In his address to the Federation Council in December 2012, Pres Vladimir Putin pointed to the poor government efficiency and corruption as major problems that everyone can see and contrasted those with modern public administration. The same month, Russia assumed the chairmanship of the Group of 20 and, at its September 2013 meeting, urged the member states to adopt a joint anticorruption strategy that would ban officials from traveling from one country to another if they are suspected of corruption. Such rhetoric could be seen as a response to Russia's less than satisfactory position in the international ratings. In 2012, Transparency International (TI) ranked Russia 133rd out of 174 countries on its Corruption Perception Index, and last place out of 22 in the latest TI Bribe Payer Index. The literature on informal governance is somewhat limited; leadership theories tend to examine practices of informal management under the rubric of interpersonal skills rather than associate them with the nature of organization.
