Young Guards Polling Muscovites To Detect Most Corrupt Russian Agencies

MOSCOW. Aug 6 (Interfax) - United Russia Party's Young Guards movement will conduct a poll on corruption in Russia in Moscow from Monday to Friday this week.

"The poll is being conducted in order to detect the most corrupt agencies and departments, and to determine the appropriate measures needed to tackle this social evil," the youth organization said in a statement released on Monday.

The poll is being conducted by the Young Guards Moscow headquarters on Pushkinskaya, Manezhnaya, Slavyanskaya, Komsomolskaya, Teatralnaya squares, as well as on Tverskaya, Prospekt Mira and other streets as part of an anti-corruption program, the statement says.

Respondents will be asked two questions: "Where, in your opinion, are bribes most often taken?" and "Which anti-corruption method do you think is the most efficient?"

The data received during the poll will be sent to Moscow city legislative and executive bodies and published in the media, the press release says.

"United Russia's Young Guards Moscow branch calls on Muscovites to smash attempts by corrupt officials to benefit at the public's expense. We are calling for transparency and openness!" it said.
