The Second Wave of Crisis: Stated Oficially!
Кalashnikov Maxim 01.04.2009

Vice-premier Kudrin, assistant of the Russian president Dvorkovich, oligarch Aven, vice-chairman of bank directors of Sberbank Zlatkis - now all of them started bawling about the second, destructive wave of crisis of tricolor economy. These creatures could not offer anything positive. Putin's government is practically doomed. Ukraine is doomed for chaos also. The program of saving actions proceeds only from us.

Government of RF Marked Down Economic Recession Minimum Fivefold
Delyagin Michael 28.03.2009

They may say that understating of rates of economic recession is harmless, for it is put in only in the forecast, while the country lives under the budget imposed on basis as if plausible nominal size of gross national product. However one shouldn't forget that the forecast of social and economic development - complex and ramified document, part of its elements are being calculated on the basis of relative, not absolute parameters - more than fivefold divergence of the last will make the forecast unbalanced. Besides many calculations having concrete - economic and even commercial value are made both in state and in commercial sector on the basis of applications of the government about decrease in gross national product in relative expression, not on the basis of its absolute size. Eventually, key reference point for economy is the value of economic growth (or recession) and many calculations have been already made on this basis and decisions according to them have been already accepted. >>

Putin's Mode Became Lossmaking
Delyagin Michael 25.03.2009

So-called "cumulative financial result" of the Russian enterprises representing balance of profits and losses on all enterprises but for small business, banks, insurance companies and budgetary organizations became one of the most evident displays of full breakdown of "stability" widely advertised in 2000th years.

Imperfection of this parameter is clear: on the one hand, it does not have universal character, on the other hand - the Russian businessmen, as a rule (especially in conditions of crisis when attraction of external capitals became impossible), mark down the profit being guided by a principle of 90th years "high profit is not good business but bad bookkeeper".
However the scales of change of its dynamics much more exceed all possible errors. >>

Power Economy. Where Does Crisis Live?
А. Zimbovsky 18.03.2009

Those from the proKremlin politicians who assert: "Crisis is not in the country - crisis is in heads!" - are completely right. To be more precise they were right, if they did not forget to specify - in whose heads! That new year is bad which does not begin with a good joke. That was what Minister of Energy thought. "There will be no increase of tariffs!" - he declared. It was good but right after his performances citizens received receipts from which they learned that payment for gas, heating, electricity was increased approximately time and a half higher. >>

The world financial crisis: opening an age of radical change in societal structure
Mikhail Delyagin, Doctor of Science (Economics) Director, Institute of Globalization Problems, Moscow 13.03.2009

The explosion-like development of information technologies has made ‘consciousness-shaping' processes one of the most profitable types of generally accessible business activities, and has called in question the existing systems of social control inherited from the past as well as the entire structural set-up of existing human societies. The current financial crisis is only one manifestation of an immense all-round alteration in the entire world order, comparable in scope to the Reformation (out of which there emerged the modern system of social organization based on nation-states). >>

One More Fine Speculation
17.02.2009

Announcement of Bank of Russia about intention to expand essentially crediting of subjects of economy on security of funds naturally led to the growth of quotations of the share market. Of course: if earlier, buying funds, operators of the market bought falling in price (both directly and by virtue of devaluation of rouble) garbage, - now they can put up these funds in Bank of Russia and receive "alive money" for them. Actually, to buy the Russian dunds is possible without money: if Bank of Russia all the same will take them on security, it is possible to take short-term credit to buy shares and to receive money of Bank of Russia under them. In conditions of sharp shortage of liquidity it is very important and subjects of economy already use it. >>

Is Roosevelt's Path Not for Putin?
А. Snegovoj 14.02.2009

One of the first steps of Roosevelt's government was prohibition of export of gold, silver and paper money from the country. Circulation of gold currency was cancelled. It was offered to population to exchange gold for paper banknotes under fear of imprisonment for 10 years and penalty in 100 thousand dollars. It made it possible to increase considerably gold reserves of federal exchequer, within 1934-1939 it increased more than twice. Today we notice how gold holdings of Russia are being spent for payment of debts of the Russian oligarchs and bankers to their western "colleagues". In result these "gold holdings" only for last three months decreased for 30 %. >>

How Much Does Trust Cost?
03.02.2009

Today it became definitively clear: Medvedev, Putin and "Edinaya Russia" misled people telling that we "are not threatened with rouble devaluation". It really does not threaten, it has already come. The country used to trust "its heroes" - "national leaders"! While the heroes, strictly speaking, "blag" from the screens of TVs and newspaper pages people of Russia. From last September till today they try to assure us that everything's good, everything goes according to some plan, everythin's under control.

World Crisis Should Be Done with Something Global - Either with War or with Revolution
Baranov Anatoly 21.01.2009

Actually world crisis begun is completely not classical crisis of capitalist overproduction which cyclicity and inevitability had been described by classics. More likely we observe not overproduction of the goods but overproduction of means of production and tools of regulation of manufacture. System itself based on collective manufacture and private character of assignment of profit is suffering from crisis. Educational level and degree of access practically to any information in globalizing society are sufficient that the overwhelming majority of workers understand injustice of such order, the more that absolutely unfamiliar to classics public factor - mass-media - "with home delivery" shows the degree of social and property stratification. >>

09.01.2009

The chapter of "Gazprom" Alexey Miller confirmed readiness of the Russian gas holding to renew negotiations with "Naftogaz" any time. "We are surprised with such position as situation with transit of the Russian gas through the territory of Ukraine develops very dramatically and it's not clear why "Naftogaz" of Ukraine is not going to negotiate nearest two days and observe it from the side", - the chapter of the holding said. >>

Bribe Won Medvedev
Аlexander Golovenko 07.01.2009

At the end of the year president Medvedev declared that he visa widely advertised package of anticorruption laws. And by that, according to my understanding, signed full and final capitulation before bribe. Paper mountain of "a strong lawyer" gave birth to another mouse. Not even the mouse but to who know what monster. Medvedev called corruption "system evil" to which he asked to give "system answer". However he charged a haughty caste of officials led by the chief of administration radio engineer S.Naryshkin to write the National Plan of Counteraction of Corruption. What "system answer" could it be?

Ministry of Finance Congratulated the Russians with the Coming New Year - the Heaviest Year after the Worlds War II
30.12.2008

Vice-premier of the Russian government, Minister of Finance Alexey Kudrin declared that budgetary deficiency and continuation of devaluation of rouble waits for Russia in 2009. Kudrin expects that in 2009 deficiency of the budget of the country could make from 1,5 up to 2,5 bln. roubles (from 50 up to 86 billion dollars), minister declared about it on air to information telechannel "Vesti - 24" on Saturday, probably, instead of a New Year's congratulation from the economic block of the government. The coming year, in opinion of the Russian vice-premier, becomes the most difficult not only for the Russian economy but also in general "it will be the worst year for economic during post-war time". >>

Government Practically Announced Accelerated Devaluation of Rouble
21.12.2008

The government and Central Bank (CB) of the Russian Federation do not plan to support dollar exchange rate artificially. Such application was made by the first vice-premier of the Russian Federation Igor Shuvalov at a briefing in Moscow. It means that "superfluous" consumers who today drop out of a chain of redistribution of the natural rent would be cut from the consumer market by growth of rouble inflation. Actually rouble has been already devaluating, only, as Shuvalov said, smoothly - so that the ones who have something could exchange it into dollars. The ones who have nothing to exchange - will pass to more modest standard of consumption (Doshirak, potato, groats). >>

The Main Cause of Crises and How to Cope with It
Аlexander Dmitriev 11.12.2008

There is such a concept in the political economy of proletariat developed in due time by Marx - deviation of a market price from the cost. This deviation pertains to any economic system based ON ELEMENTS of market satisfaction of needs. But if in case of weak and undeveloped market system deviations can be put in order rather quickly, in case when the system is very powerful and dynamical - and in general: the more dynamic the system is, - the period of deviation of the market price from the cost, as practice of modern capitalist development shows, is being extended. However in any case all ends in regulation which is felt as crisis. Crisis is directly connected to necessity to harmonize the cost and market prices. The longer deviation of prices from the cost lasts, the more powerful crisis regulation is then. What is deviation of the price from the cost?

TV-Putinka as Panacea from Economic Crisis
Cherny Dmitry 06.12.2008

Crisis showed well what the driving force in manufacture is. Someone cackled about political and economic death of proletariat - a pier, there is no more such a class... whom then by the thousands kick out from factories and building areas now? Dismissed and the ones who can't find work even as a shuttle trader - they will not watch TV at the moment when their refrigerators are empty. Any left-wing parties will freshen class consciousness of kicked out on the side by System. The smallest groups of left will fit, the most limited newspapers - and when comprehension of banefulness of the system will become not a version but total enlightenment for people, here reality-show will begin.
What is really important: crisis of capitalist system of values, of all System of public relations - should not be overcome for the sake of revival of capitalism. >>

Russia Has No Chances at the Present Authority and Ruling "Elite"
Surikov Anton 02.12.2008

New ruling "elite" at first had precise plan of action. It consisted in the following. Firstly, the Russian Federation, having initiated ruing of the USSR, at one stroke got rid of "heavy burden" on behalf of brotherly union republics. I'll stress that it's asserted not only by me. Putin spoke about that very thing in the beginning of September: At a meeting with members of international club "Valdai" in Sochi Putin declared that it was Russia that "was the initiator of the termination of functioning of the USSR" and that "if there was no position of Russia, the USSR still would exist".
Secondly, in result of "reforms" of Gaydar financing of highly technological, high technology industries was terminated, the Soviet working class and technical intelligency were thrown down a sewer. At last, thirdly, the consumption level of broad masses of workers was sharply reduced, the system of social guarantees was liquidated, inherent to Soviet people confidence in the future was abolished. >>
