Abstract

The problem of corruption is one of the most pressing problems for Russia, as it is aimed at destroying the system of civil service, contributes to the formation of a negative attitude of the population towards civil servants, towards employees performing managerial functions in commercial or other organizations. The importance of institutional trust is manifested in the fact that it is seen as the basis for effective institutional interaction and is considered a subjective basis for the stability of society as a whole. The article examines the extent to which trust in some social institutions is associated with indicators of coverage and risk of everyday corruption. The main indicators were: trust / distrust to medical organizations, preschool institutions, secondary educational institutions, universities, police, court and traffic police. It was determined that there is a correlation between the risk of corruption in relation to these spheres of circulation and the coverage of corruption practices among the population of the Altai region, depending on the level of institutional trust.
