Abstract

The major political events of November were: the dismissal of Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdiukov; the investigation launched against his close associates in the top echelons of the RF Ministry of Defense; and a number of sensational denouncements of corruption by the VIPs – including former Deputy Minister of Regional Development 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.
