The article deals with the problems of creating anti-corruption policy in the Russian Federation,
revealing the core of control over the effectiveness of actions which is anti-corruption evaluation standards. It is
concluded that while the country is only guided by world standards, the policy of the government is dominated by
the initial stage of understanding the available opportunities. Civil society, due to the lack of development of the
institution of accountability, also did not realize the need and the possibility of monitoring the activities of the
government in this direction. Accordingly, in relation to the Russian Federation it is more correct to talk about anticorruption measures, not standards.
The authors of the publication have four goals. The first is to describe and to compare the four
technologies of public administration: regimes, standards, monitoring and measures as ways to assess the quality of
Government work (by areas). The second is to determine the structure of standards and then to identify the relative
successes and failures of the Russian Federation in comparison with common evaluation system. The third is to
describe the measures taken by the government, showing the slow nature of reforms, but still the presence of
positive changes in them. Fourth aim is to show and to analyze the perception of corruption (and perception of anticorruption measures) depending on gender, age, income and education of respondents on the basis of sociological
research (surveys for 2017 and 2018).
