Kabanov, P.A. Anti-corruption propaganda as an instrument for fighting corruption in the Republic of Tatarstan: the issue of improving the quality of legal regulation

Abstract: The article for the first time in the Russian legal science includes analysis of the issues of quality improvement of legal regulation of anti-corruption propaganda at the regional level, this type of propaganda being one of the most efficient instruments of the modern Russian regional state anti-corruption policy. The author provides critical evaluation of the current situation in legal regulation of anti-corruption propaganda in one of the constituent subjects of the Russian Federation – the Republic of Tatarstan. He shows the reasons for the low quality of legal regulation (underestimation of this instrument of anti-corruption policy by the stat government body, selective implementation of recommendations on its development) and makes propositions for the improvement of the situation. Among the key directions for the improvement of legal regulation of anti-corruption propaganda the author offers the following: a) to review the legal definition of the “anticorruption propaganda”; b) to form an inter-departmental working group in order to draft a normative legal act on organization and implementation of anti-corruption propaganda at the regional level, to draft, discuss and adopt this complex codified act.
