Speaking from a very corrupt eastern european country -- practice shows that each change of power lessens corruption somewhat -- who knows what next leaders will dig out, better stay safe. The longer same functioneers stay in power, the deeper is corruption.

That's no good, in the Soviet Union corruption only lasted for 5 years until it was replaced by the new one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-year_plans_for_the_nation...

What are you talking about? The USSR was ruled by the same party its whole existence.

I am talking about this thing called joke. Bureaucratic corruption (outside the party) did change somewhat for 5 years at the time.
