Power Without Consequences: Inside Russia’s Culture of Impunity

Power Without Consequences: Inside Russia’s Culture of Impunity

A former FSB lieutenant colonel sentenced to 18 years for organizing a contract killing walks free after signing a military contract. A senior Russian Defense Ministry official is arrested in the latest corruption scandal to hit the military bureaucracy. And an investigator receives only a suspended sentence after illegally declaring a mother of two wanted and having her detained for refusing to sign a protocol.

In this episode of From Russia with Fear, we examine three cases that expose the blurred lines between power, corruption, and accountability in modern Russia. From a failed assassination carried out with a rocket launcher to bribery inside the Defense Ministry and abuse of authority by law enforcement, these stories reveal a system where those entrusted with enforcing the law often find themselves accused of breaking it.
