Russian Police, Politicians Mo
Russians say police and political parties are the most corrupt bodies in the country, a poll has shown.
The Global Corruption Barometer 2005 survey was carried out by Gallup International at the request of Transparency International in 69 countries, questioning a total of 55,000 people. In Russia, 1,630 people were questioned in May 2005.
According to the poll result in Russia published on Transparency International’s website for Russia, the police force received 4.2 points out of a possible 5 for corruption. The next were political parties with 4.0, the parliament and the justice system with 3.9. Tax bodies and businesses received 3.8 points, and customs and education institutions 3.7. The church was seen as the least corrupt with 2.0 points.
The director of Transparency International’s Russian department, Yelena Panfilova, said one family had spent about $130 last year on bribes. 60 percent of the respondents bribed unsolicitedly. However, only 17 percent confessed they had paid a bribe over the previous 2 months. Over half the respondents bribed to get a service that was within their rights to receive according to the law. About half bribed to avoid problems with the authorities. About 40 percent said the corruption level had risen during the last three years and the majortiy believe it will rise further in the future.
