Here at the Anti-Corruption Foundation, we’ve decided to work with you on one important thing. Fittingly, it’s about fighting corruption.
While we’re finishing up this thing (we need a few more days), we want to remind everyone — ourselves included — about some specific people and cases. They were chosen because they illustrate a very important gap between ordinary decent people and the corporation that currently calls itself the "government of Russia."
They are trying to convince us that there is no problem here, that we shouldn’t pay attention to it, and that these "heroes" have done nothing objectionable. But when we describe these cases, we use words like "corruption," "illicit enrichment," and "unexplained income." And this is not a matter of minor details or terminology. I am deeply convinced that the question "where did this public official get so much money?" is the defining issue of the modern Russian state. It is precisely to prevent that question from being asked that the ruling corporation stages all the clownish spectacle we are witnessing: from the nationalization of Google to censorship in the media, election rigging, and, tragically, a real war.
Until we launch this thing, I’ll remind you twice a day that such a thing is needed. And you can help a lot by sharing the link to the story of yet another successful public official.
Today I want to remind you of the story of United Russia deputy Irina Yarovaya, who heads the anti-corruption committee!
