What is Kobo Super Points?

National Library of Australia. Competence was not the means of advancing a career within the MVD, rather political loyalty was the ticket to success.

Reward Yourself

Unfortunately, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, depolitization within the security apparatus of the newly independent states MS was spotty at best resulting in a system based more around personal loyalty than professionalism. As with the KGB, Yeltsin decided to forego true reform within the security apparatus and allowed MVD to continue defending the ruling elite and not the citizenry. Compounding these difficulties is the plight of the average member within the MVD. With low wages, poor equipment and an almost indifferent attitude towards personal safety from the top, it is no surprise that corruption is rampant within the MVD.

Today the cadre is literally left to fend for themselves as the leadership continues to enjoy disproportionate benefits and many times seems to be in cahoots with organized crime. Moreover, coupled with the disastrous performance in Chechnya morale within the MVD is dangerously low. Shelley effectively argues that these factors prevented the MVD from becoming the professional and effective forces that the western world enjoys. Until a thorough housecleaning takes place, the MVD of many republics will continue to be second rate police force and may even prove an impediment to the continuation of democracy.
