The corruption control should be transformed into economic crimes control with adequate legal consequences. Otherwise, there is a pending devaluation of public politics and state position which, in its turn, can lead to secularization of the state.

I do not exclude any forms of self-organization of citizens, which, for example, render legal redress for the victims of corruption. However, such activity will be to no avail, if it is not backed by profound reforms: adoption of more transparent laws, reforms of state administration, etc.

The corruption of top administration, which is on lips of every politician during political crises, dispirits the public and desacralizes the state as an. The majority of citizens, in its turn, begin to stick to principles which can be expressed by the formula "I live on the territory occupied by the state and I wage guerilla war against it.”

The poll shows that corruption of courts is usually spoken about by citizens who have nothing to do with the courts and whose impressions about judiciary system are based on information from media or socializing with friends.

The corruption cannot be stopped without development of political and economic competition. This and the level of political responsibility are in inverse proportion to corruption, and in Ukraine there were always problems with responsibility.

The corruption is a systematic and organized bribery. The bribe is an object of corruption, which tends to differentiate, multiply, and feed all system of corruption. We try to control individual bribers; they sell out pawns and braves which go fishing outside the system. The latter exists due to the lack of corruption control.

The transparent taxation exists for small business only in the form of simplified system; though it is also faulty from the point of view of the theory of taxation; the big firms try and use the system to evade taxes.

Like any other social pathology, corruption cannot be controlled by force only, because it as much as replaces one subject of corruption with another. And force may also become a subject of corruption.

Unfortunately, instead of bending every effort to devise new projects, our people cheat to conceal their incomes and impose burden on our country and society.

In a civil society money go top-down, and information proceeds bottom-up (what problems need rulings for society to become more harmonious). Meanwhile in a pagan-totalitarian society money go bottom-up upwards (to strengthen the ruler), and information proceeds top-down (what ruler’s men must do to remain at the helm).

You cannot overpower even a pencil pusher because of cover-up and knowledgeability about laws. As a result, the fighters for truth are sacked and blame trade-unions. However, if major businesses were inclined to put relations with authorities in good order, we could start pulling the culture of corruption down.

Corruption always means violation of rules, laws, and order. If decisions are faulty, when you are not for efficacy, but fir intimacy, the life of society is changing for the worse. It becomes a way of life of millions of people; therefore the quality of social solutions declines as well.

Corruption is an imitative social phenomenon. Its essence is mimicry. It makes use of every flaw of governance. It is tenacious of life. At the same time, it endangers state sovereignty. If it comes to control key processes in the country, the state becomes doomed.

Neither moral bans nor limitations lead to corruption control; one needs to understand that a state cannot make do without mechanisms of corruption at the time being.

To my mind, current Ukrainian political leaders will not strive to control it. It needs other people to do the job: futurists which do not care a straw about media hacks, but do care about their place in history.

The Ukrainian corruption is characterized by ambivalence of people which prove their innocence and condemn others. In the west this process is more uniform. People know that it is illegal and bad on all levels. Here they believe that in general it is bad, but not for them; it makes all the difference.
