Russian regions are distinct in area, population, resource, scientific and industrial capacity, level of social and economic development. In order to contrast the regions, many of different methods and ratings were developed. These methods use set of values or definite indicator by which the ranking take place. In this regard it is interesting to examine Russian regions from the point of attitude of regional budget expenditure side to population.

It is worth noting that the larger half of RF territories has a subsidized status. Their treasury more or less depends on inter-budget transfers from the federal centers. However, this aspect is not important here, but if you advert to actual figures, you may come to several conclusions. Thus, it is expectable that the first places are taken by Far North regions (which are full of natural resources and the basis of our export) and by economic and political centers – Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

The leader of the rating is Chukotka Autonomous Area (with the population of just over 50 thousand people) has the budget that can be comparable to the budget of Kostroma region, where the population is 650 th. people. The largest amount of means that falls to one resident in remote areas - 359,5 th. RUR per man, whereas in Kostroma region this figure is 3 times as little - 33,1 per man.

Despite such a high level of budget expenditure side per man, the life itself in the North regions is very expensive. Besides, the harsh weather conditions and underdeveloped infrastructure lead to high migration outflow of the most mobile groups of citizens (except for the Tyumen region).

Moscow has taken the 8th position by the expenditure level of budget per one resident with the indicator 136,3 th. RUR per man, Saint Petersburg – the 10th (86,4 th. RUR per man).

The lowest indicators were fixed in Ulyanovsk region 25,6 th. RUR per man and Bryansk region - 24,7 th. RUR per man. But if we take into the rating the budgets of the new regions – Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, set before their annexation by Russia, they turn out to be outsiders. Significant donations from the federal budget are to remedy the situation this year.

In accordance with the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, there are several restrains for the official names of legal entities. Thus, the name of the legal entity must not coincide with the full or abbreviated name of the State government bodies, or include the word Russia and its derivatives.

The choice of the name of the organization is restricted not only by the imagination of its founders, but also by the laws of the Russian Federation. All the restrains that the company’s name must correspond are clearly spelled out in the Civil Code. In such a way the name of the legal entity may not include:

• full or abbreviated official names of the Russian Federation and foreign countries, as well as derivatives of such names;
• full or abbreviated official names of the federal agencies, state government bodies of the territorial entities of the RF and agencies of local self-government;
• full or abbreviated names of international and intergovernmental organizations;
• full or abbreviated names of public associations; designations detrimental to the public interest, as well as the principles of humanity and morality;

However, the inclusion of the words ‘Russian Federation’, ‘Russia’ and its derivatives is possible in agreeing on the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. In order to do this, you must present documents acknowledging that the organization is the major taxpayer or has its branches in more than half of territorial entities of the RF. Market leaders and companies with the state participation more than 25% in the full ownership also conform to requirements of the Ministry of Justice.

In accordance with the present of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated 20.09.13 №CA 4-7/16976 the registering authority may not refuse to register the new company, if its name coincides with the name of the already existing company. In other words, the new organization may take a name OOO "Samsung". Technically, the Civil Code disallows to use the corporate name of another organization, but according to the article 1474 of the Civil Code, only the owner has the right to demand its change. You should seize the court to do this procedure. So, it is possible to forbid the use of a similar name written in lowercase letters instead of capitalized ones or similar names, but with the other form of ownership.

These issues are controlled by the applicants themselves, as the registration authorities do not check the coincidences of corporate names. Generally, no one pays attention to the same names of the companies. However, it may happen that the name of another company has been patented. As a result, it is necessary not only to change the name of the enterprise, but also to right to the possessor the inflicted damages.

To avoid the conflicts, the uniqueness of the name has to be checked before the registration. The information system Globas-i can help you with that. The daily updated system contains information about 8.7 million companies of Russia and its financial history for the last 20 years.
