description Objective: to determine the importance of non-profit organizations as subjects of national anti-corruption policy in theRussian Federation.Methods: system-structural approach that promotes a comprehensive study of process or phenomenon as a whole; comparative historical method aimed at identifying the dynamics of processes or phenomena; reporting method that allows obtaining data from official reporting; monitoring method that facilitates the analysis of information on Internet sites; logical methods. Results: based on the analysis of the Russian legislation, scientific works, monitoring of the dynamics and activities of non-profit organizations, it can be stated that today in Russia 293 non-profit organizations are directly involved in the sphere of corruption counteraction, i.e. 0.13% of their total number (219,642). Anti-corruption NPOs (ANPOs) implement such activities as anti-corruption enlightenment (in health care, construction, housing, public procurement, etc.), research in the field of anti-corruption activities, legal assistance, implementation of public control measures, training of public experts and instructors. Specific organizational forms of the above activities include lectures, seminars, round tables, trainings, etc. Some ANPOs’ activities have a local character and are usually reduced to a discussion of the well-known news related to the detection of committing a corruption offense. Some ANPOs do not seek cooperation with reputable NPOs and public authorities, considering such interaction as subordination and deprivation of autonomy. There is also a lack of readiness of state bodies, in particular law enforcement agencies, for comprehensive and effective cooperation with civil society institutions. Scientific novelty: for the first time, the article comprehensively explores the area of practical implementation of the principle of non-profit organizations’ participation in struggling against corruption in Russia. The paper proposes to clarify the legal status of ANPOs, their rights and obligations, types and guarantees of activities, methods of work, forms of interaction with state authorities, other state and local self-government bodies, financing, etc. To improve the efficiency of ANPOs’ activities, it is recommended to create ANPO portal, where information could be published on successfully implemented anti-corruption projects. Also, ANPO's activities can be included in the list of socially useful services and criteria for assessing their quality, approved by the Decree of the Russian Federation Government No. 1096 of 27 October 2016.Practical significance: on the basis of the study of scientific-theoretical, normative, sociological and practical aspects of corruption counteraction, the authors formulate proposals to improve the activities of non-profit organizations in the field of corruption counteraction in Russia.
