The model of Polish civil society development in sport is based on three phases: the first one consists in creating rules by international organizations; in the second one public authorities introduce legal regulations based on previously developed organizational standards; in turn, the third phase relies on checking to what extent these rules and regulations have been internalized by their addresses. The indicator for measuring the level of development of civil society in sport was the knowledge of the legal concept of doping among members of Polish national teams. I recommend the paper DOI: 10.33896/SPolit.2023.70.7

Say NO to doing buisiness with Russia! This post addresses the crucial topic of loss of intellectual property rights when partnering with Russia. It highlights how this issue is ingrained in the nation's mentality and widely accepted by Russian society. An alarming example is the Russian state patent agency granting a patent to a russian brand Melitopol Cherry, essentially stealing a heritage plant from Ukraine, a plant that was named after a Ukrainian city where it has flourished for centuries. #IntellectualProperty #Russia #BusinessEthics
