The mechanism for corruption counteraction has been formed in the Russian Federation in accordance with international standards. The authors of the article believe that for more than 10 years of monitoring the current practice of corruption counteraction, it is time to critically assess the effectiveness of both the entire mechanism and its individual measures. On the example of one of the measures to prevent (prevent) corruption – independent anti-corruption expertise – the authors, one of whom is an independent expert, put forward a hypothesis about its extremely low effectiveness (the number of experts is steadily decreasing; their activity, despite the made efforts, is low; the quality of expert opinions leaves much to be desired, etc.; the doctrinal interest in this topic is also decreasing) and they suggest to abandon it altogether. The capabilities of civil society institutions in corruption counteraction will not be limited, since the functions similar to independent anti-corruption expertise can be filled with the help of existing institutions of citizens’ appeals, regulatory impact assessment, law enforcement monitoring. There are a lot of critical studies on the topic of combating corruption, both in Russia and abroad, but the overwhelming number of experts suggests supplementing the “package” of anti-corruption measures, and the authors could not find any convincing proposals for rejecting any of the obviously ineffective measures as the independent anti-corruption expertise. |
