  • Summary

    The chapter investigates how the CPSU legacy affects the subnational variation in the level of corruption in Russia. It shows that Russian regions with a higher share of CPSU members in their population in the past are characterized by higher corruption; the effect is present for both demand for bribes and willingness of the population to pay bribes (as well as acceptance of bribery as a social phenomenon). This legacy of the CPSU, again, is mediated by the persistence of the Soviet-era bureaucracy.
