In Russia, corruption is endemic. Each new leader of the country strives to fight against this affliction, but the new administrative structures, designed to wipe out corruption, get transformed each time into mere money-making machines. Does this mean Russia has no future?
Vladimir Soloviev answers this question by describing the problem as ‘Russia’s national pastime’ and explaining why in a country where everyone is supposedly fighting corruption, coruption still reigns supreme.
Soloviev’s in-depth research into the structure of corruption in Russia, which is accompanied bu specific examples and historical references, does more than just provide an outline of the core features of this evil phenomenon. The author puts forward a way of dealing with this plague as a personal journey that all Russian citizens can undertake, in order to ward off corruption in their country.
