Abstract

The history of the origin of corruption relationships and corruption phenomena that exist at the moment in the Russian Federation are considered. It is noted that the fight against corruption has been one of the main tasks of the state from the time of Ancient Rome to the present day, and in a number of developed countries the anti-corruption system is functioning quite successfully and an atmosphere of public rejection of this negative phenomenon has been created. The reasons for the occurrence of corruption in the Russian Federation are analyzed, and the need to tighten measures to combat corruption, as well as to legislatively consolidate and introduce administrative and criminal measures to prevent and suppress corruption, is indicated. It was emphasized that a quarter of the citizens of the Russian Federation almost daily encounter obvious signs of corruption, and that at the present stage of the development of the Russian Federation, corruption takes the form of a systemic nature. Several types of corruption are designated: administrative, political, economic, domestic and elite, while it is proposed to distinguish the following types into a separate group: national and international. Analytical data on the distribution of corruption services among various branches of government is provided. The descriptions of the most popular types of corruption fraud aimed at misappropriation of funds are given. The main ways of preventing corruption crimes and ways of its implementation are presented.
