The head of ACREC Oksana Nesterenko shared the view on the corruption in Russia and how it influences the War in Ukraine

The Global Anticorruption Podcast published a New Podcast Episode featuring @Oksana Nesterenko, the executive director of Міждисциплінарний науково-освітній центр протидії корупції НаУКМА.

The episode is devoted to how issues related to corruption in Russia relate to the war in Ukraine.

In this episode you will get to know:

  • Why the war between Russia and Ukraine is really a war of values, and why gradual reforms in Ukraine in the direction of liberal democracy and anticorruption threatened the Putin regime.
  • Why Putin’s war is also an attempt to deflect domestic attention from his regime’s failures, including the government dysfunction caused by his corrupt approach to governance.
  • What were the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s pre-war anticorruption efforts and how he was recognized that as a politician he had to balance interests and demands from different stakeholders.
