What will the future bring? What is in store for us?
My personal prediction is generally positive though it lacks certainty and confidence. My expectations are largely based upon my own readiness and willingness to work hard, to employ my creativity in all spheres. The basic apprehension of mine is the coming political and legislative permissiveness in Russia. In my understanding, the reason for such a pessimistic prediction is the absence of support from the government. The changes taking place in the upper circles prove the instability in the country and the possibility of the final mess in the society.
Development always brings something new but the innovations do not always lead to the better. Taking some particular case, I would like to share my concern for the future of our legal system. You may ask why I take this example. The answer is evident because the legal system defines the whole order of economic and political life in a country. It can be likened to a house footing.
The Civil Code is especially going to change. The Chart of the Conception of civil legislation modernization presupposes drastic and at times unaccountable amendments. The legislator has mapped out the essential changes to the text of the Code and these changes will affect nearly every article of the legal document. The adherents of the Chart are probably less aware of the outcomes the amendments will bring about. The civil circulation will become more complicated; some additional procedures (which in fact are dubious in its initial design) are introduced. For instance, they suggest the introduction of the obligatory notarially certified transactions as the supplementary verification of their legitimacy before the state registration of real estate. The valid question is about the purpose of the changes. Almost every lawyer would agree the national legislature should follow the line of simplification and easy administration but the current news refute this fair assumption.
Anyway, I would like to hope for the more favourable course of development. Our life is much more breathtaking in its unpredictability.
