Is system of higher education contributes to spreading of corruption in Russia?
Results of secondary analysis of the data received in the course of quantitative sociological investigations of corruption in Russia realized by INDEM Foundation in 2001 and 2005 are described. The secondary analysis of data is aimed at revealing of higher-school education impact on attitude towards corruption and involvement in illegal activity. The fact that at 2001-2005 young people at the age of 18-25 with higher education were more tolerant towards corruption than those who hadnt it is argued. Specific for that period levelling of attitude towards corruption between young people at the age of 18-25 with higher education and without it is substantiated. For young people at the age of 18-25 with higher education it was quite rational at that period to use illegal methods for certain problems solving along with low significance of rational arguments for anti-corrupt behavior.
