General theoretical and cross-sectoral issues of anti-corruption: current state

Corruption is one of the main threats to the national policy of the Russian Federation, impeding socio-economic development, the effective functioning of public authorities and the formation of civil society. Corruption control should be carried out as a result of a systematic approach aimed both at identifying offenses and eliminating the causes of their occurrence. The main provisions of national legislation aimed at combating the socio-legal phenomenon under consideration, as well as the norms enshrined in international legal acts, are studied. It is concluded that the Russian legislation aimed at countering corruption activities is an interdisciplinary institution, as a result of which it is based on the norms of various branches of law, in particular, criminal, administrative, civil and others. One of the features of countering corruption in the Russian Federation is the use of the most stringent repressive measures, which is expressed in legal formalization and standardization. The trends in tightening measures of criminal and administrative legal means, sanctions for violation of restrictions and prohibitions, as well as strengthening control over ongoing anti-corruption activities are highlighted. As a result of the comparative legal analysis, it is noted that the corruption control in the Russian Federation is carried out through mandatory norms enshrined in criminal and administrative legislation, which is due to the complex corruption situation in the state.
