Abstract
The article examines one of the determinants of everyday corruption in modern Russian society — the conscious readiness of citizens to participate in corrupt practices. The main theoretical approaches traditionally used in considering this problem in domestic and foreign scientific literature are analyzed. Taking into account the ambiguous results of the fight against everyday corruption in modern society, the article aims to apply another approach to the study of this determinant of this negative phenomenon, which is based on the theory of structuring by the famous English sociologist E. Giddens. To analyze the results of the empirical sociological study of everyday corruption in the Sverdlovsk region obtained by the authors, the stratification model of the agent developed by E. Giddens was tested. A conclusion is made about the possibility of changing for the positive one of the components of the consciousness of ordinary citizens potentially ready to participate in corrupt practices — theoretical consciousness, which can help in the formation of anti-corruption attitudes among the population.
