The Ramenskoye City Court of the Moscow Region blocked a republishing of a translation of an analytical article from The Economist by the InoSMI website on a Ukrainian website. The prosecutor's office believed that the article contained instructions on how to give bribes to officials. The material describes the causes of corruption, analyzes the methods of bribe-giving in different countries, discusses the terminology of bribe-takers, and cites cases from the correspondents' lives when they encountered corruption. The material has been removed from the InoSMI website.
