On May 14, 2020, the Project Coordinator, Associate Professor O. Makarenkov, held another scheduled lecture within the specified course  on the topic "Nominative characteristics of European and national anti-corruption culture as methodological tools for their understanding". Through the Internet on the Zoom VCI platform, listeners were able to listen the questions regarding the initial nominations of anti-corruption legislation, its transformations and application practices; their legal-technical, semaseological, extralinguistic and other formal-legal features in the relevant profile legislation of the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Bulgaria and the Republic of Croatia; intertextual connections with metatext of both legislative documents and acts of law enforcement. During the discussions, answers were found on possible options for overcoming differences in interpretations of legal norms and their unification, aimed at achieving European standards of integrity in public law relations. The lecturer also identified ways to unify the provisions of domestic regulations with the relevant norms of the EU, which have the highest corruption perception index intolerance (CPI). He also spoke about the elimination of destructive factors of psycholinguistic and other nature that affect the effectiveness of anti-corruption activities in Ukraine. The range of these issues started from the stage of engaging experts for this work to conduct anti-corruption expertise of legislation drafts (law, bylaw etc.) and ended with the execution of decisions in cases of corruption.

On May 21, 2020, the Project Coordinator, Associate Professor O. Makarenkov, held regular scheduled lecture within the specified course  on the topic "Nominative characteristics of European and national anti-corruption culture as methodological tools for their understanding". Through the Internet on the Zoom VCI platform, students were able to listen the interpretation and application of anti-corruption rules of the law on gifts, public and private interest, non-economic components of private interest, real conflict of interest, specially authorized entities and whistleblowers in the field of anti-corruption, etc. Among other things, the students discussed with the lecturer the problems of efficiency and effectiveness of the institution of declaring income by public officials. They pointed out that the declaration first appeared in the United States in 1965 and had been introduced in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland since the late 1970s.
Problems with the implementation of anti-corruption standards in the Republic of Poland, Hungary and Romania were also revealed. In particular, it was noted that among these countries, Hungary is the slowest to implement the recommendations of the Council of Europe in the person of its specialized body GRECO (The Group of States against Corruption) on standards of integrity in public authority. It is currently showing the least effectiveness of the prosecutor's office in providing procedural guidance in prosecuting corruption offenses and upholding public prosecutions in court, but, simultaneously, the level of bribery among police officers is declining. As a result of the lesson and to meet the requirements of the Program, its quality was monitored and the tasks to be performed by the students were determined.

28.05.2020 Lecture topic: Diachronic characteristics of European and domestic anti-corruption culture on the background of Western, Eastern and other traditions of law
The Project Coordinator, Associate Professor O. Makarenkov, held regular scheduled lecture within the specified course. Through the Internet on the Zoom VCI platform, students were able to gain knowledge about the domestic anti-corruption model of public law transformation in historical and legal retrospect (2014-2020). The lecturer also spoke about the current determinants of future trends in this model, including increasing the efficiency of the judiciary and law enforcement agencies in the investigation of corruption and related crimes, administration of justice in these cases.
The importance of applying the following rules of law to courts, prosecutors and law enforcement agencies was stressed. These rules apply to competitive selection for the position and compliance with qualification requirements (presence of personal and professional qualities); election for a term and limitation of the number of such election / appointment to administrative positions; decent level of remuneration for work; self-government bodies and qualification assessment / disciplinary responsibility; internal control bodies / disciplinary commissions; mechanisms of the open civil society institutions influence, etc.
It is determined that in the domestic legal space the relations on promotion of individuals and/or business structures interests through decisions / actions of public authorities (lobbyism) are not regulated. This corruption-causing factor is complemented by the uncertainty of the mechanisms for reliable identification of illicit enrichment. Together with the absence of court verdicts (acquittals or indictments) on high-profile corruption cases of top corruption, they significantly weaken the progress of public-law integrity in the future. Thus, the inability of anti-corruption legislation to be effectively applied by the existing anti-corruption infrastructure of Ukraine is revealed and the need for additional transformations of the relevant legal norms is determined, including with the support of the EU.
During the lesson, the possibilities of borrowing relevant experience of successful fight against corruption of prosecutors and law enforcement agencies of the Kingdom of Denmark (State Prosecutor for Serious Economic and International Crime, 1973; The Agency provides preventative measures to prevent bribery in international relations with foreign counterparties), Kingdom of the Netherlands (The National Police Internal Investigations Department; The National Public Prosecutor on Corruption) and the Kingdom of Belgium (The Belgian Central Office for the Repression of Corruption, 1998) were outlined.

Theme 4: Globalization influences on modern legal characteristics of European and domestic anti-corruption culture
The Project Coordinator, Associate Professor O. Makarenkov, held regular scheduled lecture within the specified course. Through the Internet on the Zoom VCI platform, he revealed the issues of correlation between the cultures of the peoples of Europe (external) and within the national culture (intériorisation) by the parameters of the dominance degree the human virtues while ensuring the public interest. He also noted that such a provision is functionally limited by legal private interest (lim f (x - x0), and together the interests of both types are determined by reliable indicators of the range of maximum possible free development of each person.
During the lecture, it was also established that corruption is a manifestation of dishonesty, which denies culture as a phenomenon and has a counter-civilizational character, especially quickly destroys high-tech complex civilizations, including European ones. Avoiding these illegal aberrations for European countries means only further strengthening the legal, managerial and educational mechanisms of institutionalization of legal, political, economic and other socialization of their own citizens. Through them there is an actualization of legal values stereotypes and patterns of behavior, which are alternative to corruption motives, based on the existing and future levels of social progress.
Participants discussed issues the responsibility subjects of law and temporal characteristics of European and domestic anti-corruption cultures, anthropic dimension of anti-corruption legislation, modern globalization contexts for integrity in the European national security, etc.
In order to adapt and borrow relevant foreign experience in Ukraine, the legal regulation of anti-corruption issues (criminal codes in the absence of special anti-corruption laws) and the relevant organizational and legal decisions of the following EU countries were taken into account:
Kingdom of Norway, where the specialization of the pre-trial investigation criminal cases body focuses on a system of dangerous to society economic and environmental crimes, including corruption offenses (ØKOKRIM, Norwegian National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime);
The Kingdom of Sweden and Finland, which are distinguished by the presence along with the Ministry of Justice and the National Prosecution Authority (Riksåklagaren / Syyttäjälaitosta) Chancellor of Justice (Justitiekanslern / Oikeuskanslerin, 1719), whose authority includes taking measures to restore human rights and freedoms violated by corruption.
