Russian Capitalism and Money-Laundering

By Dolgor Solongo

The period of transition from socialism to capitalism in the Russian Federation has appeared to present limitless opportunities for international money-laundering. This publication discusses this issue under such topics as: capital flight and money-laundering; dollarization of the Russian economy; privatization; shadow economy, tax evasion and lawlessness; financial liberalization and the banking system; crime and business; and countering money-laundering
