Corruption Manual for idiots

In Astrakhan region published “Guide for State and municipal officials on combating corruption or what to do if offered a bribe” which literally reads as follows:

“- behave very carefully, politely, without flattery, avoiding rash expressions that could be interpreted by a bribe-giver as willingness or a categorical refusal to accept a bribe;

– listen carefully and accurately remember the terms proposed to you (amounts, name of goods and services nature, timing and ways of transmission of a bribe, a form of commercial bribery, the sequence of issues);

– try to move the issue of time and place of transmission of bribes to the next meeting and invite him to a familiar place for the next meeting;

– do not take an initiative in a conversation on yourselves, try more “work at the receiving” and let a potential bribe-giver “speak out” to inform you much information as possible”.

And then, obviously you can safely take a bribe.
