Pugachevschina and all that. Entrepreneurs - about what the coronavirus epidemic in Russia will lead to

Since mid-March, quarantine measures have been introduced in Russia due to the spread of the Covid-19. Air interview has already been limited and the design of all categories of visas to foreigners has been suspended , mass events are canceled , cultural institutions are closed , it is recommended that students refuse to attend classes, and employees visit offices. At risk even voting on amendments to the Constitution. And the Moscow authorities are probably preparing to introduce the emergency mode.

The threat of infection and quarantine measures taken against it not only change the life of society, but also inhibit the economy. What is happening can be an impetus for a large -scale economic crisis. First of all, under the blow was the field of services, tourist and transport industries.

The situation is complicated by the fall in the income of Russians-since the beginning of March, due to the pandemic of coronavirus, world oil prices have decreased, on which the Russian economy strongly depends (and in particular, the ruble exchange rate , which has been cheaper since March 9).

How large -scale will the decline be? Which of the entrepreneurs already felt it on himself? And why can quarantine simultaneously help - to bring the onset of a more technological future? The presenter of the podcast “What happened” Vladislav Gorin is discussing the crisis with entrepreneurs Ivan Mitin (“Bolotov.

As well as with economist Elena Korotkova, air expense Roman Gusarov and founder of Dashina Piroles, Daria Sonkina.
