Uzbekistan is a post-Soviet republic and today there is a negative phenomenon such as corruption. 
The history of the struggle of the Soviet government against corruption is characterized by a number of 
specific features. 
First, corruption, both as a concept and as a phenomenon, was not recognized in official regulatory 
documents and practice. Instead of this definition, the terms “bribery”, “abuse of official position”, 
“connivance”, etc. were used. 
Secondly, the causes of this phenomenon were associated with the conditions inherent in bourgeois 
society. So, for example, in a closed letter of the Central Committee of the CPSU "On strengthening the

phenomenon generated by the conditions of an exploiting society." The October Revolution eliminated the 
root causes of bribery, and "the Soviet administrative and managerial apparatus is a new type of apparatus." 
Shortcomings in the work of party, trade union and state bodies, primarily in the field of education of 
workers, were listed as reasons for corruption manifestations. 
The note of the Department of Administrative Bodies of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the 
CPC under the Central Committee of the CPSU on strengthening the fight against bribery in 1975-1980, 
dated May 21, 1981, indicates that in 1980 more than 6 thousand cases of bribery were detected, which is 
50% more than in 1975. It tells about the emergence of organized groups (for example, more than 100
