and inappropriate use of international legal term. Analysis of compatibility of unilateral sanctions with other types of coercive measures such as countermeasures, UN Security Council sanctions, retortions, reprisals have shown that unilateral sanctions do not fall under the meaning of all mentioned measures. In addition, unilateral sanctions should not be justified under the WTO security exceptions. The use of extraterritorial unilateral sanctions contradicts one of the fundamental principles of international law – principle of non-interference in internal affairs. Existing blocking unilateral sanctions mechanisms are not efficient enough to compensate negative effect posed by unilateral sanctions.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. Authors concluded that unilateral sanctions in most of the cases do not satisfy cumulative criteria of legitimate countermeasure. Unilateral sanctions are not equivalent to the United Nation Security Council sanctions, as there are no “checks and balances” in the decision-making process in the form of determining the degree of threat to peace and security and taking into account humanitarian exceptions. Although there is some correlation between unilateral sanctions and retortions or reprisals, retortions and reprisals posses criteria of legality and proportionality, while, unilateral sanctions are introduced at the state’s discretion without any standard. Furthermore, the authors argue that to avoid abusive use of the WTO security exceptions WTO panels have to rely on the well-balanced approach used by the Panel in Russia – Transit case. This approach shows that the context of security exception should be understood as encompassing only military and closely related to military issues and does not cover political, economic, cultural or any other interests and relations. Existing blocking mechanisms of unilateral sanctions require separate qualification under international law including compatibility with the legitimate countermeasures.

Effectiveness assessment of technical innovations in the implementation of the modern model of the agricultural sector of Ukraine

The agricultural sector of Ukraine requires fundamental changes to improve efficiency, rural development and sustainability, which is possible through the implementation of an innovative development model. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the introduction of one of the types of technical innovations - agricultural drones - in the agricultural production of Ukraine. The study uses the dialectical method of scientific cognition, analysis and synthesis, systematic generalisation, comparative analysis, rating method, and the mathematical method of calculation "solution optimisation" using Excel. The study analyses modern approaches to assessing the efficiency of individual processes, which helped to formulate its algorithm for calculating the efficiency of land cultivation using agricultural drones. At the first stage of the study, the technical advantages of agricultural drones were identified, which are manifested in increased labour productivity. The second stage of the study calculated the increase in the main crops (corn, wheat, sunflower, barley, soybeans, rapeseed, peas, buckwheat, and millet) that can be obtained as a result of the use of agricultural drones on a national scale. The third stage of the study yielded an indicator of the economic efficiency of introducing agricultural drones into agricultural production, as well as a forecast of the social and environmental effects. It is emphasised that state support for the Ukrainian production of agricultural drones in various forms (subsidies, preferential lending, leasing, etc.) will contribute to the development of innovative Ukrainian industry, which will positively affect the change in the sectoral structure of the national economy and significantly increase the country's gross domestic product. The following conclusions, suggestions and practical recommendations may be useful in developing relevant programmes and measures aimed at developing the agricultural sector of Ukraine.

Participatory budgeting in Russia in conditions of economic instability

Subject. The article considers theoretical and methodological aspects of participatory budgeting development in Russia. Objectives. The aim is to substantiate the effects of using the participatory budgeting under economic instability. Methods. The study draws on general scientific methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, and analogy), and special methods of cognition (comparison of theoretical and practical material, expert method, systematization, and classification). Results. Changes in methodological aspects of budget planning significantly affected the implementation of budget policy. Budget planning is influenced by internal and external factors, and by entities with which public legal entities have to interact at the subnational level. The paper focuses on financial aspects of participatory budgeting, like the total amount of funding for participatory budgeting projects, the average cost per project, the number of funded projects, sources of funding. I investigated options for including participatory budgeting in the budget process of Russian regions and municipalities and identified two main ones used by public legal entities. Conclusions. The study substantiates why participatory budgeting is advisable to apply in conditions of economic instability and uncertainty. It highlights the effects of the development of participatory budgeting practices and specifics of their implementation at the municipal level. The findings can be useful for public authorities, local governments, and those involved in participatory budgeting.

Digitalization from the Perspective of the Regional Community

Relevance. Currently, digitalization processes and the introduction of new technological innovations in Russian society lead to a restructuring of not only economic but also social relations, thereby predetermining both new opportunities and new risks. However, the degree of influence of these risks on individuals and society, their positive and negative effects in the scientific community have not yet been sufficiently formulated.The purpose is to identify the attitude of the regional population towards the digitalization of society and risk factors associated with the introduction of digital technologies into the life of society.Objectives: to analyze the manifestation of the digitalization process and its risks in the perception of the regional community; explore the degree of influence of digitalization risks on the life of society.Methodology. The study uses general scientific methods of cognition of social phenomena: structural-logical analysis and methods of theoretical generalization ‒ to clarify concepts and construct research conclusions; sociological methods for obtaining empirical data.Results. The population of the regional community has an understanding of the digital society, digitalization processes and various manifestations of risks in the digital society. Transformations in the digital sphere can bring catastrophically large-scale changes in society, and can transform not only the surrounding reality, but the person himself and the world around him.Conclusions. In modern digital society, the probabilistic manifestation of risks is not fully identified and their impact on the life of society is not assessed. Digitalization should be aimed at creating advantages (conveniences) in various aspects of everyday life and providing every citizen with equal opportunities to access services, information and knowledge provided on the basis of information and communication technologies.

Reform of Decentralization of Power in Ukraine under Conditions of War: Legal Regulation, Management Features and Directions for Improvement

The purpose of the article is to reveal the reform of the decentralization of power in Ukraine under conditions of war. In the concept of the territorial community of Ukraine, ancient European traditions of Ukrainian local self-government and modern standards of the European Union have been successfully embodied. The productive interaction of citizens, the state, and international organizations contributed to formation of Ukrainian territorial communities. It has been proven that the personal income tax is one of the main sources of filling community budgets. For 9 months of 2022 local budgets of the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine received 16,364,124 Ukrainian hryvnias (UAH) as personal income tax, which is 34% more than for the same period in 2021. Methodology: The specifics of the research subject, as well as its purpose and tasks determined the use of general scientific and special methods of scientific cognition. Stabilization and restoration of territorial communities in Ukraine require the introduction of a new three-level effective and transparent system of strategic planning: state strategy — regional strategies — community strategies. For restoration and stimulation of regional development strategizing should contain definition of the following four functional types of territories: territories of recovery, poles of economic growth, territories with special conditions for development, territories of sustainable development.

Vectors for improving development strategies of Russian enterprises in the context of prerequisites for transformation of the Russian economy

The article provides an analysis of changes in trends in the Russian economy based on macroeconomic indicators (gross domestic product per capita, inflation rate, unemployment rate). The key factors are the historically low unemployment rate (due to demographic trends in society) and the growing number of individual accounts on the Moscow Exchange. These factors force Russian enterprises and companies to change the extensive type of economic growth to the intensive one. The purpose of the study is to highlight main trends of the changes in the economy (on the basis of the analysis of macroeconomic indicators) and possible options for responding to them for domestic enterprises. The work used universal and general scientific methods of cognition, such as dialectical, analytical, and statistical methods. The result of the analysis of the Russian macroeconomic indicators is presented, basic trends that can have a significant impact on the strategies of enterprise development are identified. It is proposed to use elements of the ESG (environmental, social, governance) approach or process-flow model as ways to respond to them. The main tasks that enterprises face are outlined along with the criteria for choosing the direction of improvement.

Improving the Legal Regulation of Indirect Judicial Jurisdiction in the Eurasian Economic Union

Free cross-border circulation of court decisions is a necessary condition for successful integration. One of the main obstacles that states face in creating legal regulation in this area is the problem of the admissibility of foreign judicial jurisdiction, or, in other words, indirect judicial jurisdiction. The article discusses options for solving this problem.Aim and tasks. To propose options for improving the legal regulation of indirect judicial jurisdiction in the Eurasian Economic Union.Methods. This work uses both general scientific methods of cognition: analysis and synthesis, and specific scientific ones: formal logical, formal legal, comparative legal, and the method of legal forecasting.Results. Improving the legal regulation of indirect judicial jurisdiction in the Eurasian Economic Union is possible through the conclusion between the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union of an international treaty establishing unified criteria for direct judicial jurisdiction and conditioning the acceptability of the jurisdiction of a foreign court on compliance with these criteria. In the event that the competence of a foreign court is not based on the jurisdictional criteria contained in an international treaty, it is proposed to provide for the possibility of recognizing a foreign court decision if two conditions are met: first, there is a close connection between the court and the dispute or approval of the jurisdiction by the defendant; the second is compliance with the rules on exclusive judicial jurisdiction established in the national legislation of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union.The author also proposes an option for improving the legal regulation of indirect judicial jurisdiction at the national level, both in the Russian Federation and in other member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. In particular, the option of introducing provisions on indirect judicial jurisdiction into national legislation is being considered, which would condition the acceptability of the competence of a foreign court by observing the criterion of a close connection between the dispute and the court that issued the judicial act, or the approval of its jurisdiction by the defendant, and non-contradiction with the criteria of exclusive judicial jurisdiction.Conclusions. The Eurasian Economic Union needs to create an effective mechanism for the recognition of foreign court decisions, which can be achieved, first of all, by improving the legal regulation of indirect judicial jurisdiction.

Deprivatization: current judicial practice

The article considers the legal framework and trends of judicial practice in claims for the recovery of previously privatized assets. The purpose is to identify risk factors for the deprivatization of enterprise property, as well as circumstances affecting the prospects of possible litigation. The authors used such research methods as logical, theoretical-prognostic, formal-legal, system-structural and legal modeling methods. The methodological apparatus consists of the following dialectical techniques and methods of scientific cognition: analysis, abstraction, induction, deduction, hypothesis, analogy, synthesis, typology, classification, systematization and generalization. The authors analyzed relevant legal cases within the context of legal regulation and doctrinal approaches to the interpretation of civil legislation. It is concluded that violation of the privatization procedure means the absence of the will of the public owner to property alienation. As a result, the public owner has the opportunity to claim property even from a bona fide purchaser. Shares in the authorized capital of companies, and individual objects (buildings, structures, movable property) are subject to deprivatization. The basis for the claim of property in favor of the state is most often the privatization of property classified as federal property, with the approval of only regional authorities as well as the privatization of property in respect of which prohibitions and restrictions are established. It is stated that the courts reject references to the expiration of the limitation period, at the same time, judicial practice regarding the application of objective limitation periods has only begun to form. Considering the specifics of the participation of public legal entities in civil turnover, the authors conclude that it is necessary to clarify the established practice of applying law by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.

Unfair competition: the current state of criminalization

The subject of the study is the state of criminalization of unfair competition in the Russian Federation. The article examines the relationship of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with the Federal Law "On Protection of Competition", which contains prohibitions on manifestations of unfair competition; the elements of crimes provided for in art. 128.1, 146, 147, 180, 183, 185.3 and 185.6 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, when analyzing objective and subjective signs of which elements of certain forms of unfair competition are seen, as well as law enforcement in the designated area; static data reflecting the current situation of identifying facts of unfair competition in the activities of the antimonopoly authority, law enforcement agencies, as well as aspects of interaction between the antimonopoly authority and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in the field of countering market manipulation and the misuse of insider information as separate manifestations of unfair competition. The methodology of the research is based on the provisions of the doctrine of materialistic dialectics, as well as a systematic approach, in particular, general scientific and private scientific methods of cognition were used – methods of system analysis, logical, comparative, formal dogmatic method, method of legal forecasting and classification. The novelty lies in establishing the fact of the correlation of crimes provided for in art.128.1, 146, 147, 180, 183, 185.3 and 185.6 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, with the prohibitions of the Federal Law "On Protection of Competition" based on the analysis of objective and subjective signs of the listed crimes, as well as the practice of sentencing in this area, in substantiating the possibility of using articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to combat manifestations of unfair competition, but also to improve criminal law norms in order to unify their content with the prohibitions of a special law. The conclusions are that the above analysis of the signs of the elements of crimes provided for in art. 128.1, 146, 147, 180, 183, 185.3 and 185.6 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, indicates a certain degree of their compatibility with the prohibitions of forms of unfair competition contained in the Federal Law "On Protection of Competition", although they need to be improved. Appropriate legislative changes are advisable due to the public danger of unfair competition, the level of which may be no less than that of cartels recognized as a threat to the country's economy.
