The Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia (FAS) (Russian: Федеральная антимонопольная служба России, ФАС России) is the federal-level executive governmental organ that controls the execution of the antitrust law and related areas.

The FAS was established by President Vladimir Putin through Decree #314, which was issued on March 9, 2004.[1] The agency was led from its inception in 2004 to 2020 by Igor Artemiev.[2][3] He has since been replaced in this capacity by Maksim Shaskolsky, the former vice governor of Saint Petersburg.
