Then we agree to disagree.
Being in business in Russia - property/real estate ownership in Moscow, St. Petersburg and certain Siberian/Tuvinian locations as well as gas and oil shares - I have a pretty darned good idea how it all works. Used to be as you suggest, not now (talking circa 2006 til about 2012. Now significantly different).
Worst place for bribery - having dealt with them directly - has been Latvia. Absolutely astonishing levels of corruption. I believe they are also now ranked as the worlds money launderers (proceeds of crime etc). Lithuania and Estonia are not far behind. Never dealt with Belarus directly yet, so cannot comment there. Latvia...good lord... so long as you have US dollars, you can buy what/who ever you want.
