Мichael Delyagin: "SouvenirDemocracy" - It's Total Tuning Minus Electrification of All Country
Аnna Ivanova 30.08.2009

It was at the end of 90s when conversations about guzzling of "the Soviet inheritance" threatening by scale technogenic accidents appeared for the first time. Then economists specified inevitability of technogenic accidents in housing and communal services in 2000-2003. Official propagandists do not get tired till now to laugh at this forecast though it proved true: in winter of 2002/2003 years the quantity of switching-off of heat in our country jumped up approximately 20 times. It was then when Ministry of Emergency Measures sent pig-iron radiators of central heating to Sakhalin and ten thousand Russians met New Year at street temperature. >>

Мichael Delyagin: The Most Destructive for the Russian Economy Measures Was Fulfilled under the Banner of Interests of Foreign Investors
Аnna Ivanova 26.08.2009

During celebration of Independence Day of Ukraine president Victor Jushchenko de facto represented his pre-election presidential program - people had to listen to it and accept for action. In particular, in economic block of his program V.Jushchenko promised "assistance to external and domestic investments, especially in context of Euro-2012. It is a question of tens billion dollars of investments, we should generate climate for them through professional power system". So, the question of external investments we decided to discuss with director of Institute of Problems of Globalization, Doctor of Science Michael Delyagin. The most awful and destructive measures for the Russian national economy - like partition of the RAO "Unified Energy System of Russia" under the pretext of electric power industry reform - were carried out under the banner of interests of foreign investors. Now collapse of this policy is being disguised using all methods including statistical ones. >>

Мichael Delyagin: What Should Workers Demand?
Аnna Ivanova 25.08.2009

About Common Requirements of Labour Collectives during Strikes and Mass Actions
20.08.2009

A meeting on a theme of development of uniform requirements of labour collectives during strikes and mass actions for the nearest period takes place today in Institute of Problems of Globalization. The essence of the problem is that today even in case of sharp, extreme forms of protest such as hunger-strike or continuing strike requirements which collectives put forward have situational character, are often inconsistent that facilitates struggle against them to the owners of enterprises and allows the state, acting on the part of the owner, not to accept joint steps, including of the legislative character, improving position of hired workers. >>

Diagnosis: Decay and Parasitism
Victor Tyulkin 16.08.2009

Management of Federal Migration Service (FMS) of the Russian Federation pleased Russians with news that shortly it would take measures for sharp acceleration of registration of foreign passports and other documents. For this purpose FMS plans to organize paid services to citizens for accelerated registration of passports. Thus the heads of FMS prove their initiative by desire to liquidate semilegal corrupted market of companies-intermediaries which turnover is being estimated in the amount of not less than 1 billion dollars a year (some experts suppose that the volume is 5 billion). Thus FMS covers its activity by references to the fact that such practice exists in many civilized states. >>

Rouble Ceased Strengthening
01.08.2009

Insignificant correction downwards of oil prices and share markets in the second half of the day on Tuesday appeared enough for a tendency turn in the currency market - dollar restored its position in relation to euro and rouble weakened in relation to both basic currencies. On the Moscow Interbank Stock Exchange dual - currency basket showed growth by 30,42 copecks up to 36,88 rbl. Dollar became stronger for a day by 4,7 copecks up to 30,76 rbl., euro - by 5,38 copecks up to 43,74 rbl. We will remind that yesterday dual - currency basket fell in price by 22,6 copecks up to 36,57 rbl., it had to gain only 17 copecks to June's minimum. Two weeks ago, on July, 13^th the basket cost 38,63 rbl. Restoration of oil quotations after a collapse up to $60 led to rouble strengthening last days.

Russia Started Eating Up Money for "Rainy Day"
Delyagin Michael 21.07.2009

Strained exaltations that the Russian state still has something to be spent - reliable tool of derivation of public attention from variety of inconvenient questions first of all connected with efficiency of the state policy. Really: having devaluated rouble almost by one third, the state simultaneously managed to lose almost a quarter of billion dollars of the international reserves - money which could be spent (certainly, having such a desire) on construction of the second Russia - better and more beautiful than today's one. >>

Inflation Fades - together with Economy
Delyagin Michael 14.07.2009

Inflation comes to naught: from April 0,7% it decreased to May 0.6%, in first half of June it made 0.3% that is twice below of the same parameter of last year. Thus, absence of demand "knocked down" arbitrariness of monopolies in all spheres but for natural monopolies. Absence of the demand, in its turn, is caused by unprecedentedly rigid financial policy of the state. For January-April money supply for the first time from before default 1998 didn't grow, it even reduced - by record 8,6% (in 1998 reduction made only 0,4%)!
Such policy destroys economy much more effectively, than inflation. >>

Мichael Delyagin: Russians Are ready to Welcome the Most Cynical Crimes against Power Hostile to Them
Аnna Ivanova 13.07.2009

Already in the beginning of 2004 I carried out relatively small (and, certainly, not representative) interrogation of several tens relatively successful inhabitants from several large Russian cities which I used to visit what they think justice is. I was shocked by full disbelief in possibility of any positive justice. People did not trust either in modernization, or in becoming rich working fair, or in notorious "rising from knees". Roughly speaking, the fullest reflecting their mood illustration of concept "justice" already then, more than five years ago, was "a number of lanterns along highway and official hanging on each". It is a terrible situation - but for the past years titanic efforts of a ruling kleptocracy made it even more aggravated. >>

Pseudo Innovations As the Threat to the National Security of Russia
Oleg Sergeev 21.06.2009

Immediacy criterion of introduction imposed by mobilisation economy of empiric, "materialist - amateur", academician Trofim Lysenko and his pseudo-innovation methods of increase of fields productivity in short terms allowed to gain "victory" over scientist -geneticist, "idealist" Nikolay Vavilov. Destruction of agrotechnologies and permanent crisis of agriculture in the USSR and new Russia was a result of it.Painfully familiar Lysenko's style is seen in pseudo innovation (fast and costless achievement of unique technical characteristics of sea rockets) of the Moscow Institute of Heat Processing Engineering which won competition connected with the project "Bulava" at the State Rocket Center named after Makeev - the developer of technological standard in this field. >>

"Effective Managers" Refuse from Adopted Children?
Delyagin Michael 04.06.2009

Social and economic crisis developing in our country, despite of soothing statements of official propagation not simply worsens position of children but also generates new, unprecedented even in the recent past tragedies.
In particular, active workers of some public organizations studying problems of family and childhood paid attention to not individual refusals of representatives of "middle class" of earlier adopted children developing into dreadful, monstrous tendency.The state statistics doesn't reflect this process, as profile departments categorically do not want the national account even of adoption process. However appearance of such phenomenon as refusal of earlier adopted child is indicative of deep moral crash of the Russian society. >>

19.05.2009

Even effective anti-recessionary measures of its government will not help Russia to overcome crisis quickly, it was declared by director of World Bank Klaus Roland who made public speech at the Russian economic forum in Ekaterinburg, RBC-daily writes.

Crisis makes Russians More Equal
Delyagin Michael 06.05.2009

It's a surprise but the share of beggars (people who do not have enough money even for foodstuff) practically has not grown. Having reached in October, 2008 historical minimum in 9%, in March it made only 10%.
Crisis influence showed itself in other things: in sufficient increase of share of poor people (who have enough money for foodstuff but not for clothes). Their share was minimum in July, 2008 - 22%; in September it grew up to 25%, while in march it became 31% (the figure is higher than before - default level in 1998). >>

«Great Depression-2» Gathers Strength
Каlashnikov Маxim 27.04.2009

Attention of all the world is compelled to the American economy. It is no wonder: markets and economies of the whole world now depend on its condition. On the second year of Great Depression - 1 in 1930, unemployment in the United States reached 8,7% of able-bodied population. In America of 2009 (if to count not only "totally" unemployed but also the ones who are partially occupied not from good life - sundowners) - unemployment captured 13,5%. One of these days economist John Williams and his colleague Pol Krejg Roberts - former assistant to Minister of Finance of the USA and ex-editor of department in The Wall Street Journal - made sensational application. They prove: if to apply today techniques which were used to calculated a rate of unemployment expected in days of last Depression, today we would receive 17,5%. >>

Bullhead Goes Reeling...
Delyagin Michael 21.04.2009

The first sharp reduction of Reserve Fund took place in March. If in January it insignificantly grew (from 137,09 up to 137,34 billion dollars) and in February insignificantly decreased (up to 136,33 billion dollars), in March - most likely because of the compelled additional charging of federal budget (and through it of all budgetary system), - it was reduced at once on 15,17 billion dollars: up to 121,06 billion dollars. However, that reduction was partially compensated by "swapping" of the Fund of National Well-being: after reduction taking place during last months (from 87,97 up to 84,47 billion dollars for January and up to 83,86 billion dollars for February) it increased a little bit - up to 85,71 billion dollars, however that increase could not compensate reduction of Reserve Fund essentially. >>

Crying Incompetence of Putin's Managers Brought RF to the Edge of "Gas Catastrophe"
Kalashnikov Maxim 18.04.2009

On April, 9 there was a gas conflict between Moscow and Тurkmenia because of the explosion of gas pipe line SC-4 to the North - West of Tashauz city, near the Turkmen-Uzbek border. Mode of Kurbankuli Berdimukhammedov accused "Gazprom" which sharply reduced sorting of Turkmen gas.
That is an external outline of the conflict. Internal is that authority of Putin's friend Miller put "Gazprom" across catastrophe. The Russian Federation risks to lose Turkmen gas which will go round about the Russian Federation - and to get the sharpest energy crisis.

50 Years Will Pass Quickly...
Оleg Sultanov 16.04.2009

Minister of Finance of Russia Alexey Kudrin, making public speech on April, 14 on collegium of Ministry of Finance, presented sad forecast of economic condition of our economy. You would agree, dear readers, that the result of economic development of Russia achieved somehow just slightly interfaces with vigorous messages of the president of the Russian Federation to Federal Assembly on the basis of which members of "Edinaya Russia" even made certain victorious plan which heading contained surname sacred for each member of "Edinaya Russia". >>

Anti-crisis Plan of the Government: to Shift the Burden from the Capital to Working People
Ivan Yanov 08.04.2009

From the very beginning of economic crisis the government, ministers and personally Misters Putin and Меdvedev constantly repeat about necessity to develop and put into practice "effective anti-recessionary measures" which will allow Russia to leave developed heavy situation at last. There's no doubt that situation is really heavy. However if we shall peer at economic policy carried out by ruling class thoroughly, we'll manage to see certain physiognomy of "anti-recessionary measures". It would be very interesting and indicative to look at reaction of the government if, for example, the workers of some enterprise "demanded" to lower tariffs for services of housing and communal utilities as in conditions of economic crisis "growth of tariffs for services of housing and communal utilities can't follow falling of real wages". I will take a risk to assume that they would hardly get anything but for rubber bullets, tear gas and charges in "extremism". >>
