Abstract
The problem of political corruption is of particular relevance for criminological science. The processes of formation and functioning of power, due to their high social significance, have long been subject to negative corruption influences, and therefore they need a special protection mechanism. The subject of the research is the legal regulation of the ban on illegal financing of political activity, as well as its reflection in local regulations of commercial organizations. The article examines one of the forms of political corruption as illegal financing of political activity by officials of commercial organizations. The author used the dialectical method of cognition, as well as the system-structural, formal-logical and other methods of scientific cognition. To study the practice of regulating the ban on illegal financing of political activity at the level of local regulations of commercial organizations, the author monitored the official websites of 250 largest Russian companies. The monitoring of the content of local regulations showed that commercial organizations have not yet developed a unified approach to regulating the ban on illegal financing of political activity. In addition, in more than 50% of the surveyed commercial organizations, this prohibition is absent in local regulations. One of the reasons for the low level of anti-corruption activity of organizations is the lack of motivation of companies to conduct business with integrity. The results of the study allow us to conclude that it is necessary to take a set of measures aimed at stimulating commercial organizations to consolidate in their local regulations a ban on the financing of political activities, as well as measures aimed at limiting the possibility of committing corresponding corruption offenses. Keywords: corruption, political system, elections, electoral process, campaign finance, electoral fund, anti-corruption standard, commercial organization, business, prevention of corruption.
