Compensatory reform

The State Duma adopted in the first reading the "Law on the Villas of Rotenberg", which provides for the payment of compensation from the federal budget to Russian citizens and firms whose property was alienated by foreign courts. It is reported by TASS. The document was supported only by unicorn. Only 233 votes were cast for its adoption, while 202 deputies opposed, and 2 more abstained.

“Such laws do not have the right to be entered into the State Duma at all, to accept the document immoral,” said the deputy from the Communist Party Nikolai Kolomeytsev. He recalled that “laws that require money from the federal budget requires financial and economic justification”, while “here is a financial and economic justification-one and a half lines, more precisely it is not at all, although the amount of payments may be such that the budget will not be enough.”

The first deputy head of the Duma faction of the LDPR Alexei Didenko, in turn, noted: "We are offered to send the budget funds to compensate for the losses of large corporations and oligarchs. This is unfair." In addition, he, like Kolomeytsev, noticed that the document "was not financially calculated and how much it costs the budget - it is unclear."

Mikhail Emelyanov, who is the first deputy head of the reference faction, called the unacceptable "to pay compensation from losses to those who made real estate investments in Western Europe, the USA, hold financial assets there." "We can also reach the compensation to the loser on the foreign exchange," the deputy said.

The bill and the head of the Ministry of Economy Alexei Ulyukaev, who performed in the State Duma as part of the "government hour" on Wednesday, criticized the bill. “From a substantive point of view, he (law. - Ed.) In fact, extends implicit budget insurance to foreign assets, that is, in fact, we encourage the export of capital from the country in various forms, which is probably not the task of economic policy,” the interfax official reports . Earlier, the government has already given a negative review of the bill.

On September 24, the "Law on the Villas of Rotenberg" was introduced to the State Duma, Uneneros Vladimir Ponezhezhsky . On September 30, the Committee of the Lower Chamber on Constitutional Law and State Building recommended supporting the document .

Meanwhile, oligarch Arkady Rotenberg, a personal friend of Vladimir Putin, on October 3 categorically refuted the accusations of lobbying the law . He assured that he was not going to compensate for personal losses from Western sanctions at the expense of the federal budget.
