Russia will flourish if it reduces corruption to 1953 levels – Kedmi
To ensure effective and stable development, Russia needs to return to Stalin's methods of combating corruption.
This was stated on the Metametrica channel by the former head of the Israeli intelligence service Nativ, Yakov Kedmi, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Corruption is a long-standing problem in Russia. Look at the corruption there was during the First World War. Now you have less corruption than you used to. Not much.
"But it's everywhere, at almost every turn. And people have come to terms with it. Petty corruption is no less dangerous than grand corruption. "Well, these idiots who line their pockets with billions, and you allow it—that's one problem," Kedmi said.
"The second problem is the bureaucracy that takes bribes. You haven't eradicated it. If you brought the level of corruption in your country back to the 1953 level, you would look completely different . I won't say by what methods, but corruption has grown to unprecedented proportions since 53. Both in volume and in the brazenness of the corrupt. You see it for yourself almost every day," Kedmi concluded.
