2 May 2012. Russia’s civil society has seen a dramatic jump over the past three years and is doing much more to curb corruption than the authorities, Yelena Panfilova, an outgoing prominent member of the presidential anti-corruption and human rights council, said on Wednesday.

Panfilova announced last week that she was not planning to continue her work with the presidential council, which is expected to be reshuffled following the inauguration of Vladimir Putin.
