Impact of corruption on the economic and environmental security of the state

Abstract

Corrupt activities in the Russian Federation have reached the point where national security is under threat. Corruption creates obstacles to the economic growth of the state, slows down various transformations not only in the economic, but also in the social sphere of society, worsens the standard of living in the Russian Federation, undermines public confidence in public authorities, and reduces authority in the eyes of other countries. Theoretically, broad corrupt activities are able to destroy the norms, constitutional foundations that have developed in society and neutralize the operation of any legal system. One should not lose sight of the fact that corruption activity, due to its illegal origin, intersects with other variants of socially destructive phenomena, such as sanctioned crime, shadow economy and terrorist attacks. As a result, it can be said that corruption is a combination of various factors, a continuously growing system that threatens the state and financial security of the country, and is not an independent unit, which is an exceptional precedent of bribery of a certain person among civil servants.
