Without an understanding of the concepts of 'continuity' or 'path dependence' in the socialist economy, we cannot understand why even now in Russia corruption diffuses throughout society. Although there are few surveys which approach the issue from the point of view of 'continuity' or 'path dependence, ' in this article, the relationship between shadow economy and corruption under the period of transition is described. Then my view will be shown, discussing the existence of 'socialistic corruption.' The ubiquity of socialistic corruption in the USSR is one of the most important reasons why corruption also becomes widespread in Russia.
