From modern times to soviet times to imperial times russia has always had a reputation for being very corrupt. Why?
>>18224565Because they're snowniggers
>>18224565Corruption has always existed – its oldest cases date back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.Apparently, it's an old Russian tradition.
Russians probably think the same about western countries
>>18224565>Why is russia corrupt?Sweety, it's called lobbying
>>18224568dilate troon
>>18224565Low trust and conformism.If you live long enough thoroughly convinced that random passer-bys are 2 sentences away from scamming you and your neighbours are one doorknock away from stealing from you, it will eventually make you bitter. Just bitter enough to take corruption for granted. So much so that when it's your turn to be a nurse, you won't even challenge that the patient needs to slide you a 20 to get his free medicine. 15 roubles go to the doctor anyway.In conformist countries with high trust (Norway, Japan), this gets corrected by the overall faith in the system. In individualistic countries with low trust (Spain) matters are much worse. But to be low trust and conformist is the losing hand when it comes to corruption. The entire Eastern Bloc suffers from this.
>>18225254>So much so that when it's your turn to be a nurse, you won't even challenge that the patient needs to slide you a 20 to get his free medicine. 15 roubles go to the doctor anyway.What an idiotic statement. It's always amusing when anon talks with such confidence about the subject he knows nothing about.
>>18225575>he knows nothing aboutI only know what my Ukrainian babushka lived and told me. Which was this, along with stories from some soviet medical university. I'll make sure to relay to her that someone online disagreed.
>>18224565>implying russia uniquely corrupt>ignoring that all post-soviet states had similar problems>also ignoring that corruption is just how the system works when state and oligarchy mergeWestern low corruption just means the bribery is legalized (lobbying, super PACs, regulatory capture). Russia has a different state-business model, not inherently more evil.
>>18225595>my Ukrainian babushkaYou could've just told that you are jewish. Anyway USSR with its chronic shortage of everything doesn't represent modern Russia. Again try at least to learn about the subject.
>>18225620>chronic shortage of everything, nurses take bribes to buy... nothing>USSR corruption stopped and Russian corruption began, totally unrelatedThanks for the education, I'll do better next time.
>>18225629>>chronic shortage of everything, nurses take bribes to buy... nothingShortage doesn't mean there's nothing to buy>>USSR corruption stopped and Russian corruption began, totally unrelatedRussian corruption is the same corruption as in the rest of the world>Thanks for the education, I'll do better next time.For some reason you decided to went full retard
>>18224565There have been attempts to curtail it but the Russian Federation inherited a personalistic legal tradition from the USSR which inherited it from Imperial Russia (Putin was even proposing reforms to the Russian constitution that would see the Duma empowered and the office of the president weakened before COVID and the invasion of Ukraine). Generally societies where law can be flexibly applied by authorities on a case by case basis are prone to abuse of power and corruption generally increases as people become more powerful. Putin could possibly be the wealthiest man on Earth by some estimates despite a fairly modest income and no obvious signs of external revenue for instance.Russian society as a whole struggles with a deep alienation from civil politics and a really low trust relationship with each other - anyone who knows Russians as people knows most of them love their thick relations like friends and family just like anyone else but they often have a really hands off, distant, even cynical relationship with their own state and their thin relationships are really weak. Its not really something unique or intrinsic to Russian culture, if anything Russia just suffers from a really extreme version of the same disease of social atomisation that is spreading in the West. In a general way this disinhibits the abuse of other people in your society simply because you are going to feel less solidarity with them. Russian culture does however have a fairly distinct nihilistic and strength worshipping bent to it, which just means this abusiveness to others is heightened.
>>18225650>Russian corruption is the same as everywhere else... except soviet RussiaMy bad, my bad.
>>18225671>>Russian corruption is the same as everywhere else... except soviet RussiaFree market capitalist Russia doesn't have the same issues as central planning soviet economy, retard
>>18225681How lucky for those 1 in 10 capitalist hospitals.Look, Sanya, if you believe Russia maintained its ever-present corruption while completely re-structuring it, that's your cope of choice. It didn't happen in Ukraine, it didn't happen in Belarus and chances are good Russia didn't pull it off either with its soviet KGB leadership still in power. I hit a nerve and I'm sorry you felt bad. If you have insights to share about this totally new structure of corruption, I'll be happy to hear it. If not, shut up and go to sleep.
>>18225696>got humiliated>decided to double down on his retardationNext time learn about the subject, faggot. Might save yourself from another embarrassment
>>18225704I was about to ask why you're trying the same cope again but I see you were just fixing the grammar. Well done. You're not bribing your English teacher for nothing.
>>18225710>same cope again>You're not bribing your English teacher for nothing.Ironic
>>18225724I can't hear you, Shurik, 20 roubles might fix it tho
>>18225736>from ranting about low trust and conformism>to repeating his embarrassing example over and over againAbsolutely mind broken
>>18225744Didn't mean to embarrass your country, sorry.
>>18225746You embarrassing no one but yourself. No dignity whatsoever.
>>18225756You almost convinced me.
Btw he's triggered over >>18225254 because Russia today has nothing to do with Russia 40 years ago.
>>18225765>russia 40 years ago
>>18225575Que es lo que no has entendido de como funciona la corrupción, mi estimado colega del sur global?
>>18225629Black market anyone? Come on.
>>18225254>>18225595>Ukrainian babushkaJust another butthurt hohol
>russian libtards benefit from claiming russia is corrupt because that's their justification for wanting power>non-russian libtards benefit from claiming russia is corrupt because that's their justification for holding power and demanding regime changeas shrimple as that.i live in the uk and honestly it's probably way more corrupt than my eastern european shithole. look up the history of what boris johnson did with the valneva vaccine or his holocaust memorial shit, lol. obvious back room deal bullshit.
