Vasily Avchenko: The bills are rhyming

The main task of the Siberia.m.-Analya information and analytical site , the regional Radio Freedom Radio is an honest, balanced, unbiased, accurate story about the daily life of the most important territories of the Russian Federation, replenishment of the deficiency of versatile information about Siberia, the analysis of socio-economic processes that occur in this rich, which has long been developed, and largely unknown in the European part of the country. Read the most interesting reports and comments "Siberia. Reals" on the pages of the Radio Liberty site. ​

2000-ruble banknotes appeared as if the birth of the most well-known Far Eastern person-the rock star Ilya Lagutenko, who had chopped down the offensive with the “cleaner” of Vladivostok two thousand. No further than a couple of years ago, the Vladivostoks already nominated the idea of 2000 rubles from below, painted sketches, signed petitions ... Then they said that they did not see the appropriateness in the new face value. Now - they saw.

It's not too late

Regarding which regions to portray on new banknotes by a dignity of 200 (two hundred can take a niche with a nostalgic Soviet greenish "threek") and 2000 rubles, a national competition was announced - for the first time in history. But since money is the concept of inevitably political, it is difficult to get rid of the feeling that the competition was directed by someone. As a result, Crimea appeared on two-hundred-piece, on the 2000th brutus-the Far East. Namely, the Vladivostok bridge on the island of Russian is framed by gulls (the same, from a song that singed "in a familiar language") and the eastern cosmodrome in the Amur Region. The head of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation Elvira Nabiullina admitted: “The song has voted for a certain number of people who voted”-the aforementioned informal anthem of Vladivostok with the mummy-album of 1997 “Marine”. By the way, Lagutenko himself said that he would portray a sea fog on a new bill as a symbol of the uncertainty of foreign currency and navigation courses. And now the Primorski joke that another hit "MT" - "Eat!" - Dedicated to the topic of outflow of capital abroad ...

New bills will rhymes among themselves not only by deuces and zeros, but also by the fact that both of the Russian borders that have fallen with the money of the region: southwest and southeast

For the first time in recent history, the Far East appeared on money in 1995. Then, on the front side of the thousand -ruble - “Ples” depicted the Vladivostok bay of the Golden Horn and the Rostral Column at the entrance to the city, and the turnover was decorated with Rudnaya Bay, Rocks of two brothers and Cape Briner near Dalnegorsky. Everything is in a strange way: they say, the “girl” of Lagutenko composed on an old piano, who once belonged to the family of Brineers, coastal businessmen of the Swiss roots. At this very instrument to the little Vladivostok, Julik Briner, the future Oscar-hide, shabby-headed hero of the "magnificent seven" Yulu Brinner-once played lullabies. And now his son, Professor Rock Briner, calls himself a fan of "Mumiy Troll", and Vladivostok - "Favorite the Second House".

The denomination of 1998 abolished the "Vladivostok" bill: it was replaced by a metal ruble. Now Vladivostok has returned, also with the Amur Cosmodrome. Again, mystical coincidences: on April 28, 2016, the first rocket was launched from the eastern, and Lagutenko, who still spent about the "New Moon of April" in the 80s, received the title of honorary citizen of Vladivostok. Even if you discard the conspiracyology, the precedent itself is remarkable: for the first time, Rock Pesnya directly influenced the design of bills. It is not for nothing that Russian cosmists, who inherit (possibly unconsciously) Lagutenko, seriously considered the thought of material force.

The appearance of new bills allows us to draw far -reaching conclusions, since money is a method of communication between the Kremlin with the outside world. Recall this entertaining monetary geography: in 1995, Vladivostok appeared for a thousand rubles, Veliky Novgorod (Pyaterochka recently disappeared somewhere), 10,000-Krasnoyarsk, at 50,000-St. Petersburg and 100,000-Moscow. Three zero then fell off during denomination. It seemed that it was a ceiling, but time passed-and Arkhangelsk, Yaroslavl and Khabarovsk appeared on the bills of even larger nominal nominal, to some extent compensating for the disappearance of the Vladivostok banknote.

Now the eastern direction is strengthened, which reflects the course on rapprochement with the Asia -Pacific region and the new (for the first time after the BAM) fashion for the Far East with its areas of advanced development, free hectares and free ports. There is also the final "registration" of Crimea in Russia. The banknote with Sevastopol and Khersones Tauride, in which a transparent geopolitical message is guessed (our Crimea, ours!), Will become one of the most popular.

The new bills will be rhymed not only by deuces and zeros, but also by the fact that both of the Russian borders that have fallen with the money of the region: southwest and southeast. Peter and Arkhangelsk are responsible for the northwest, only the north-east remained "undisguised". Magadan? Anadyr? Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky? Nabiullina says that changes in the nominal series are not planned. So, there are no "dozens" yet. Which city could become the following: Grozny? Yekaterinburg? Nizhny Novgorod? Novosibirsk? Kaliningrad?

There are many cities in Russia, inflation has not gone anywhere. So, perhaps, times will come even cleaner.
