Ivan Chumakov: "Cucumber instead of grapes"

“A feature of modern Russia is that the authorities almost do not raise this issue for public discussion, and I understand the reasons for such silence.

You understand how difficult it is to explain why pensioners have low pensions, while doctors, teachers and many middle and lower-level specialists, on whom the Russian economy rests, have salaries that are thousands, and sometimes tens and hundreds of thousands of times less than top managers of corporations with state participation or simply officials. And if “stupid” questions arise on this topic, then the answers boil down to the fact that the market knows better what salary to pay to whom.

Let’s talk about justice in the context of corruption and a lot will become clearer.”
