Re: Russia (seems like we're doing countries)

[(Anonymous)]

So every TV show I watch that visits Russia in some way always seems to point out that the system is really corrupt. To what degree is that actually true? Is bribing really that common?

Re: Russia (seems like we're doing countries)

[(Anonymous)]

It depends on what you mean by "the system". On the level of traffic police work, for example, bribing is an everyday occurrence, the most normal thing in the world. It is hard (albeit possible) to drive a car and not give money to traffic cops.

On the higher levels, things start to get complicated. Among prison officials, for example, bribing is very common. The red-tape workers, on the other hand, accept money... like, almost never.

Among the actual dignitaries? Yes, yes it is. This is where a lot of budget money goes. Sochi-2014, for one, is a golden mine for those who want some extra funds.

tl;dr: yes. But, apart from the traffic police thing, it is usually not very noticeable from the point of view of a layman.
