Abstract

International sanctions and the unfolding economic crisis in the world cause the necessity to improve the efficiency of the Russian state’s functioning. Corruption leading to the misuse of resources available in the country acts as a traditional negative factor affecting the quality of the state’s performance of its functions. Most studies on the anti-corruption measures consider such mechanisms and procedures from the point of view of narrow administrative or criminal law norms, and in this regard, it is methodologically important to consider these mechanisms as interacting and being of a universal constitutional and legal nature. The main idea of the work is to analyze the text of the RF Constitution highlighting the provisions, which, in their totality, enshrine the anti-corruption mechanism existing in the state at the constitutional level. The author expresses the concepts of corruption and the anti-corruption function of the state; concludes about the reality of current actions of appropriate authorities and procedures in combating corruption. The study identified that many anti-corruption measures in the Russian Federation have a constitutional nature. The author analyzed the content and correlation of the concepts of corruption, anti-corruption mechanism, and anti-corruption function of the state. The study considers the amendments to acts of a constitutional nature made at different times, which allows tracing the progressive development of anti-corruption policy in the Russian Federation. The author concludes that one of the main goals of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation is the forming-up of constitutional anti-corruption mechanisms. The study suggests that the state performs a special anti-corruption function, which is currently undergoing the processes of its objectification and formalization.
