Abstract

In 2022, the Russian Federation and Russian Federation’s residents (citizens and legal entities) faced large-scale restrictive measures (sanctions) that were introduced by foreign states and international organizations. This became the basis for the introduction by the Russian state of retaliatory measures of influence (counteraction). The system of such measures of influence, although they have a certain normative basis, is nevertheless only being formed; it includes, among other things, individual private law institutions. Among them is the creation (by establishment) of a Russian legal entity by decision of state bodies (executive power or courts) on the basis of the property of foreign organizations (including the property that is the basis for the activities of officially registered branches or representative offices of foreign legal entities). Previously, the current civil (as well as other sectoral) legislation did not provide for such actions; we can say that we are witnessing the formation of a new set of regulations on the creation (establishment) of a legal entity on the basis of the property of an existing legal entity, using partially elements that are more characteristic of reorganization (universal succession); in part, one can even state the following: what is called “creation of a legal entity” in legal acts is in reality a significant change in a foreign legal entity, i.e., an analogue of the reorganization of a legal entity (in terms of consequences). In the presented article, the author for the first time analyzes the currently available regulations governing the creation of a Russian legal entity based on the property of a foreign legal entity; based on the results of the study, conclusions are drawn about further directions for the development of legal regulation.
