On July, 26th, 2009 the president of the Russian Federation in the interview to the TV-channel NTV said rather remarkable phrase: "While they would think about Russia as about the country where there's extremely high level of corruption, we will be treated in appropriate way ..." That is the way D.Medvedev touched upon, perhaps, the topic of the day in Russia; he didn't ascertained the presence of corruption corroding society directly, he just mentioned that many countries think about our Federation as about the state with the highest level of corruption. What is the reason foreign countries "suddenly" acquired such bad thoughts about Russia?
