Legal regulation of the securities institute in the context of integration of new regions of Russia

Before joining the Russian Federation, the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics already had their own, Russia-oriented, experience in legal regulation in the financial market. The Zaporozhye and Kherson regions are moving into the Russian legal field directly from the law of Ukraine. The Ukrainian legislation, focused on the law of the European Union, provides for a wider range of equity securities than the Russian one, it is also clearer and more structured, therefore, an investor in the securities market, according to the author, will feel more comfortable in the Ukrainian legal field than in the Russian one. However, Russia has a longer experience of legal regulation of modern stock market instruments and the application of relevant norms. The effective integration of new regions into the Russian legal field would be facilitated by the streamlining of legal norms in our country concerning the institution of securities.
