| Abstract: | This study deals with the last campaign against corruption in Russia. The campaign was launched at the end of 1982. One of the first areas of impact when Andropov came to power was that the Kremlin identified corruption as the countrys number one problem. Andropov had to convince the nomenklatura of his competence as the countrys new boss. Moscow plays a key role: it is the first city in which one must prove oneself as General Secretary. Corruption was more rampant in the capital than elsewhere in the Russian Union Republic and those involved were highly organised and influential. |
