Corruption or bribery is one of the most serious problems of the Russian state apparatus. It leads to a violation of the law, hinders the development of the economy and causes irreparable damage to the morality of society. There are several generally accepted ways to combat corruption.

In 2012, the National Anti-Corruption Committee of the Russian Federation submitted four methods of combating corruption in the country to the public. Several national parties supported them at once, and now these measures are increasingly being put into practice. The first of these consists in the careful selection of personnel for admission to the civil service. The recruitment of employees to high posts "in communications", on a paid basis, and other illegal or unethical grounds is excluded. Only citizens with appropriate higher education and work experience, well-established in previous jobs are allowed to public service.

The next method of combating corruption is to control the expenses of officials, which excludes both bribery and the possibility of discreetly wasting funds illegally obtained. For this, the annual declaration of income and property of senior officials is carried out, as well as verification of the reliability of the relevant declarations. Amounts and sources of income are compared with an increase in property of both officials themselves and their immediate family. During the verification of data and figures, the actual ownership and use of property is also established, since registration of real estate and vehicles for other persons becomes quite common.

Also, the rights of civil servants to keep personal secrets and inviolability in certain situations are gradually excluded from Russian legislation. This allows us to simplify the activities of bodies that carry out operational investigative activities upon verifying the activities of officials, their personal connections, monitoring their telephone conversations, etc.

Finally, the last possible measure to prevent corruption is ongoing prevention. Investigative bodies should more often conduct covert checks on the activities of public servants for their involvement in bribery. For example, under the guise of citizens, owners of enterprises and other officials, operational employees visit the official place of service and offer to solve certain problems by transferring money or valuable objects to government officials. At the same time, a hidden survey of this process is being conducted. In a special order, these measures are applied to persons who have already been involved in bribery before.
