President of the Russian Federation D.Medvedev

Hello, friends. Today we will talk about such a hot topic for Russia as corruption. The phenomenon that has swept the world has not bypassed our country. The complexity of the problem is discussed today at the highest level.

Various measures are being taken to resolve. Along with the law on the fight against corruption, there are other normative acts, in particular, national plans developed for two years, presidential decrees, etc. For the same purpose, special committees, agencies, and councils have been created in the country.

This article will focus on such a structure as the Presidential Council for Combating Corruption. What is the history of its creation, what goals does it pursue, who is included in the composition, how are decisions made? Let's try to answer these questions.

How it all began

The federal anti-corruption law was adopted in Russia less than 10 years ago, in 2008. However, the struggle against the phenomenon that engulfed the country after the collapse of the USSR began much earlier. Back in 1992, the country's first president, Boris Yeltsin, issued a decree on the fight against corruption, which announced a ban on government officials from engaging in entrepreneurial activities.

From the moment Vladimir Putin came to power in 2000, a systemic opposition to this phenomenon began. In the absence of a law, the President created the Anti-Corruption Council. Speaking about the importance of establishing this advisory body, Putin explained that the Council would identify the causes and conditions for corruption and build a policy to counteract it.

However, in 2007 this presidential decree on the Council became invalid. Instead, in 2008, a new Presidential Council was created to combat corruption. The state at that moment was headed by Dmitry Medvedev.

This body operates to this day, being an important link in the fight against corruption.

Tasks and structure

The name of the Council essentially denotes its main goal - combating corruption. Its tasks include:

• First, the development of proposals to the president.
• Secondly, coordination of activity of regional and municipal bodies.
• Thirdly, control over how the activities outlined in the National Anti-Corruption Plan are carried out.

Recall that the plans are adopted by presidential decree for every two years - the current one is defined for 2016-2017.

The composition of the Council determines what decisions it will take and what proposals it will submit to the president for consideration. To date, this body includes 29 people.

It is headed by the president of the country, he also claims who exactly is on the council. The structure has its own presidium, its numerical strength is 17 people. Today, it is headed by the head of the Presidential Administration, Anton Vaino (until August 2016, Sergey Ivanov was the chairman).

Among the members of the Council are the Chairman of the Accounts Chamber Tatyana Golikova, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika, member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation Anatoly Kucherena and others. The Council includes the FSB, the Investigative Committee, the Constitutional Court, the Ministries of Internal Affairs and Justice , Supreme Court.

Members of the council participate on a voluntary basis, decisions are made at meetings. Each meeting is documented in minutes.

Experience, personal files, reports

In order to have clearer information about the activities of the council, we can briefly describe what specific issues are considered at meetings.

In August, for example, members of the presidium heard a report from the Minister of Education and Science, Olga Vasilyeva. She told what kind of anti-corruption work is being carried out in institutions subordinate to the ministry. She also presented printed materials published at universities on a given topic.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin shared his experience in organizing work in financial structures that excludes conditions for corruption. The presidium also considered several personal cases of high-ranking officials, whose activities were seen as a so-called "conflict of interest" - one of the signs of corrupt activities.

Earlier, at a meeting of the presidium, examples of compensation for damage by persons convicted of corruption and fines applied to them were considered.

As part of the implementation of the activities of the National Plan, the issue of cooperation with GRECO (an organization established by the Council of Europe) in matters of solving cases of bribery of foreign officials and combating this phenomenon was considered.

Recall that in January 2016, Vladimir Putin took part in the council, who spoke to its members, talking about what has been done in the country to combat corruption, what is the situation with this negative phenomenon, and also outlined measures to combat it in the near future. Particular attention was paid to the seizure of assets located abroad.

Who else joined the fight

According to the president, the activity of the council allows you to quickly and effectively address issues of combating corruption. It can be noted that in Russia this is not the only structure fighting the evil that has gripped the country. We are not talking about the Prosecutor General's Office or internal affairs bodies and courts.

In addition to the presidential council under consideration today, the National Anti-Corruption Committee, the Anti-Corruption Agency in the Russian Federation, and others are also involved in this issue.

Public organizations are being created that aim at such a fight, there is a hotline at the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation, there is even a media outlet, the so-called "First Anti-Corruption Media".

The presence of all these structures, the wave of detentions of representatives of the bureaucratic elite, law enforcement agencies, the adoption of national plans - all this is evidence of the fight against corruption in our country. Although it is still too early to talk about real results.

To what extent, in your opinion, is the Council under the President working effectively. Is it possible to overcome corruption in our country.
