Thread: Блат

Hi how are you?

Could anyone help me understand the meaning of the word "блат". Would it mean charismatic? Like in a sentence "Просто чуть зарплата больше и блат". What would it mean in a sentence like that? Thank you

This idea can also be expressed as system of nepotism and cronyism (usually related to obtaining jobs and positions).

So, it's a noun, or a particle?

It's a noun.
