    There are differing views on the amount of routine corruption experienced there, but if you have friends/connections, a lot of activity could be overlooked.

    That is the same everywhere. I've lived in the UK, France and Spain, and in all three countries, those who are well connected can get away with pretty much anything. The authorities will look the other way.

    That is not a Russia/Slavic/EastEurope specific thing. I have not lived in the USA, but based on what I've read in the news and opinions of US Citizens, sounds like corruption for the well connected is alive and well for the USA too.

    I dunno. Let's say you start Michael David Crawford's Orphanage for the Production of Child Pornography (unofficial name). You bribe the first cops and officials to start investigating the joint, or you cultivate a relationship with them in advance. Some countries must be better than others for not getting busted. Maybe Russia is better than the UK, France, and Spain, and Ukraine is better than Russia. And Syria or Yemen beats them all.
