Abstract
This article examines Russia-GRECO (Group of States against Corruption) cooperation in the fi eld of anti-corruption policies by looking at the case of regulating state and municipal service. By looking at Recommendations and Evaluation Reports, the article seeks to explore the impact of GRECO on domestic norms in Russia. The question of disciplinary liability is examined further as one of the contentious points in Russia-GRECO interaction. While there is extensive literature on corruption in Russia and post-Soviet states, research on Russia’s interaction with international organizations in this area is scarce. We hope to contribute to the existing research on international cooperation in the global fi ght against corruption, and to literature on states’ interaction with (regional) international organizations with a view of post-Communist context. The article concludes that even if progress in the fi eld of anti-corruption struggle has been slow, certain achievements must be noted, namely Russian anti-corruption laws and their implementation.
