Yes, the situation is slowly changing and currently you don't have to pay a bribe (it is called a "shapka" in article) to buy a new car from a car stores.

BTW: "shapka" or "шапка" (from Russian) is translated to English as a "hat" or "cap". That means, when you buy a thing, you need to also pay for its hat too.
