ABSTRACT
A new version of Russia’s National Strategy for Countering Corruption and the National Plan for Countering Corruption in 2010–2011 was introduced with great fanfare by the Kremlin in April 2010. These two integrated anti-corruption documents fine-tuned a similar plan and strategy signed into law by President Dmitry Medvedev early in his first year as president. At that time he made curbing corruption a personal crusade, warning then, and in the 2010 edict, that corruption threatened Russian security, handicapped economic development, and damaged the country’s image abroad.
