Abstract
The results of our studies in 2002–2004 demonstrate that the business community was placing a greater emphasis on the demand for law and that preferences were being expressed to conduct business in a legal and civilized anner (Razvitie Sprosa 2003; Yakovlev et al. 2006). One indicator of this demand is membership of entrepreneurs in a number of nongovernment organizations, such as guilds, unions, and organizations that are provided for in Article 121 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (RF) for the purposes of coordination of their entrepreneurial activity as well as representation and defense of common property interests.
