TRANSNATIONAL CORRUPTION IN UKRAINE: CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES AND WAYS TO REDUCE IT

Abstract

The mafia metastases of the corrupt brown plague slowly but surely creep on planet Earth, corroding the power of the people, like rust metal, and the corrosive power is imposing its will on others, even in spite of their resistance, sucks the last juices from the remnants of democracy, leaving people only disease, poverty and death. This sad fate did not pass over our young, self-sufficient, as it seemed to us, sovereign, social, democratic country.

We have the lowest in Europe, insignificant salaries, scanty pensions, “free medicine”, huge unemployment, rampant common crime, theft, robbery, robbery, kidnapping, smuggling, travel abroad to earn money for specialists of various professions (builders, drivers, IT specialists, doctors, artists, scientists ...), the spread of the shadow economy, bribery, corruption at all levels and mega-corruption of the international oligarchy in the highest echelons of power, and most importantly — i mpunity of the guilty — causes distrust of the people in the power structures of our state. Based on all this, the attractiveness and interest in developing business in our country from both Ukrainian and foreign investors is lost.

The President needs to recall the historical fact that Vladimir the Great is the baptist of Kievan Rus, despite his greatness, great ambitions, world authority, having vast experience of the great sovereign and subtle political wisdom, tamed his pride in the name of peace and development of the state (last 27 years under his rule there was no war), which established with itself a special council of wise boyars and elders, and consulted with them about the establishment of laws and order.

In today’s globalized world, Ukraine is able to successfully resolve the issues of combating the transnational mafia by: removing it from power and managing economic, political and social issues; detailing the economy; minimize bribery and thereby reduce corruption; eradicating poverty and poverty; establishing democracy at the European level, if the legislation, and most importantly — the practice of its application, will meet the requirements of the time of the world community.
