Russia is in 137th place in the place where inflammation was detected Transparency International
According to Transparency International, not only and not so much about bribes and countdowns, but about tests. The so-called monetary corruption is yesterday. In the last few select appointments of family members and friends to major positions with all the ensuing consequences.
“This is the pooling of state reserves in favor of the group, meets with officials, and the representative of state contracts is an ordinary family official, and shadow lobbying in the representative assembly and in the federal parliament,” said the CEO of Transparency in an interview with the Voice of America Russian Service. International – Russia” Ilya Shumanov.
The corruption situation in 180 countries is assessed by authoritative international organizations in points. Based on this data from Transparency International and generates its rating. It is considered to be the most objectively reflecting behavior in different states. And it is best in Denmark, just like a year ago, with the only slight difference that the risk also worsens the risk by 2 points. With the development of private institutions in Denmark, this is not surprising, experts say. Fifth place of Singapore (however, it received 2 points compared to last year), analysts explain the cult of laws in this city-state, which, coupled with a small territory, completely compensates for the authoritarian government.
Among the most notable breakthroughs and failures: Georgia moved up 4 positions, Ukraine moved up to 116th place from 122nd, Afghanistan moved up to 150th place, winning back 24 positions at once, Azerbaijan slipped down 29th places and took 157th place. Closes the ranking of Somalia.
“Achievement rating of numbers and estimates of the pre-war 2021,” Ilya Shumanov. – That is, this is a continuation of the epic associated with the pandemic. He is not talking about anything, not about large-scale attacks, not about the emigration waves that are flowing out of Russia, not about emissions, not about increased corruption risks, not about withdrawing from international conventions.”
Therefore, Russia, compared to the previous report, lost only one point and now shares 137-139 places with Mali and Paraguay (they also worsened their performance). Behind the wheel of Kyrgyzstan and owners (share 140 and 141 places).
According to Transparency International, in Russia the state apparatus most effectively saves itself during a pandemic – through subsidies to state companies, either structurally or deals with oligarchs and officials. An annual drop of 1 point seems to be not critical, but this is a continuation of at least a 10-year period, they say in Transparency International. The forecast for 2022 (data will be released only in a year) promises Russia a place somewhere in the basement of the rating. “The war will still happen,” experts say.
“Armed actions are always covered by the violation of human rights. Shumanov says. – This is the limit of freedom, military censorship and so on. And where rights are violated, corrupt practices begin to spread most rapidly.”
It is no coincidence that in the later stages of the ranking, the warring South Sudan, Syria and Somalia were impressed. They are usually classified as such Failed States, that is, countries where stockpiles have been collected with stockpiles – often referred to and instead of it – the situation is controlled by large armed groups. They themselves show up and own separate territories, not submitting to the center. The Russian PMC “Wagner” has not yet matured, but the vector of its development is quite understandable and disastrous for the same state, Transparency International believes.
“I think that in the case of observing the growth of morbidity and social life and delegation, which increase in large numbers in the companies we meet in Russia, we can also find situations where the target regions may be under the control of a structure that does not meet with the presence, available they have. institutions for the suppression, suppression of their crimes, tools for withdrawing profits from this territory, ”Ilya Shumanov reveals his forecast with the Voice of America.
