Regulation of GR and Lobbying in Russia. Status Quo or Search for New Solutions

In the past 20 years, there have been several attempts to regulate lobbying in Russia, but none of them have been successful. Today, this topic is becoming relevant again: solving current political and economic issues requires the unification of private and public interests, mutual support between business and government. Unfortunately, lobbying is often associated with behind-the-scenes influence and corruption, while public-private interaction should take place exclusively within the legal framework. Does Russian legislation contain legal foundations for such interaction? Is there a need for a special lobbying law to be adopted? Should the professional community unite into a self-regulatory organization and develop ethical standards for its work? Eduard Voytenko and Anastasia Parfenchenkova, professionals with many years of experience, unveil the secrets of Russian lobbying activities in the book "Regulation of GR and Lobbying in Russia" and not only analyze the problems but also offer specific solutions - from creating a separate law to implementing self-regulation.
