Most bribery cases involved bribes ranging from 1 000 to 10 000 roubles (roughly €21 to €212), followed by bribes below 500 roubles and bribes between 500 and 1 000 roubles. The recorded cases involving larger bribes such as one million roubles (about €21 200) and beyond are extremely low. This must be seen against a notable rise in the average size of individual bribes from 61 000 roubles (about €1 293) in 2010 to 300 000 roubles (about €6 360) in 2011. Of the 6 014 individuals convicted of corruption-related crimes, only 506 individuals were sentenced to a prison term ranging from less than one year to up to ten years.
