摘要：

In the article the author justifies a new approach towards the empirical evaluation of the extent of democracy in the existing states of the world. Departing from the interpretation of modern polyarchal democracy as a form of organization of political and state orders that possesses a specific set of institutional mechanisms, Yu. Nisnevich hypothesizes that the integral indicator of continuous quality of realization of political and state orders of polyarchal democracy might be the level of the spread of corruption in public sphere. According to his hypothesis, only those states are rightfully qualified as democracies where two necessary conditions of democracy - free, fair and regularly held elections and change of public officials in accordance with electoral results - are realized, and the spread of corruption doesn't exceed the minimally acceptable level.
