Scientific works in the theories of Finance Onlines and credit, according to the specification of the research object, are characterized to be many-sided and many-leveled.

The definition of totality of the economical relations formed in the process of formation, distribution and usage of Finance Onlines, as money sources is widely spread. For example, in "the general theory of Finance Onlines" there are two definitions of Finance Onlines:

1) "...Finance Onlines reflect economical relations, formation of the funds of money sources, in the process of distribution and redistribution of national receipts according to the distribution and usage". This definition is given relatively to the conditions of Capitalism, when cash-commodity relations gain universal character;

2) "Finance Onlines represent the formation of centralized ad decentralized money sources, economical relations relatively with the distribution and usage, which serve for fulfillment of the state functions and obligations and also provision of the conditions of the widened further production". This definition is brought without showing the environment of its action. We share partly such explanation of Finance Onlines and think expedient to make some specification.

First, Finance Onlines overcome the bounds of distribution and redistribution service of the national income, though it is a basic foundation of Finance Onlines. Also, formation and usage of the depreciation fund which is the part of financial domain, belongs not to the distribution and redistribution of the national income (of newly formed value during a year), but to the distribution of already developed value.

This latest first appears to be a part of value of main industrial funds, later it is moved to the cost price of a ready product (that is to the value too) and after its realization, and it is set the depression fund. Its source is taken into account before hand as a depression kind in the consistence of the ready products cost price.

Second, main goal of Finance Onlines is much wider then "fulfillment of the state functions and obligations and provision of conditions for the widened further production". Finance Onlines exist on the state level and also on the manufactures and branches' level too, and in such conditions, when the most part of the manufactures are not state.

V. M. Rodionova has a different position about this subject: "real formation of the financial resources begins on the stage of distribution, when the value is realized and concrete economical forms of the realized value are separated from the consistence of the profit". V. M. Rodionova makes an accent of Finance Onlines, as distributing relations, when D. S. Moliakov underlines industrial foundation of Finance Onlines. Though both of them give quite substantiate discussion of Finance Onlines, as a system of formation, distribution and usage of the funds of money sources, that comes out of the following definition of the Finance Onlines: "financial cash relations, which forms in the process of distribution and redistribution of the partial value of the national wealth and total social product, is related with the subjects of the economy and formation and usage of the state cash incomes and savings in the widened further production, in the material stimulation of the workers for satisfaction of the society social and other requests".

In the manuals of the political economy we meet with the following definitions of Finance Onlines:
"Finance Onlines of the socialistic state represent economical (cash) relations, with the help of which, in the way of planned distribution of the incomes and savings the funds of money sources of the state and socialistic manufactures are formed for guaranteeing the growth of the production, rising the material and cultural level of the people and for satisfying other general society requests".
"The system of creation and usage of necessary funds of cash resources for guarantying socialistic widened further production represent exactly the Finance Onlines of the socialistic society. And the totality of economical relations arisen between state, manufactures and organizations, branches, regions and separate citizen according to the movement of cash funds make financial relations".
As we've seen, definitions of Finance Onlines made by financiers and political economists do not differ greatly.
In every discussed position there are:

1) expression of essence and phenomenon in the definition of Finance Onlines;

2) the definition of Finance Onlines, as the system of the creation and usage of funds of cash sources on the level of phenomenon.

3) Distribution of Finance Onlines as social product and the value of national income, definition of the distributions planned character, main goals of the economy and economical relations, for servicing of which it is used.

If refuse the preposition "socialistic" in the definition of Finance Onlines, we may say, that it still keeps actuality. We meet with such traditional definitions of Finance Onlines, without an adjective "socialistic", in the modern economical literature. We may give such an elucidation: "Finance Onlines represent cash resources of production and usage, also cash relations appeared in the process of distributing values of formed economical product and national wealth for formation and further production of the cash incomes and savings of the economical subjects and state, rewarding of the workers and satisfaction of the social requests". in this elucidation of Finance Onlines like D. S. Moliakov and V. M. Rodionov's definitions, following the traditional inheritance, we meet with the widening of the financial foundation. They concern "distribution and redistribution of the value of created economical product, also the partial distribution of the value of national wealth". This latest is very actual, relatively to the process of privatization and the transition to privacy and is periodically used in practice in different countries, for example, Great Britain and France.

"Finance Onlines - are cash sources, financial resources, their creation and movement, distribution and redistribution, usage, also economical relations, which are conditioned by intercalculations between the economical subjects, movement of cash sources, money circulation and usage".
"Finance Onlines are the system of economical relations, which are connected with firm creation, distribution and usage of financial resources".

We meet with absolutely innovational definitions of Finance Onlines in Z. Body and R. Merton's basis manuals. "Finance Online - it is the science about how the people lead spending `the deficit cash resources and incomes in the definite period of time. The financial decisions are characterized by the expenses and incomes which are 1) separated in time, and 2) as a rule, it is impossible to take them into account beforehand neither by those who get decisions nor any other person" . "Financial theory consists of numbers of the conceptions... which learns systematically the subjects of distribution of the cash resources relatively to the time factor; it also considers quantitative models, with the help of which the estimation, putting into practice and realization of the alternative variants of every financial decisions take place" .

These basic conceptions and quantitative models are used at every level of getting financial decisions, but in the latest definition of Finance Onlines, we meet with the following doctrine of the financial foundation: main function of the Finance Onlines is in the satisfaction of the people's requests; the subjects of economical activities of any kind (firms, also state organs of every level) are directed towards fulfilling this basic function.

For the goals of our monograph, it is important to compare well-known definitions about Finance Onlines, credit and investment, to decide how and how much it is possible to integrate the Finance Onlines, investments and credit into the one total part.

Some researcher thing that credit is the consisting part of Finance Onlines, if it is discussed from the position of essence and category. The other, more numerous group proves, that an economical category of credit exists parallel to the economical category of Finance Onlines, by which it underlines impossibility of the credit's existence in the consistence of Finance Onlines.

N. K. Kuchukova underlined the independence of the category of credit and notes that it is only its "characteristic feature the turned movement of the value, which is not related with transmission of the loan opportunities together with the owners' rights".

N. D. Barkovski replies that functioning of money created an economical basis for apportioning Finance Onlines and credit as an independent category and gave rise to the credit and financial relations. He noticed the Gnoseological roots of science in money and credit, as the science about Finance Onlines has business with the research of such economical relations, which lean upon cash flow and credit.
Let's discuss the most spread definitions of credit. in the modern publications credit appeared to be "luckier", then Finance Onlines. For example, we meet with the following definition of credit in the Finance Online-economical dictionary: "credit is the loan in the form of cash and commodity with the conditions of returning, usually, by paying percent. Credit represents a form of movement of the loan capital and expresses economical relations between the creditor and borrower".

This is the traditional definition of credit. In the earlier dictionary of the economy we read: "credit is the system of economical relations, which is formed while the transmission of cash and material means into the temporal usage, as a rule under the conditions of returning and paying percent".
In the manual of the political economy published under reduction of V. A. Medvedev the following definition is given: "credit, as an economical category, expresses the created relations between the society, labour collective and workers during formation and usage of the loan funds, under the terms of paying present and returning, during transmission of sources for the temporal usage and accumulation".

Credit is discussed in the following way in the earlier education-methodological manuals of political economy: "credit is the system of money relations, which is created in the process of using and mobilization of temporarily free cash means of the state budget, unions, manufactures, organizations and population. Credit has an objective character. It is used for providing widened further production of the state and other needs. Credit differs from Finance Onlines by the returning character, while financing of manufactures and organizations by the state is fulfilled without this condition".
