Countering corruption and other crimes of an economic nature continues to be one of the topical areas in the fight against crime in modern Russia and in the world. The activities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the all-Russian anti-corruption system are multi-dimensional. This is due to the fact that, in accordance with the Federal Law “On Police” and the Regulation on the Ministry approved by the President of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia is one of the main subjects of crime prevention and control, including its corruption component. In exercising its authority in this area, the Ministry interacts with other state authorities, state bodies and local governments, civil society institutions and citizens. The aim of the work is to study the legal and organizational basis of the activities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the field of combating corruption. The tasks to be accomplished in the work include research and analysis of the relevant regulatory legal framework, hierarchy and functions of the system of internal affairs bodies specializing in countering corruption throughout the country and in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, identifying and analyzing factors favorable to the country and in the structure of the Ministry. The study used a set of methods of scientific knowledge: general philosophical, general scientific and special legal methods, including a specific legal analysis of the regulatory framework and organizational framework for combating corruption in modern Russia. The author sees the possibility of a qualitative change in the effectiveness of the fight against corruption in solving the remaining social problems of the bulk of the country’s population (grassroots corruption) and legislatively securing repressive measures that have proved effective in world practice (top corruption).
