On the basis of a comparative analysis of the experience of the application of the doctrine in the US and European antitrust legislation it shows that the results of the application of the doctrine is largely dependent on the accepted system of law enforcement. According to the case studies author examined the Russian experience of following the principles of the doctrine when considering antitrust cases against the subjects of natural monopolies is quite successful. However, outside the infrastructure sectors effectiveness of this tool is questionable because of the high probability of errors of law enforcement.
