Abstract. The railway complex is of particular strategic importance to Russia. It is a connecting link of the unified economic system, and it ensures stable operation of industrial enterprises, timely delivery of vital goods to the most remote areas of the country, and it is also the most affordable mode of transport for millions of citizens. The current paper has considered the approaches and fundamentals of counteracting corruption in the organizations set up to fulfill the tasks assigned to the Government of the Russian Federation. There have been shown a role and importance of the main directions of government policy in the field of counteracting corruption and the procedure for implementing measures aimed at identifying processes and systematizing the causes, conditions and circumstances of corruption. There has been identified an absence of a unified anti-corruption legislation and direct norms of action related to employees in the organizations set up to fulfill the tasks assigned to the Government of the Russian Federation. There has been determined a necessity for a unified approach to the implementation of the principles of preventing and counteracting corruption.
