Lavrentieva, O.O. Administrative legal means for the minimization of corruption risks in the system of public civil service and the
principles of their implementation.
Abstract: In the modern social, economic and political conditions the Russian Federation is facing many threats and
challenges. One of the problems considerably complicating many public reforms, violating rights and lawful interests of
the natural persons and legal entities interacting with the state government and administration bodies I the problem of
corruption. This problem has been involved with the public interests of states throughout the history of development of
human civilization and statehood. Due to corruption many empires have fallen, and the sovereignty of many states was
undermined, moral and material damage was caused. That is why for the sake of its own survival the public government
has to fight the negative social and legal phenomenon of corruption, which undermines its fundamentals and makes the
system of state administration inefficient. The methodological basis for the scientific article was formed by the current
achievements of the theory of cognition. In the process of studies the author used general philosophical, theoretical
and empiric methods (dialectics, systemic method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling),
traditional legal methods ( formal logic method), and methods typical for specific sociological studies (statistical, expert
evaluation, etc.). There is not a single industrially developed state without corruption. At the same time, there are rather
many states, where the corruption level according to the national statistics and studies by international NGOs is very
low. That is why, one may see the direct dependency between solving the corruption problem and growth of the national
well-being of the state and society. Almost every state, which has achieved any success in fighting corruption, followed
a certain pattern with due consideration to the national traditions, mentality of the people, political and legal regime.
