Abstract [eng] Smuggling and corruption are negative social phenomena; it is not an objective reality, because people create them. Smuggling is commonly referred to as illegal traffic of goods (or other items) across the state border, unlawful disposal of illegally imported goods that are subject to tax. Corruption is understood as any behaviour of a public servant or an equivalent person, which does not match their empowerment or set standards of behaviour, or a promotion of such behaviour in order to gain benefit for self or others, thus injuring the interests of individuals and the state. The authors of the article are of opinion that smuggling and corruption are among the most dangerous social phenomena that endanger human rights, democracy and the rule of law and that distort social justice. Therefore, this article seeks to reveal and analyse the link between smuggling and corruption as two social phenomena by discussing the common features of smuggling and corruption as distinct social phenomena, and evaluating the interrelationship of smuggling and corruption and their influence on the extent and spread of both criminal activities. The world uses various methods to diagnose smuggling and corruption: assessment of perceptions of these phenomena, assessment and understanding of experience when encountering cases of corruption or smuggling, legal statistics, etc. The article presents analysis of dynamics of and links between various smuggling and corruption- related criminal acts as social phenomena; it also examines the relation of dynamics of smuggling acts to dynamics of corruption- related criminal acts, provides common shared features of corruption and smuggling as separate social phenomena.
