Stability, compliance with the norms and principles of law, the safety of citizens and their equality in the face of the law - all these signs are inherent in the so-called rule of law. RBC Agency regularly publishes Rating of legal states, in which Russia, alas, is far from the first position. According to the results of 2012, our country is in 85th place, next door to Uganda, Nigeria and Zimbabwe.

High positions of crime, corruption and almost unlimited power of the country's ruling elite have crippled Russian positions. But we bring to your attention the top ten countries topping the list of legal states.
