The article deals with corruption. It is viewed as a societal phenomenon. The author defi nes corruption
and analyses it in a diachronical perspective. Particular features of corruption are under the scope
of close observation. Its manifestations in different historical periods are exposed in the experience
of different generations of the Russian and Soviet people. Contemporary social ills originated in
corruption are revealed.
Keywords: corruption, societal phenomenon, politics, state governance, anti-corruptive actions.
Introduction
Russian corruption has been a struggle for
numerous generations. It comes back to previous
centuries. Russian aristocracy, a vast gathering
of men of noble birth with titles, tsars, emperors,
general secretaries and prime ministers, honest
ministers and governors have been struggling
against corruption. Great Russian poets and
writers such as I.A. Krylov, A.S. Pushkin, N.A.
Nekrasov, N.V. Gogol, M.E. Saltykov – Schedrin,
as well as, actors of various artistic genres made
a bigger contribution into that fi ght. Artists
also have been implicated in depicting immoral
behaviour.
In effect, it seemed that massive attacking

the corruption would have
in
its
disappearance from the Russian people’s life and
professional activity.
Attitudes towards corruption in a historic
perspective could be seen as the struggle against

its manifestations. One can compare them with the
poisoned crown of the antiar, the tree of poison.
Its deepest roots are spreading suckers just after
the stem having been cut. The greatest Russian
poet, A.S. Pushkin, described antiar growing in
a hot and dry desert. He visualized the scaring
tree as an alone and violent guard in the universe.
Corruption, in contrast, is sprouting on a fertile
soil, in the centre of civilization.
Point of view
Corruption appeared to be an unavoidable
societal phenomenon within the institutionalized
state structures and formations. The reason is: no
one attempted either to erase or to eradicate its
preconditions.
Despite the intention to get rid of corruption,
it is still alive. What is more, its vitality can be
easily explained by the fact that multi-layered
structures of all kinds of offi cials are interested
