At the same time, it is impossible not to say that these employees had the opportunity to effectively prevent the crimes in question, provided that the period of centralized economic processes. In the course of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that in the conditions of the beginning of the third Millennium of the XXI century, these subjects of preventive influence can only implement minor measures to prevent the acts in question. On a very large scale, employees of other state bodies and commercial organizations can counteract the crimes in question. The novelty of this research is the analysis of the theoretical and organizational foundations for the prevention of crimes in the field of economic security, which are the most important element in ensuring the national security of the Russian Federation. A number of other provisions of the study are also new. The practical significance of this work is the possibility of using its basic results to improve the theoretical and organizational foundations in the process of preventing economic crimes.
