Most of obstacles that small businesses face are met at the local level - bureaucracy, demands for bribes, etc. But some of the blame has to go right back up to Putin, who is in the process of setting up a political system based on patronage rather than accountability. If corruption at the highest levels is increasing, how does he expect it to begin decreasing at lower levels?
