About that Russia – a country of contrasts knows of any our citizen, who has ever visited the capital. Levels of life on both inside and outside the Moscow ring road, are different from each other as Putin, Obama. No one Muscovite I do not agree it is pointless to sit buttocks at the office for a salary, for which Shakhtar in Novokuznetsk will be willing to risk his life, and combine from a neighboring Kaluga or Smolensk regions will spend the day and night in the cockpit of his “iron supporter”.
This unfair imbalance is the cause of the fierce hatred that almost all of Russia suffers for Moscow, considering it a parasite and is increasingly refusing to acknowledge this city as a part of yourself.
The problem in all its naked ugliness stood in front of the country, frankly, not yesterday and not even the day before. However, in recent years, the trend of its rapid aggravation. Partly due to the frequent global financial crises that cleverly use domestic lovers to turn up for any reason, the prices, and generally to catch in muddy water any disoriented fish. And partly because frankly mediocre policy that the Federal center is conducting in relation to the regions. And the main crime of hanging around in Moscow, “the best minds of the country” in front of the Russian province, is the delegation to the regions new powers, the implementation of which in practice does not provide financial. To invest in the development of my own earned money regions can not for the simple reason that most of them forcibly removed in the name of filling the Federal budget.
According to the budget code, Russian oligarchs unfasten the bins of the Motherland 13% of their acquired back-breaking labor income. From the regions in favor of the Federal withdraw about 60% earned. First and foremost, the VAT and the lion’s share of revenues from mining. Yes, and most delicious pieces of the production sector, for the most part, go to the Federal table of the host. For example, revenues from the defense budget come in all kinds of public concerns and then redistributed between the direct producers. A certain logic in all this, of course. For example, therefore, the state can support the development of promising products through trade is already running in production. But also the potential for corruption under such a system, spectacular.
If Vladimir Putin has seen this problem, or someone had to tell you in that moment, when Kudrin with Gref turned away, God knows. However, recently the Russian President has instructed the government to consider mechanisms for dealing with the terrible intergovernmental fiscal imbalance. In other words, to renegotiate the division of the state money in favor of the rogue because of the ring road. Incidentally, this step seems not just logical but necessary in the conditions when the thrice-cursed population of the economic bloc of Medvedev’s government again came up with nothing smarter than to get out of economic recession through the development of the real sector and increase GDP by reducing spending on social programs. In 2017, the year the Ministry of Finance proposes to reduce budget spending by 6% in 2018 for 9%, and in 2019-th again by 11%. Not hard to guess that under the knife “gang siluanova” first and foremost, get regional projects. And not grandiose, such as the construction of one little demand of the bridge on island Russian, and the everyday relevance to a routine such as education, health or housing. Type no money but you stay there.
However, despite the obvious usefulness of presidential initiatives, regional elites are unlikely to jump for joy and rubbing their hands in anticipation of Golden rain. The feds have no interest to lose such an effective lever as the right to redistribution of unpaid funds in favor of the most docile, tractable and ready for mutually beneficial cooperation of the governors. And, therefore, the “concept “, likely first develop, and then to reevaluate and Refine to the Morkovkina Shrovetide. This is the best. In the worst swing, as the late may orders. Unless, of course, and this time President, in addition to common idea, will not offer any mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of his instructions, no concept of punishment insatiable saboteurs.
