LOBBYING AS A FACTOR THREATENING THE SECURITY OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES (ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL ASPECT)

Lyannoy Gleb Gennadievich

the paper is devoted to the consideration of the issue of the history of lobbying. The starting point of the study is the charter of Vladimir Monomakh (1113), which was written by people called lobbyists in modern language. The history of the emergence of lobbying abroad is also considered. A pattern has been established between the traditions that have developed in the country and society, and the currently existing forms of lobbying activity. It is suggested that most countries, realizing the need for this phenomenon, are looking for their own ways to legalize it, trying to find a balance between transparency of this activity and its regulation. The conducted research suggests that the existing institution of lobbying abroad actually represents the interests of large businesses. The author comes to the reasonable conclusion that lobbying in the format in which it currently exists has negative consequences for entrepreneurship in most foreign countries and in the Russian Federation. This poses an immediate security threat to small, small and medium-sized businesses.
