藉由本論文之研究，可獲得以下三點重要發現：第一、貪腐具有某種地域上之性質，分布狀態非隨機發生。第二、中央政府權限越大，反有助於政治上清廉之落實。第三、「東亞矛盾」並非適用於前蘇聯所有國家當中。另外於樣本分群下，我們可以得到前獨聯體國家群中，較為清廉的國家，往往具有較佳經濟成長之結論。 For a long time, Russia has been known as one of the most corruption-hit countries in the world. This holds true regarding both the former Soviet Union and contemporary Russia The scale of corruption has reached the dimensions threatening social stability and economic growth. It is rampant on all levels and branches of administration – central and local, the Federal Security Service , police and customs authorities, municipal governments etc. But is corruption just an obstacle to development or its necessary factor in the absence of strong civil society and democratic order ? Some scholars refer to the so called "East Asian Paradox": corruption has not hindered the economic growth in the Far East. One can also argue that the reasonable level of corruption can contribute to the economic growth in some cases. In addition, the size of central government authority for the government also has an impact on the degree of corruption.
The purpose of this research is to explore the relationship between corruption, economic growth and the size of the state administration in the former Soviet Union.
This study has led the author to the following conclusions: First, distribution of corruption follows e definite regional pattern and not quite random. Second, the greater the authority of the central government is, the more opportunities it has to pursue the cleaning politics. Third, the "East Asian Paradox" is not applicable to all states of the former Soviet Union. Through some case-studies of corruption it is possible to claim that countries with comparatively low corruption level often have better conditions for the economic growth in the group of CIS countries.
