50 cents per life

Posted by Aleksandr Shkolnikov| February 3, 2010

In 2004, two suicide bombers got on two planes in Russia, bypassing security, and blew up the planes.  It cost them roughly $30 in bribes. 90 people died.  That’s less than 50 cents per life. This poster, by TI-Russia seeks to get people to understand that corruption is not harmless.  Corruption kills.
