Russian Concern Over Corruption Rises


According to a recent survey released by The Levada Center, the percentage of Russians dissatisfied with corrupt authorities has reached its highest level in 13 years. Twenty-nine percent of respondents told pollsters that they were outraged by authorities' practice of thinking of themselves and their pockets before their official duties, up from twenty-two percent from a similar survey last year. Forty-five percent of Russians also expressed doubt in the government's ability to deal with falling incomes and the increased cost of living.  The annual survey was conducted in 43 Russian regions and had 1,600 respondents.
