Can corruption be contained in Russia?

In many parts of world regimes occasionally resort to cheap politics by pretending  to attack corrupt people only to strengthen the power of the rulers. Soviet Union tired and collapsed, China claims fighting corruption to save the nation from eventual disasters and wreckages – just like countering aftermath of monstrous climate change and nuclear threats. .

Ultimately, there is no country which is corruption free, as corruption keeps swelling.

Is Russia’s strong man, President Vladimir Putin trying to consolidate his power by anti-corruption moves or i she serious about a corruption free Russia? This question doesn’t haunt the world at large because Russians, like other others, cannot be corruption free by nature. Putin is, then, pushing his authoritarian style of functioning.

Vladimir Putin on on 5^th December signed into law legislation ordering state officials to prove the legality of their spending and that of their spouses and underage children over a three-year period.

The law, which comes into force on Jan. 1, 2013, will oblige government officials to provide evidence that their spending doesn't exceed their incomes. If their spending is judged to exceed their incomes, their purchases will be confiscated by the courts, according to a statement on the Kremlin website. The bill complements legislation already on the books requiring officials to declare their incomes; a measure that critics have said is ineffectual without a requirement to declare expenses as well.

The legislation comes amid a wave of corruption scandals in various government bodies, including the alleged embezzlement of almost $100 million from Defence Ministry-controlled agencies. Earlier this month, Putin cited that investigation in dismissing Anatoly Serdyukov from his post as defence minister.

While the law covers the president, it doesn't affect members of his administration, which includes some former governmental ministers. Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov, surprisingly, also announced that the legislation eventually might cover the presidential administration as well.

So, it means corruption is everywhere in Russia affecting even the Puitn’s own office.  How can he end that?

India willingly promotes corruption and shields the corrupt guys from any real punishment. Manmohan regime is extra cautious to let the rampant corrupt India continues to operate that way for some obvious economic reasons as suggested by multinationals and transnationals that control and regulate the regime and parliament.  

What exactly does Putin aim at?
