Title: Comparative Legal Analysis of Consumer Protection Laws in Russia and Foreign Countries Abstract: This article aims to provide a comparative legal analysis of the consumer protection laws in Russia and selected foreign countries. The study examines the key provisions, enforcement mechanisms, and effectiveness of these laws in safeguarding consumer rights. By analyzing the similarities and differences between the legal frameworks, this research aims to identify best practices and potential areas for improvement in consumer protection legislation. Introduction: Consumer protection laws play a crucial role in ensuring fair and transparent transactions between consumers and businesses. These laws aim to protect consumers from unfair practices, misleading advertising, and substandard products or services. This comparative analysis focuses on the consumer protection laws in Russia and selected foreign countries, with the objective of identifying strengths and weaknesses in the legal frameworks. Methodology: This study utilizes a comparative legal analysis approach, examining the relevant legislation, case law, and scholarly articles from Russia and selected foreign countries. The research primarily relies on publicly available information and secondary sources, including academic journals, government reports, and reputable legal databases. Findings: 1. Key Provisions: In Russia, the primary legislation governing consumer protection is the Law on Protection of Consumer Rights. This law establishes consumer rights and obligations, regulates product safety, and provides mechanisms for resolving consumer disputes. In foreign countries, consumer protection laws vary, but they generally cover similar areas, such as product safety, advertising standards, and consumer rights. 2. Enforcement Mechanisms: In Russia, consumer protection is primarily enforced by the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor) and the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS). These agencies have the authority to investigate consumer complaints, impose fines, and initiate legal proceedings. In foreign countries, enforcement mechanisms differ, with some countries relying on dedicated consumer protection agencies, while others assign enforcement responsibilities to multiple regulatory bodies. 3. Effectiveness: The effectiveness of consumer protection laws depends on various factors, including enforcement mechanisms, public awareness, and the legal remedies available to consumers. In Russia, while significant progress has been made in recent years, challenges remain in terms of enforcement and consumer awareness. In some foreign countries, consumer protection laws are more robust, with well-established enforcement mechanisms and a higher level of public awareness. Conclusion: This comparative legal analysis highlights the similarities and differences between the consumer protection laws in Russia and selected foreign countries. While Russia has made significant strides in strengthening consumer protection legislation, there is room for improvement, particularly in terms of enforcement mechanisms and public awareness. By studying the best practices from foreign countries, policymakers in Russia can consider implementing measures to enhance consumer protection and ensure a fair and transparent marketplace for all.
