The widespread view of corruption as the cornerstone of the Russian bureaucratic machine still dominates business and cultural circles in and outside Russia. Russia wants to stop corruption. But speculations as to why corruption is endemic to the country and why all efforts to oppose it prove futile have not helped to understand the phenomenon let alone eradicate it.

The Territory of the Russian National Pastime Soloviev is exposing the country’s worst evil, digging into the Russia’s history for examples of vicious patterns and analyzing their structure.
