Putin

Putin has a sky -high rating in history, I can argue that this year it will be the lowest if nothing has changed dramatically. It’s just that so far our people have a post -Olympic syndrome and the take -off of patriotism on the Crimean question. But it is known that no one raises the ruler’s rating as a small victorious war. So far, this news is prevailing (and our controlled media do everything for this), nothing threatens the ruler's ratings. But closer to the end of the year, you will have to reckon with absolutely other problems.

Today, Putin said that we have a stable economy, they say normal growth in 2013, as much as 1.3%, Germany has only 0.4% (Putin’s favorite move, to choose with an obviously worst indicator and compare. He does not compare something with them, but it will be necessary, choose another country, for example). Inflation is minimal in recent years (though maximum in Europe, after Belarus, but it somehow does not sound beautiful). In fact, the last few months the ruble exchange rate has been falling steadily, which will certainly affect the increase in prices. The growth of the same GDP in the world in 2013 amounted to 3% i.e. 2.5 times more than ours. Now, what awaits Russia in 2014? Following the obligations, the growth of pensions and salaries to state employees will continue (inflation will still eat the main part of the increase), the expenses of the army and power structures will continue to increase, only there will be nothing to provide, the economy and industry are on the spot, for example in education and healthcare, the regions will be arranged by the Sixvestre. Our country has chosen a course not to develop and modernize the economy, but to increase force from which the effect is not enough, only expenses. As usual, economic policy is built on the fact that oil will be the road and its export volume is high.

In case of joining Russia, Crimea will also not improve the financial condition of the country, it was in Ukraine a subsidized region (about $ 2 billion subsidies), and in Russia this amount can be safely increased by 3 times, plus significant initial injections will be required. But this is quite possible to follow some economic sanctions from the world community.

So in the near future the people will feel the charms of our economic policy in their skin. In the meantime, you can enjoy the laurels of the winners of the Olympiad and "liberators" of Crimea.
