What does 拜 mean in 拜在俄做生意的中国有钱人所赐，他们的入境手续都不合法? In the following sentence over 知乎:


  最后，特别特别重要的提示！！！出门的时候记得带上护照，遇到警察，在他没有发现你之前躲开他！俄罗斯的警察待遇非常低，所以几乎90%的警察都会勒索外国人，尤其是中国人（拜在俄做生意的中国有钱人所赐，他们的入境手续都不合法，所以一查就给钱，一查就给钱，一来二去警察都知道中国人好给钱了），当然如果你懂语言且签证合法的话，也可以和他们沟通，一般遇到这样的，警察也不敢太过分，但总而言之还是躲着他们好。


According to Pleco, I found out that 拜 can work as the following:


  POLITE [used before a verb to show respect]


That might make sense in this context. But I have never seen that kind of usage of 拜 and I'm not sure if it is correct.

Or does 拜 here mean anything others?
拜X所賜, Y is a standard expression which means Y happens, thanks to X or if it weren't for X, Y wouldn't have happened. It may also carry all the sarcasm or irony contained in the English version. If you want to decompose the structure, it literally means acknowledging the bestowed/conferred upon X, this causes Y.

拜在俄做生意的中國有錢人所賜，他們的入境手續都不合法，所以一查就給錢，一查就給錢，一來二去警察都知道中國人好給錢了
Thanks to the wealthy Chinese people doing business in Russia, who enter the country without following proper procedures and underhandedly pay the inspection/police officers every time they get checked, all the police officers [who are inside this shady bribery business] now know [or more logically, are now under the impression] that Chinese people love giving bribes.
