2 Analysts: Russia's Entrenched Corruption Defies Solutions: voa45.cfm?cfid= &cftoken= &jsessionid=de301b8da159d426af074d683f Russians are talking about adopting one party Chinese model. General Description In recent years, stories about Russia in the western media have been full of references to terms such as "Mafia," "Corruption," "Money Laundering" and "Election Fraud." Most western observers (and most Russian citizens as well) seem to agree that corruption is the single most important obstacle that undermines efforts toward Russian reforms. New Russian President Dmitriy Medvedev recently outlined fighting corruption as the top priority for his government. At the same time the Transparency International ranked Russia s corruption as 147 th worst in the world ( out of 180 reported). We will review a number of Russian and foreign sources to confirm whether the situation in Russia is truly as dire as multiple sources suggest. There have been claims, for example, that "The Russian mob controls everything in the country, including nuclear weapons, " and that "Recent elections have been stolen by corrupt politicians close to the ruling elite." Whether these claims are true is not as simple to establish as it might seem. This course will help students understand what has transpired in recent decades in the Russian economy and in Russian politics. To comprehend the current situation, it is necessary to study the organization, the institutions, and the power structure of Russian society. An understanding of these forces, as well as some important insights into how the Russian economy now works, will shed light on the important role of the Mafia within modern Russian society This class will focus on Mafia and Corruption as integral parts of Russia s transition to democracy. We will consider a lot of fascinating examples of criminal and Mafia related activities in Russia. We will watch parts of a movie that is Russian equivalent of the Godfather. We will also look at theoretical aspects of how corruption can undermine democracy. Finally, we will look at other countries around the world that are undergoing transition to democracy, and we will compare situation with crime and corruption in these countries to Russia. Requirements and Grading: Students are expected to attend classes, discussion sessions ( if any), read the required materials ( see below ) and follow ( on a daily basis) news reports which concern Russia's current state of affairs. A special attention should be paid to the reports, which concern Mafia and corruption. There will be a number of in-class quizzes (multiple choice type answers) and two midterm essays to test for the above requirements. Students are expected to actively participate in in-class discussions. Grading Policy: 1. Class attendance and in-class quizzes ( 56% of the grade ) The quizzes will be in the form of multiple choice type questions covering in-class lectures and discussions. There will be a total of 7 quizzes ( each with multiple choice type questions). There will be also attendance taken ( randomly). A missed attendance will result in 3% deduction. Each quiz is worth 8% of the grade. 2. Two in-class midterm essays ( first one worth 24% of the grade and the second one is worth 20% ). There will be two in-class midterm essays during the fifth and tenth week of class. A week before the exam I will distribute a set of 12 questions to study. We will randomly select three of them for the exam. Student will have a choice of any two of these three, Communication: Due to large size of the class, all of the routine issues should be first addressed to a GTF. I will be available for students during my regular office hours on Monday I will NOT be communicating with students via , unless there is an emergency. Organization
