Based on the analysis of legislative monuments of law of the Moscow state of the 15–16th centuries, public charters and narrative sources, the author attempts to define the terminology in the field of corruption in the Russian law of the period under review, distinguish and promise as a mandatory fee for the conduct of the judiciary of certain legal proceedings, regardless of the outcome of the trial, from the «secret bribe» and «secret extortions», which acquired at that time character of corruption offenses along with «extortion» and «bribery». The main aspects and features of corruption offenses typical for the period of the Moscow state are analyzed and disclosed. Not only such well-known monuments of the Russian law, like the Code of Laws, but also charters, labial mandates and other sources of law in the period of 15–16th centuries are studied. The author draws attention to the importance that the legislator of the period under review payed to the fight against local arbitrariness.
