Abstract

Roman Panov (who was consequently arrested), the top managers of Rostelecom, and the former topmost officials from the RF Ministry of Agriculture. The active coverage of these scandalous developments by the mass media indicates that the authorities are eager to boost their popularity by initiating an ostentatious anti-corruption campaign. According to public opinion research agencies, the approval ratings of the authorities were on the decline throughout the second half of 2012.

Keywords: Russian economy, social and political situation
