Emblem of the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the premier antitrust body in Russia

Antitrust issues in Russia are regulated by one law: Federal Law No. 135-FZ, “On the Protection of Competition", which entered into force on 26 October 2006.[1] The “3rd antimonopoly package”, which entered into force in January 2012, is indicative of a general trend of liberalization of antimonopoly regulation.[1] Indeed, its stated aim was to bring Russia more in line with European competition regulations.
