In the capital, the RSPP congress was held. The time is selected: a little more than a month is left before the elections, it is inconvenient to refuse the requests of the head of state at such a time, so it is possible, at least for a while, to “pull the blanket” on yourself.

The Congress of the RSP, of course, will be remembered by anecdote about the rape of the tractor driver (usually Vladimir Putin himself loves to put the public at a dead end with a kind of jokes, and this time he listened to the story told by billionaire Vladimir Lisin). But still attentive observers noticed several much more interesting things.

For example, the head of the RSPP, Alexander Shokhin, following a closed meeting of members of the organization’s office with the president, said that the business discussed with Vladimir Putin the “internal amnesty of capital”.

“No, as they say, is too hard to relate to the business that has come out of the shadows, but which formally needs to be checked by past sins. And here there should be some transition period. Unfortunately, we did not propose specific formulas, but agreed to talk to this topic with the government, ”said Shokhin.

He noted that Presidential Assistant Andrei Belousov, First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, as well as Ministers of Finance and Economic Development, received an instruction to discuss with the business, "there is a mechanism of such a kind that can contribute to the accelerated exit from the shadows of those who are ready to leave but are afraid to be convicted in past sins."

The US report on sanctions was also discussed, but “in passing,” said Shokhin. “It was proceeding from the already sounded assessment that the“ Kremlin list ”is a document that can have any development or not to have development. Therefore, there was especially no discussion of this topic, ”he said.

But the head of the AFC Sistema Vladimir Yevtushenkov called on businessmen to remember the negative impact of sanctions, which the US Treasury Ministry against entrepreneurs from the Kremlin List can introduce. He stated this on the sidelines of the Congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP), reports RBC.

“Sanctions are a serious noose,” he recalled, noting that businessmen in any case will have to develop a position, “how to live on with this.” “There should not be chapcocking here that this is nonsense and the sea is knee -deep. This will affect everyone, ”Evtushenkov emphasized. According to him, any “transactions in the West” will suffer from this. “No one buys with his own money,” said the head of AFK System.

Vladimir Putin himself at the Congress of the RSPP promised that in the message to the Federal Assembly, he would affect the topic of creating conditions for doing business in Russia. True, the date of the message is never a pound.

“We will continue to improve the business climate in Russia, to form comfortable conditions for investment in new production, the creation of high -quality jobs, to eliminate barriers in regulatory, to develop infrastructure,” the president said. “I plan to talk more about all this and in the message to the Federal Assembly,” he said.

At the same time, he promised to eliminate obstacles to the development of the economy. “We have a very serious mood, decisive to ensure that everything that prevents us from moving forward is cleaned,” the president said. In the near future, the government, primarily the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Economic Development, as well as the Central Bank, “will still work as it should” with large enterprises, as well as with associations of medium and small businesses, he added.
