Abstract

The fight against corruption is one of the priorities of the State policy of the Russian Federation. There are reasons to note that it is advisable to analyze the regional details of law enforcement activities to counter corruption-related crimes through the legal and organizational ways of implementing the state’s law enforcement function. In the article the main objective is to analyze criminal law issues related to the fight against systemic corruption in Russia. In the early 90s of the twentieth century, the country replaced communist ideology with market ideology. To fulfill the objective of the study, the dialectical method of cognition of social and legal phenomena and concepts is used in their development and interdependence. He concludes that human values and moral principles have changed. There have been discussions about systemic corruption in Russia for decades. Endless conversations about corruption have become a convenient screen not only for incompetent officials. Popular with the people, the «disembarkation» of high-ranking officials creates a semblance of «movement,» although no real action is taken.
