Chubais on the forum where Medvedev was present, announced the degradation of the political life of Russia

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who, as you know, will not run for a second term, giving way to the current Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, indirectly “went” on Wednesday from the head of the Rusnano Corporation Anatoly Chubais. During the International Forum on Nanotechnology, RusnanoTech 2011, he said that Russia's political life has recently degraded, but the economic has developed. In this context, the phrase of Medvedev himself, said last year in an interview with The Wall Street Journal: “The President is the President, according to the constitution, is the head of state and the Supreme Commander -in -Chief. The Prime Minister is engaged in the economy” (quote from the transcript on the Kremlin’s website).

“In recent years, economic life in Russia has developed, and political life has degraded. In my understanding, this situation cannot last long. Sooner or later these two sides of the same medal, these two processes should supplement each other,” Interfax Chubais quotes. Medvedev’s reaction to these words is still unknown, although he was present at the forum.

In particular, Chubais personally demonstrated the president of the President of the Future store, where there will be no place for overdue or falsified goods and which will be opened in the third quarter of 2012. The peculiarity of such a store is that the goods in it are marked not by the usual barcodes, but by labels of radio frequency identification. This simplifies both the purchase process and control over the availability of goods.

The president even acted as the first buyer, having spent, as the agency indicates, 788 rubles. Noting that at first one of the obstacles to the development of such systems can be a human factor, namely, more trust from buyers to a living cashier than a machine gun, Medvedev nevertheless expressed the belief that the future is behind such systems.

According to RBC , Chubais periodically acts with critical comments on the authorities. For example, a month ago, he expressed concerns in connection with the resignation of the Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin, saying that there are no more such specialists in the current political configuration in the country. "

“This is especially dangerous against the backdrop of the second wave of the global economic crisis. In an adverse set of circumstances that cannot be excluded either in politics or in the economy, the consequences of this resignation may be dramatic,” Chubais warned.

It is noteworthy that in December 2010, Chubais said that he considers Putin’s return to the presidency’s post unlikely. To the corresponding question of journalist Dmitry Bykov, he replied that this scenario seems “less likely” to him. To the clarifying question, does this mean that Dmitry Medvedev in 2012 will go for a second presidential term, Chubais said that "it seems to him more likely," recalls the Border Street .
