Putin manipulates and promotes corruption in the Russian Federation to reassure his opponents - isw

Thus, the Kremlin head continues to promote institutional corruption in the Russian Federation through legislative manipulations. The experts of the Institute of War Study (ISW) in the next report reached this conclusion. It is reported that the new law will allow Russian parliamentarians to publish their income in anonymous form where there are no personal data. At the same time, the legislative norm will extend to municipal deputies.

However, there is one nuance - deputies of municipal and regional level, who exercise their powers on a non -permanent basis, are obliged to report on their income and property only immediately after election. And then - only in the case of large agreements exceeding the total income of the deputy and his wife in the previous three years.

According to one of the authors of the amendments, the chairman of the State Duma Committee on the legislation of Pavel Krasheninnikov, parliamentarians will continue to make declarations. But on the Internet will not be available personal data, but only generalized statistical information. The Kremlin speaker Dmitry Peskov, commenting on this initiative, stated that "a special military operation is introducing its specifics for declarations.

" In addition, he said that the anti -corruption body continued to work and continue to check the data of the declarations of deputies and officials. The ISW experts drew attention to the fact that on December 29 last year, Putin signed a decree releasing the public declaration of income of all Russian officials, servicemen and law enforcement officers who are directly involved in the war against Ukraine.

"These two decrees are likely to be an attempt by the Kremlin to pacify political players who constitute the internal base of Putin's support, and will probably continue to promote the institutionalization of corruption in Russia," experts summed up. We will remind, on January 5 on the official website of the Kremlin head was published by Vladimir Putin's decree on "Christmas truce" on the front.
