metadata.value: The article presents the results of a study of a crime under Article 169 of the Criminal Code of
  the Russian Federation, as well as the prospects for improving the legislation in order to more
  effectively protect business freedoms. In Russian criminal legislation there is a separate article
  that prohibits an official from interfering with the activities of individual entrepreneurs and
  legal entities. However, the analysis of criminal statistics shows that the existence of a separate
  article for the protection of entrepreneurs’ rights does not help to combat the existing state of
  things. This is partly due to the fact that the improvement of the regulatory environment for
  the creation of legal entities made it impractical to a commit acts prohibited by this article.
  There is also a high latency of illegal actions by officials who pressure businesses. For example,
  in Russia veiled extortion is quite common in order to force entrepreneurs to provide free
  financial assistance, from allocating funds for social purposes to providing the authorities
  with necessary items for various events. The authors note that the most important condition
  for the freedom of entrepreneurs today is the improvement of civil legislation in the field of
  social partnership between government and business. Criminal legislation is the last line of
  protection for business entities and should be as effective as possible. Outdated and cumbersome
  wording of Article 169 of the Russian Criminal Code does not meet this criterion. The
  actions of officials contrary to the interests of the service should be qualified as malfeasance by
  a public official (Art. 285, 286 of the Criminal Code), including any forms of the restriction of
  rights and freedoms of business.
