== The Federal Service for Economic and Tax Crimes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation == The history of the single-minded struggle against tax crimes in modern Russia amounts to something over eleven years.

The tax investigations subdivisions were called upon to effectuate measures directed to wards enhancing the effectiveness of the activity of tax agencies with regard to the timely receipt in the budget of taxes and other obligatory payments.
