Because the Soviet Union did not publish comprehensive crime statistics, comparison of its crime rates with those of other
countries is difficult. According to Western experts, robberies, murders, and other violent crimes were much less prevalent
than in the United States because of the Soviet Union's larger police presence, strict gun controls, and relatively low incidence
of drug abuse. By contrast, white-collar economic crime permeated the Soviet system. Bribery and covert payments for goods
and ser vices were universal, mainly because of the paucity of goods and services on the open market. Party usually said that
most of crime is hooliganism which connected with alcoholics and low level of culture.
In the first half of the 1990s, crime statistics moved sharply and uniformly upward. From 1991 to 1992, the number of officially
reported crimes and the overall crime rate each showed a 27 percent increase; the crime rate nearly doubled between
1985 an d 1992. By the early 1990s, theft, burglary, and other acts against property accounted for about two-thirds of
all crime in Russia. Of particular concern to citizens, however, was the rapid growth of violent crime, including gruesome
homicides.
