| Аннотация | The anti-corruption policy cannot be effective if a society has a high
tolerance rate toward corruption, and authorities have no clear and consequent
anti-corruption strategy. A systematic analysis of corruption as a social phenomenon
suggests not only the study of political, legal, socio-economic, cultural and historical
aspects of corruption but also the study of its perception in mass consciousness.
The research on the official anti-corruption policy and evaluation of its effectiveness
in mass consciousness allows for the more effective anti-corruption strategy to
develop in a society. This article offers some results from the sociological research
on the perception of corruption and anti-corruption policy in Russian mass
consciousness. This research has been carried out by the scholars from St. Petersburg
University using a telephone survey in 2014-2018. The main goal here was to describe
dominant stereotypes in the corruption and anti-corruption policy perception which
are typical in the Russian mass consciousness. The empirical research results are
indicative of a lack of significant changes in social consciousness regarding
corruption in the last decade. There is an obvious contradiction between abstract
and personal levels of corruption perception. Corruption in mass consciousness has
been perceived as a social evil on an abstract level, but on a personal one as a
functional necessity to settle private issues. |
