Scope

Russian competition law is not directly modeled on the law of any other single jurisdiction. It contains several rather unusual provisions, some of which were designed to meet the special concerns raised by Russia's early stage of economic transition in 1991, when the law on competition was passed. The competition process in Russia is governed by the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No 135-FZ of 16 July 2006 “On Protection of Competition”. The “Fourth Antimonopoly Package” (FAP) of 5 October 2015 which introduced the latest major amendments to the competition legislation entered into force in January 2016. A Fifth Antimonopoly Package is underway: the Bill introduced in early 2020 aims mainly at addressing the new competition challenges raised by the digital platforms. On March, 2020, Federal Law No. 33-FZ amended the Federal Law No. 135-FZ “On Protection of Competition” creating the bases of an internal compliance regime with the requirements of antimonopoly law. However, setting up a compliance system is not mandatory. 

The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) is in charge of the enforcement of the Law on the Protection of Competition (LPC).
