There is, however, an aspect that obviously helps the Kremlin to create a new system – the notorious sanctions, isolation, and overall anti-Russian policy of the West. Domestic large entrepreneurs were faced with a tough choice: if you don’t like the Russian rules leave (the benefit derived overseas funds many have). That’s the only choice this evil. And it’s not in the sentimental motive.
Russia’s economy is firmly in the real sector, which the country does not take out, and the money generated here. Any of the most large fortunes have a nasty ability to melt, if longer fed. And for the Russian state in the West, it is especially important.
Also (ex-) Russian entrepreneurs are at risk and the attention of Western authorities and law enforcement agencies. Unpleasant incidents with the Russian businessmen there occur more and more diverse. In the result the Russian government has a more powerful lever for the moral of the nationalization of domestic business and force him to comply with the rules of the game that sets.
But really, that’s just how things go today. The Kremlin quietly, with absolute confidence in his power and full control of the situation, in turn, bends the oligarchs. Even much surprise and excitement the news did not cause. And the oligarchs-it is not some fake, not Chichvarkin not Polonsky, and from the first row of figures – Yevtushenkov, Vekselberg.
“Pressure on business”, if under it to understand the ease with which excited anti-corruption cases, is indeed the case. There will not argue. But that is typical – no reason not to run from the bloody repression of the regime. Neither of those are pressed, no rest, astonished at the excesses of Putin’s henchmen. Running, if only really all that’s dirty and you know that to forgive and to agree with you no one is going. But if there is the slightest possibility to negotiate (it is necessary to return “Bashneft” or to put in order Vorkuta CHPP) without delay, return and restore. Instantly. And apologize and say they won’t do it.
And remain in Russia.
You gentlemen feel the full power of the Kremlin today? You do understand HOW over the last 5-7 years the situation has changed in the country in terms of the relations of the Supreme government and big business? It’s not just “distance” the oligarchs from the political decisions that became apparent after the destruction of Yukos. This is a completely different level. They’re handmade all steel.
You see now why I laughed wildly when guru Runet political analysts told their audience about the Kremlin, which merges Donbass, because the warlock Surkov is acting in collusion with some oligarchs (apparently both Russian and Ukrainian)?
There is a need to come up with! That policy of the Kremlin in the Ukrainian crisis depends on the actions of Surkov and desires of the oligarchs! Rinat Akhmetov, Vladimir Putin dictates his sovereign will. Carl, did you hear that?!
Today Russia has a “power” aristocracy, already took the brunt of governance. The old oligarchic structures in this situation is given the honorable role of honest businessmen. Just business. And to be honest. Otherwise, the sword head from his shoulders.
In principle, this is a classic scenario for the initial stage of formation of the elites. If you are born a new political system, without reliance on the previous system, the power and resources the first step is the focus of the security forces (whether princely or generals of special services).
I did not knowingly keep saying – social laws unchanged. The laws of the social world is as permanent as the laws of the physical world. And equally important in our lives. It is time to begin to consider throwing aside all utopian armchair doctrine.
