The article features the attitude of Russian youth to corruption. The research owes its relevance to the ubiquitous nature of this phenomenon, which remains understudied from the point of view of sociology and psychology. The article deals with the identification of the prevailing type of personality behavior in various life situations. All the experimental situations were potentially associated with corruption. Three series of studies were conducted in 2018–2019. This research was based on projective methodology. The authors identified the dominant types of behavior of young people in life situations with a corruption connotation. The data obtained indicate that approximately half of the young people were sure that they would remain honest under the suggested circumstances, while less than a half of them admitted that they would possibly get involved in corruption if needed. Only an insignificant percentage of the participants could be classified as susceptible to corruption.
