 Ananova: 
Government's hellish warning

The Russian government is warning that people who give or take bribes will "burn in the flames of hell."

The drastic warning comes in a mass leafleting scheme aimed at rooting out widespread corruption in society.

Officials in Russia admit corruption is a massive problem with billions of pounds changing hands in bribes every year across all industries including education, health and police.

The government has sent out a leaflet to every home in Russia advising people what to do if they are asked for a bribe.

The leaflet quotes a text from the Koran which reads: "Both the giver and taker of a bribe will burn in the flames of hell."
