The bases for antimonopoly regulation in Russia were laid as early as 1990 when the country entered the new era shifting from the command (or planned) economy to the market economy. Then current conditions created a demand for a regulatory authority to control activities of all market players. Thus the first antitrust authority emerged and adopted its first legislation – Law of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) No. 948-I "On competition and restriction of monopolism in the markets of goods".
During time the antitrust authority underwent a number of changes in organizational forms and names. Starting from 2004, the functions on preventing and terminating anticompetitive actions were assumed by the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia), and in as little as two years new antimonopoly legislation was developed. In 2006, Federal Law No. 135-FZ "On Competition Protection" (hereinafter – the Competition Protection Law) also known as "the first antimonopoly package" became effective. This marked the new page in the Russian antimonopoly regulation history.
