The Development of the Constitutional Basis ofCorruption Counteraction in Russia: Reflections on the ModernRussian Procurement System

Abstract

The problem of corruption counteraction in Russia in the past few years, according to the degree of its significance, without doubt may be ranked among the most important national objectives. The efforts of public authorities at all levels, which were exercised both in the normative regulations in this sphere and in the actual execution of anti-corruption programmes, should be noted in this regard. Thus, during the previous eight years in Russia a vast array of critically significant regulatory and policy acts, which are designed to form a climate of social intolerance against corruption, has been adopted, starting with the special ‘Corruption Counteraction Act’, which has codified the legal basics of corruption counteraction, ending with the National Anti-Corruption Plan, which was approved by the President of Russia.
