Corruption: Two Centuries Research (Through the Pages of the Book: Lut S. S. Corruption: Bibliographic Reference Book (1810-2018). Moscow: Kontrakt, 2019. 528 p.)

The work presents the book by S. S. Lut "Corruption: a Bibliographic Reference Book (1810-2018)" (Moscow: Kontrakt, 2019). The peer-reviewed bibliographic collection contains over 13 thousand publications for more than two centuries. When forming the bibliography, the author proceeded from the definition of corruption, which is contained in the Federal Law of December 25, 2008 No. 273-FZ "On Combating Corruption". The work under review presents compendiums that in one way or another touch upon the problems of corruption and combating corruption crimes. In particular, research is given in mathematics, political science, history, sociology, economic theory, psychology, philosophy, philology and geography, i.e. works on sciences that at first glance are very far from jurisprudence. All the material is structured based on two main criteria: classification by type of work and distribution by temporal aspect. The first chapter brings together monographs, textbooks and teaching aids, separate sections of which are devoted to the problems of corruption, while the works are presented in chronological order as they are published. The second chapter contains a list of monographs and textbooks, fully or mostly devoted to the characteristics and counteraction to corruption. The third chapter integrates relevant scientific articles. The fourth chapter covers dissertations and abstracts. Of particular interest to the reader is a critical analysis of legislative acts, in one way or another, aimed at combating corruption. The analytical article broadly presents international legal acts dedicated to the problem of corruption and the development of measures to prevent it.
