This book examines why the number of entrepreneurs is declining so rapidly in Putin’s Russia, how many economic opportunities are being irrevocably lost each year in Russia, and why entrepreneurship has become one of the most dangerous occupations in Russia over the last decade. Based on extensive research, including in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs, it reveals a corrupt system of government agencies at the regional and local levels, and the increasing involvement of public officials in unlawful seizures of businesses. One major conclusion is that the vast majority of informal payments by entrepreneurs to regulatory agencies are made not to achieve illegal advantages, but rather to secure the property rights that the entrepreneurs are entitled to under the law anyway.
