Corruption

- A military enlistment office certificate for a foreign passport - from 6 thousand. Relevant for guys under 27 who want a foreign passport but are dodging the draft

- Speed up a foreign passport - 3 days without going anywhere yourself - 25 thousand; just having someone get off their backside, find your documents in the pile and push them through - 2-3 thousand

- The guys run illegal poker - 15-100 thousand depending on the scale (so that no one shows up and shuts it down)

- One f...ing woman prints notarized powers of attorney at home - I got one for 1 thousand. A question for respected Nizhny Novgorod residents: is the woman underpricing? (there's actually a criminal charge for that - selling it for "a grand" is crazy)

- Street prostitutes hand over 200-300 rubles a day for the "walk-out" to the flashing-light UAZ vans that pull up

- The price to buy a vehicle inspection without a visit - 2,500 - 3,000 rubles

- Got caught for unlicensed software - people I know paid 70 thousand.

- My girlfriend wants to change her age in her passport. Any tips on the going rate?)

- actually you can do that officially at the district registry office (ZAGS) the state fee is about 100 rubles

- you can't change your date of birth, only if it was entered by mistake, or in the case of a "change of identity"

- maybe - my girlfriend used to work at the ZAGS, and there they'd change all sorts of things....

and on the back of the pension insurance certificate it says - "the insurance certificate is subject to replacement in cases of: change of surname, first name, patronymic, date or place of birth.."

- hm, great topic someone should really make a Nizhny Novgorod bribe-taker's handbook - I think it'd be popular

- except I have a feeling that instead of being "exposing," it'll turn into "useful addresses, prices, passwords, hideouts"))

- For kindergarten they ask anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 rubles.

- For kindergarten??????????? 100,000???? nonsense and tall tales... can't be.

- I was pretty shocked myself. People I know told me about it

- Buying off traffic cops for drunk driving - 30 grand. Buying off traffic cops for crossing into oncoming traffic - 1-2 grand. A doctor's note - 0.8-1 grand.

- Where are you finding traffic cops with such socially conscious pricing? Or is that through connections?

- those aren't connections prices...

Oncoming-lane violation - from 3 to 10 grand. A doctor at the special unit, correct test results - 10 grand. not my story.

- For a vehicle inspection, prices two years back started at 1 grand.

- Inspection - 3.5 Without paperwork on the engine - 5 (thousand) Oncoming-lane violation - 2-5 (thousand) Any procedure (registration etc.) - 1 (thousand) minimum... Filing any accident report - from 3 (thousand)..

- Inspection - 2 grand.

- Two years back - yes, 1 grand. But once the procedure changed, so did the prices.

- back in 2006, passing the exam with any mistakes except an accident cost 6,000 to 8,000.

- kindergarten - 15-30 (thousand) + a renovation for the group moving a child's term grade from a 2 to a 4 - 3 (thousand) + cognac (about 700 rubles)

- Getting your license back (removing the file) - 15,000

- The housing maintenance office, or whatever they're called, whoever can make sense of it - a request to shut off the water for repairs - 500 rubles. They said so themselves. That's the Moskovsky district. Some family dynasty runs the show there

- Prices depend a lot on how well you know someone. From one guy the draft board demands 90 grand for "unfit," from another 2 bottles of cognac gets "fit with limitations" (better than unfit). Same goes for a driver's license, a passport. Still better to live in small towns where you know everyone )

- Sick leave certificate - 300 rubles a day

- any tips on the going rate for squeezing someone out of their apartment :)

A guy worked at the Kovrov motorcycle plant (named after Degtyaryov). He decided to build himself a motorcycle. He'd carry parts out of the plant and assemble them in his garage - and it kept coming out as a machine gun, or an aircraft cannon...

The system built by the Godfather of All Rus' can only generate corruption schemes. Until December 1, 2008, all public-sector employees were paid according to a single tariff schedule (ETS). No kickbacks, no corruption... The Boss decided to fix the situation. Decree No. 605 (of September 22, 2007) was issued. Now all bonus funds are pooled in the hands of managers, who distribute them at their own discretion. At the same time, the official salary of an institution's head amounts to 3 times the average wage of the institution's core staff. Funds for wages coming from entrepreneurial and other income-generating activity are directed by institutions toward incentive payments. No less than 30% of federal budget allocations are directed there as well.

9. The federal executive authority (or other state body or organization) that the institution is subordinate to may set incentive payments for the institution's head.

For these purposes, federal executive authorities (other state bodies and organizations that are principal managers of federal budget funds) to which institutions are subordinate are entitled to centralize up to 5 percent of the allocations from the federal budget for the wages of employees and staff of their subordinate institutions, for incentive payments to the heads of those institutions.

In other words, the rector's high salary is set by the ministry of education, spending up to 5% of the Lobachevsky University's payroll fund on it.
