Crime groups are increasingly working with public officials in Russia at the regional, and local levels, making it difficult for those seeking to enact and enforce laws combating organized crime, according to many of the criminologists who participated in a conference addressing organized crime hosted by Yaroslavl State University and sponsored by TraCCC, with support from the US Department of Justice on 20-21 January. The current laws on organized crime are largely a result of Russia's inability to deal with this problem, according to Natalia Lopashenko, head of the TraCCC program in Saratov. Almost the only area of agreement among the scholars, law enforcement agents, and judges was that the level of organized crime is rising. Figures from the Interior Ministry suggest that the number of economic crimes, in particular, is shooting upward.

    The Arms Trade Treat and Russian Arms Exports: Expectations and Possible Consequences S Sergey Denisentsev Senior Research Fellow of the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies Konstantin Makienko Deputy Director of the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies Translated by Ivan Khokhotva Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST) is a Russian non- governmental research center specializing in the study of Russia’s military- technical cooperation with foreign states, the restructuring of Russia’s defense industry and defense procurement. This work was commissioned by the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), in the context of its project “supporting the Arms Trade Treaty Negotiations through Regional Discussions and Expertise Sharing”. Reprinted with the permission from UNIDIR. The views herein do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the United Nations, UNIDIR, or its sponsors. Introduction RESOURCE The adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) would undoubtedly affect all the leading arms exporters and importers, including Russia, which is the world’s second-biggest arms exporter. This study aims to assess the possible effects of the Arms Trade Treaty, if and when it is adopted, on Russian arms exports. To that end we are going to review the current state of these exports; look at the R distinctive features of the Russian arms export control system; and speak to representatives of the Russian government, leading Russian defense companies, and international relations experts about their expectations from the ATT. 1. Russian arms exports in 2002-2011. Export control system: current state, outlook and transparency. 1.1 Russian arms export control system Arms exports – which fall under the Russian definition of “military and technical cooperation”, along with imports – are very important for the Russian economy.
