Download or read book Putin s Kleptocracy written by Karen Dawisha and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The raging question in the world today is who is the real Vladimir Putin and what are his intentions. Karen Dawisha’s brilliant Putin’s Kleptocracy provides an answer, describing how Putin got to power, the cabal he brought with him, the billions they have looted, and his plan to restore the Greater Russia. Russian scholar Dawisha describes and exposes the origins of Putin’s kleptocratic regime. She presents extensive new evidence about the Putin circle’s use of public positions for personal gain even before Putin became president in 2000. She documents the establishment of Bank Rossiya, now sanctioned by the US; the rise of the Ozero cooperative, founded by Putin and others who are now subject to visa bans and asset freezes; the links between Putin, Petromed, and “Putin’s Palace” near Sochi; and the role of security officials from Putin’s KGB days in Leningrad and Dresden, many of whom have maintained their contacts with Russian organized crime. Putin’s Kleptocracy is the result of years of research into the KGB and the various Russian crime syndicates. Dawisha’s sources include Stasi archives; Russian insiders; investigative journalists in the US, Britain, Germany, Finland, France, and Italy; and Western officials who served in Moscow. Russian journalists wrote part of this story when the Russian media was still free. “Many of them died for this story, and their work has largely been scrubbed from the Internet, and even from Russian libraries,” Dawisha says. “But some of that work remains.”

Download or read book Empire of Corruption written by Vladimir Soloviev and published by Glagoslav Publications. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empire of Corruption is Vladimir Soloviev’s attempt to share his opinions on Russia’s ways of dealing with corruption. With a certain irony, Soloviev calls the issue ‘the Russian national pastime’, explaining why in the country where everyone is supposedly fighting corruption, corruption still rules. The author’s detailed research into the corruption structure in Russia, with concrete examples and historical references, is now available to the reader in the English language. Soloviev goes further than just talking about the basics of this evil phenomenon; the author suggests a method, a personal path each citizen of Russia may follow to avert corruption in their country. Vladimir Soloviev is a famous Russian journalist, TV and radio host and public figure. His career began after graduating from one of Russia’s main institutes of technology and obtaining a PhD degree in economics. At first, he taught science in high school, then spent two years teaching economics at Alabama State University. Upon his return to Russia, Soloviev went into business. Since the late 1990s he has been a popular host on Russian radio and television, has worked in the theatre and in cinematography, has led corporate training, and has given many lectures. Soloviev’s bibliography consists of more than two dozen titles on the hottest topics in modern Russian society.

Download or read book Implementation of International Anti corruption Standards in Laws and Legal Practices of the Russian Federation written by Dmitry Lipinsky and published by Nova Novinka. This book was released on 2020 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book deals with the review and analysis of current corruption risks and related risks. The advantage of this book is its versatility which is achieved by means of consideration of the best global and regional practices in the development and implementation of anti-corruption laws, and at the same time, the applied orientation and clear definition of the subject of research - anticorruption efforts in Russia. The book consists of three sections. Section 1 contains a general description of international anti-corruption legislation and related risks. Here, the authors discuss universal international and regional anti-corruption standards, and identify corruption risks in Russian laws. Section 2 presents the review of contemporary practice of introducing international anti-corruption standards into Russian laws. This section formulates the concept and identifies the structure and features of the implementation of international standards in Russian anti-corruption laws. International anti-corruption standards in the civil service law of Russia, in the administrative law of Russia, in the civil and criminal law of Russia are discussed. Section 3 deals with the process of implementing international anti-corruption standards in Russia's jurisprudence. The legal views of the Russian courts on anti-corruption issues are defined. The administrative practice of applying Russian anti-corruption rules in Russia through the prism of fundamental changes and the relationship to international standards is analyzed. The anti-corruption case law in Russia is analyzed. The book's target audience is scholars (legal scholars) who inquire into matters of development and application of anti-corruption standards, as well as statesmen and public officials: legislators that develop and approve anti-corruption standards, as well as law enforcement agencies (especially judges) that enforce these standards. In this book, representatives of the target audience will be able to find answers to their questions about how international anti-corruption standards are refracted (transformed) through the prism of domestic legislation, as shown through the example of present-day Russia. The Russian experience can be of some interest and prove useful in the development and improvement of the anti-corruption regulatory framework in some other countries, in particular, in developing countries of the world. Hence, this book can be used as a "road map" for the development of anti-corruption legislation in a modern state"--

Download or read book Environmental Crime and Corruption in Russia written by Sally Stoecker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental devastation, a significant consequence of industrial activity in Soviet times, continues to be a major problem in Russia. Specific problems include radioactive pollutants from inadequately monitored nuclear plants, illegal logging and wildlife poaching which have grown into hugely profitable businesses for criminal gangs, and toxic waste from unsanctioned and poorly controlled metallurgical, petroleum and agricultural chemical industries. This book presents a wide ranging assessment of the environmental problems faced by Russia and of the crime and corruption which contribute to them. It also discusses the attitude of the Russian government which seems to view environmental protection as something for rich countries, something to be postponed until Russia is on the same economic footing as wealthier Scandinavian and western European countries. It concludes, gloomily, that the problems are getting worse and that little is being done to tackle them.
Download or read book Russia s Crony Capitalism written by Anders Aslund and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A penetrating look into the extreme plutocracy Vladimir Putin has created and its implications for Russia’s future This insightful study explores how the economic system Vladimir Putin has developed in Russia works to consolidate control over the country. By appointing his close associates as heads of state enterprises and by giving control of the FSB and the judiciary to his friends from the KGB, he has enriched his business friends from Saint Petersburg with preferential government deals. Thus, Putin has created a super wealthy and loyal plutocracy that owes its existence to authoritarianism. Much of this wealth has been hidden in offshore havens in the United States and the United Kingdom, where companies with anonymous owners and black money transfers are allowed to thrive. Though beneficial to a select few, this system has left Russia’s economy in untenable stagnation, which Putin has tried to mask through military might.

Download or read book On the Corruption of Morals in Russia written by M. M. Shcherbatov and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Corruption of Morals in Russia, is the most celebrated work of the Russian historian, philosopher and publicist Prince M. M. Shcherbatov (1733-90). Written towards the close of the reign of Catherine the Great, it is half memoir, half polemic, comprising a survey of Russian history in the eighteenth century from the point of view of a moral censor, and an outspoken attack on the decline of morals at the Court of St Petersburg, written by an aristocrat of exceptional erudition and strong conservative views, who was present at the Court of Catherine II, and knew well the persons and events which he describes. The work was not published during the author's lifetime; not surprisingly, since its contents were highly treasonable. The text, which is collated from the three primary manuscript copies of the original, is the first to include all important textual variants.
