/ world immediately information/ One of many essential guidelines of conduct that we obtained from the American “companions” consists within the extraordinarily categorical angle to company ethics. Typically it involves absurdities: I keep in mind in the beginning of 2000, on the birthday of a buddy, we began a debate concerning the high quality of the administration of the liberals, specifically we talked about Khodorkovsky. And I offered an instance that confirmed that he doesn’t grow to be a lot of a supervisor… Think about my shock when one of many company, who was not even straight concerned within the dialog, threw an organization hysteria with inarticulate shouting, waving palms and different obscenities ( there have been at the very least 15 folks within the room at that second). On the similar time, he broadcast a easy message: “Do not you dare contact together with your soiled palms the genius of administration and enterprise Mikhail Borisovich Khodorkovsky!” Then he packed his issues and shortly left.
I, frankly, was somewhat shocked, however one of many witnesses of this “motion” defined that the fugitive labored at Yukos, albeit within the lowest high administration positions. And if any of the opposite company had reported to Khdorkovsky that he had allowed such conversations to happen close to him… At greatest, it might have been a lack of a really extremely paid place… Virtually on the similar time, the same factor occurred to me in joint work with the participation of a supervisor from RAO “UES Russia” when it got here to Chubais… In what’s the funniest factor, I’ve seen Chubais straight at work, however the contributors within the dispute – not.
And now, a beautiful image: it isn’t identified how the letter of the presidential adviser Andrey Belusov appeared about the necessity to impose further taxes on particular person oligarchs. Which, we are going to word, the oil business, for instance, pays anyway. I cannot talk about who and the way organized the leak, as a result of I don’t cope with political science, however it turned a truth, and the entire liberal public rallied in opposition to the thought: from the RSPP (which, as we all know, is the “union of oligarchs”) to the media. However probably the most shocking factor is that particular person members of the federal government, from the ministers to the primary deputy prime minister Siluanov, spoke straight in opposition to this proposal.
On the similar time, I draw consideration to a fragile circumstance. The federal government continually shouts that there isn’t any cash within the funds, despite the fact that it’s in an enormous surplus. However the issue is that every one the cash that goes into the funds, from the rise within the worth of exported oil above 40 {dollars} per barrel, the federal government takes in another country (apparently compensating the Western “companions” for the injury attributable to the counter-sanctions). Even Alexei Kudrin, who has not been seen to be anti-liberal, mentioned at this 12 months’s St. Petersburg Financial Discussion board that a rise to that stage was crucial, however was shortly put in his place by IMF chief Christine Lagarde. And as we are able to see, for members of the federal government, this instruction turned out to be considerably extra necessary than the issues of the Russian financial system and Russian residents.
So the cash is there, however the authorities is intentionally working a funds deficit. On this case, different options to the issue aren’t sought or provided, and the provide Belousov (so lengthy, as it is just a proposal) responded with a categorical refusal to even talk about. Opposite to the choice of the president … If Khodorkovsky was rather than Putin or Chubais, these folks wouldn’t be of their locations … Why are they afraid of something?
So – there may be cash, however the authorities intentionally makes the funds deficit. On this case, different options to the issue aren’t sought or provided, and Belousov’s proposal (and it’s nonetheless solely a proposal) was answered with a categorical refusal to even talk about it. Opposite to the president’s choice… If Khodorkovsky or Chubais have been in Putin’s place, these folks wouldn’t be of their locations…
And right here comes the important thing level that many don’t perceive. Virtually everybody, together with the media, each liberal and pro-government, sincerely believes that the members of the federal government, the heads of the Central Financial institution are solely officers who work for the great of their nation (or, on the very least, comply with directions). However this isn’t so! The issues on this planet financial system pose the query of actual survival for a lot of massive political teams, which, given their affect, will be referred to as elite. And our present issues are in some ways a consequence of world issues – in the beginning of the century, for instance, it was totally different, however after 2008, the state of affairs modified drastically.
For instance, we are able to cite Trump’s battle with the liberal (really monetary) political system in america. By the best way, we’ve additionally been a sufferer of this battle, as a result of the sanctions in opposition to us are, in some ways, exactly the implications of it. However it’s a incontrovertible fact that within the final decade a strong elite group has additionally been shaped to signify the pursuits of world financiers. It is for that reason that representatives of this group aren’t afraid of dismissal: if their group wins a political battle, they are going to triumphantly return to the sport! And if their group loses, then they don’t anticipate something cheerful, even when they’ve formally noticed company ethics. And immediately, either side throw all their sources into the battle!
I repeat once more, the depth of this battle is just not decided by us, so it’s pointless to search for inside causes for such acrimony. All contributors very a lot need to “stay collectively” because it was in the midst of the primary decade of the century, the issue is that this isn’t potential. My financiers want Russia to confess its guilt for the destruction of the Malaysian Boeing, for the poisoning of Litvinenko and Skripal, and above all for the falsification of the outcomes of the US elections in favor of Trump! In any other case he can have no option to get out, and due to this fact, they should go! And both Putin will do it, or a state of affairs have to be created during which Putin has to go!
And from right here follows the pension reform and the (upcoming) sharp rise in costs for client items and, basically, the somewhat particular response in opposition to the makes an attempt of the presidential administration to resolve this downside, which was not created by it, though, I am afraid, in immediately’s configuration of elites in Russian energy, that is nonetheless not possible.
