Vladislav Zhukovsky: it Became clear why the authorities of the Russian Federation on pensions “no money” .
Vnesheconombank (VEB) in the framework of increasing liquidity sell “to Gazprom” till the end of may owned by the Bank of 3.6% of the shares of the monopoly over 132 billion. the Deal has been agreed at government level. Thus, the loss development institution, VEB estimated at 123.5 billion rubles, will be reimbursed by the government. It is noted that the sale of shares in gas giant will be one of the largest transactions in the reorganization of the Bank. Previously, the Bank had proposed to capitalize on the 150 billion rubles at the expense of “frozen” pensions of Russians. And only the Corporation has accumulated bad debts of 1.5 trillion.
Vnesheconombank as an independent legal entity, albeit with the status of the Corporation’s development, should himself bear all risksas other market participants. Somehow, no one compensated for the loss of legal and non-legal persons who have suffered in 2008-2009 to 2014-2015 in the collapse of the Russian stock market. No offset of losses from the depreciated ruble savings and savings of Russians up to 2.5-fold devaluation of the ruble in recent years. No one compensates for the losses of the Russians who were led to the state promotion of participation in the so-called public (people’s) IPO. And Vnesheconombank for some reason decided from the budget – that is, from the pocket of the Russians and of the business to allocate hundreds of billions of rubles to cover losses of its investment activities.
It is unclear why the Russian grandmothers, grandfathers, doctors, teachers, nursery staff should “chip in” to what you have in the Bank. Why when this occurs, the cuts in spending on housing and utilities at the Federal level, why do we have the third consecutive year cannibalistic budget sequestration in the best traditions of the 90-ies, as it was under Chernomyrdin and Chubais and Medvedev said that pensions “no money”?
Why does the huge amount of delays in payments of salaries to state employees, why is there delay in payments to companies carrying out state orders and cannot six months or a year to get the money from the budget? Why the financing of priority directions of development of the economy, such as technology, machinery, machine tools, instrumentation is reduced significantly, but the Bank who bought some stuff on the market, needs to save all of us, paying taxes, from the budget?
Thus we hear from the state that there is no money, to carry out pension reform to raise the retirement age. Now not indexed the pension to working pensioners, the fourth consecutive year that pension savings are withdrawn, fees are introduced for the overhaul, introduces “feudal payments” in favor of “Rotenberg” and “Cemenovich”. Enter “Plato” – both at the regional and municipal levels in order to patch holes in the budget, so that was money in the regional road funds. Why the increased in two times the excise tax on fuel?
And we again hear that we are massive layoffs in the regions teachers and doctors, over the last 15-20 years Russia reduced the number of hospitals and clinics and schools by 30-50%.
Banks have their licenses revoked, and the market there was a hole, according to official figures, 750 billion rubles, but really – 1-1,1 trillion rubles This hole that was created by unscrupulous bankers and people in uniform, who sat on the cut together to share with them. And I think that the regulator, the Central Bank is also involved in this – it must still check the law enforcement authorities and to invoke the responsibility, why for some is the mechanism that the Central Bank has printed 150 billion rubles, and then another 105 billion rubles., then another 200 billion rubles, the money was to support the “Rosneft” and “Gazprom”, the largest state-owned banks through recapitalization. But for others – all the small business can not scrape and RUB 50 billion To make it clear – the top 5 banks received from 2012 to 2014., shareware, 9 trillion rubles., and all the small business got 50-70 billion rubles. Formally, it received 150 billion rubles, but the lion’s share went to subsidize interest rates, to feed the bankers.
The hole in the huge VEB – 1.5 trillion rubles in There hang on for a long 2008-2009, when the Russian state was saved by our metallurgists and Ukrainian banks. There’s money and funding the Olympic games in Sochi at 350 billion rubles., which are generally non-refundable, because the Olympics was unprofitable. There’s also the support of our major raw oligarchs, the banking sector, a huge number of opaque investment projects. And so you can safely debt of VEB multiplied by two – this will be the actual amount of debt that we during the next few years will be to pay out of our pockets, but without our own consent.
What conclusions should be drawn from this situation? You have to understand why it happened, to conduct a total audit must be full disclosure of all financial records, analysis of financial and economic activities of Vnesheconombank. Must be the understanding of who, for what reasons were given loans, why such poor quality were credit committees who lobbied officials at the top of the loan or those entrepreneurs and businesses. Should be prosecuted and officials, and heads of Vnesheconombank and the Federal level of Ministers and Deputy Ministers, and large our oligarchs, who beat out the kickbacks themselves for support.
Yet theft is not punishable, while the circular and total corruption while corruption is not planted, and award medals and was awarded the title of heroic, at least a trillion, ten trillion, pour in the Vnesheconombank – it will still be trash, it will be a office for taking money out of the country.
No now is not the peak of the crisis, it is just the initial phase of degradation, the primitivization of the Russian economy, and it will go further. As long as people remain silent, while no control of the bottom for the top, forever we will be milking and knock out the last penny. We see that the economy is falling, funneling capital, is a record of the departure abroad of young people, the closure of 720 thousand small businesses over the past three years, a record drop in the standard of living of Russians and consumer activity between 1992 and 1998, the collapse of investment third year in a row – all this suggests that our economy is really degraded and simplified. And depression will prevail for a long time.
I have the feeling that our officials are doing everything possible to we from this crisis do not come out, and drowned.
