Lihoimstvo in the true sense, according to article 373 ' Ulozhenija about punishments ', makes acceptance of gift (bribe) for uchinenie or an assumption something opposite to service duties. Since Peter I there was also a concept lihodatelstva which gradually began to be interpreted as payoff, but in any case separately from lihoimstva. Pretty madonna music download website

Unlike foreign practice, in Russian ' Ulozhenii about punishments ' was not points about judicial lihoimstve, except article 366 about ' nepravosudii from mercenary or other personal kinds ' and articles 659 about a bribe to the person entered in the list of jurymen on certain session and thus knowing that a bribe is given it on the business, able to be subject to its consideration as the juryman.

About any lihoimstve in the field of speech economy, naturally, did not go.

Official (or office) extortion as it is defined in article 377 ' by Ulozhenija about punishments ', included:

1) the requirement of gifts for the action, concerning services of the guilty;

2) collection of the gathering not established by the law or appointment of illegal dresses to inhabitants for work;

3) acquisition of benefit by threats or fear of oppression.

Thus, neither in any value - nor in wide, in narrow - in the pre-revolutionary legislation of Russia punishment for bribery in the field of business if officials there have not been involved was not provided. in it Russia differed nothing from other countries as it, judging by the previous paragraph, occurs now.
