> I mean the western corruption isn't in any shape or form comparable to Russian corruption Is this good or bad? Is Russian corruption much worse or much better in the Epstein scale of corruption?

Yes, Russian corruption is much worse. You only know about Epstein because there wasn't enough corruption to hide it indefinitely. Dozens of people where murdered by Putin for merely speaking out against him. Corruption is also much more normalized in Russia. Bureaucrats will casually take money to work your case faster (or at all). I know that from old friends as they had to bribe people to get their case processed…

The fact that we know about the Epstein cases didn't change a thing, the people are still in power, there is no scenario that could be worse than that. Are you from the US?
