Anti-corruption policy in Russia: current state and development vector

Corruption has plagued Russia for centuries, and the convoluted Soviet bureaucracy and constant scarcity created a culture of bribery to circumvent widespread shortages of consumer goods in the USSR. Post-Soviet Russia has not been able to eradicate the well-established system of bribery and is struggling with corruption to this day. The purpose of this research paper was to explore the essence of corruption, the level of acceptance of corruption in Russia and methods of fighting corruption. A content analysis has been carried out, which provides a systematic overview of corruption issues. The topic has been a hot topic for many years, with the state taking dozens of measures every year to eradicate corruption, finalizing draft laws, and optimizing the use of state and municipal property, but corruption is still one of the most debated issues. And despite all efforts, the level of corruption remains high.
