Height corrupt government institutions, their matching with the criminal structures are some of the signs of the fall of the legitimacy of power and threaten the democratization of modern society*.


Assuming that the political regime - an attribute has developed state, the genesis of corruption in this context is presented from the standpoint of the present. Research historians suggest otherwise.

Corruption as a socially negative phenomenon appeared in ancient times with the first signs of the state and the division of society into classes.
