Russia's new president Dmitri Medvedev is making anti-corruption policy his new pet project. While he says that he believes that corruption could cripple the state, other Russians believe it's all just a show. Corruption is the back bone of Russian politics, and life, according to many of the people who were interviewed in this article. Some of them have even been imprisoned for corrupt reasons, the police need to put on a show or they delved too deep into something they weren't supposed to. The long and short of it is that many Russians are pessimistic about corruption ever being eradicated from their society- reason being: most of the officials who would need to help change the policy are corrupt themselves and would have to punish eachother before the policy would affect the public at large.
