It provides a comparison of trends of corruption perception index in the CIS region and CEE countries and focuses on specifics of President Putin’s policies in application. The analysis questions the assumptions about informal practices and formal institutions and offers interpretations of the dependence of Putin’s regime on the ‘unwritten rules’.
