Ilya Yashin: “Putin is tired of everything”

“In my opinion, Putin is tired of everything. The impression is that he is serving his duty answering all these questions.

Putin looked especially sad when he had to talk about the economy. GDP has gone into negative territory, people's incomes have fallen, prices are rising, and wages are being delayed throughout the country. The President admitted: the country is now living by eating through its reserves. But he promised that the situation would improve next year. How, due to what? No answer. The main thing that Putin did not say is why our economy looks like a rotten tree. Why hasn’t he done anything during his 16 years in power to rid the country of its dependence on raw materials and learn how to earn money, and not just sell oil and gas?

I made a face when asked about fees for major repairs. I know, they say, that people are angry, but what can you do - you have to pay."
