COMPARATIVE LAW ANALYSIS OF ANTI-CORRUPTION BEHAVIOR OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE RUSSIAN PENSION FUND SYSTEM

Abstract

Since 2013, the anti-corruption legislation mentions employees of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, extra-budgetary funds and other organizations in addition to government employees, which indicates that the state's attention to corruption prevention is expanding. And there are grounds for this, for example, in relation to employees of the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR): the large amount of financial resources at the disposal of the Fund creates prerequisites for committing corruption offenses. For example, PFR expenditures in 2018 accounted for half of the budget expenditures of the Russian Federation [1, 2]; information appearing in the media about corruption offenses in the PFR; several employees of the PFR are listed in the Register of persons dismissed due to loss of trust [3]. Due to the fact that the norms of anti-corruption behaviour of government employees have been introduced earlier than for employees of the PFR, it is possible to make assumptions about their greater elaboration and efficiency, on the other – due to the fact that employees of the PFR have the main features of public officials [4], we can assume that the basic norms of anti-corruption behavior of employees of the PFR must comply with the government officials. The purpose of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the regulatory and legal regulation of anti-corruption behavior of government employees and employees of the PFR, which resulted in proposals for improving regulatory legal acts and taking other measures to prevent corruption.
