"Kudrin and Chubais will support the state, like a hanging-rope," or WHO is in charge of Russia's economic policy today?

      Former Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin proposes to create a privileged class, and the main privatizer - to assign the last state property. A few days ago, Alexei Kudrin came up with an original way of dealing with the “brain drain” that has hit the country with new force in recent years. He seriously proposed to create a “privileged” class of “creatives”, which the state will take care of in a separate order. He expressed this idea in an interview with RBC television channel during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-19). “We have to create more comfortable conditions for the creative class, which today is creating new growth and new technologies, making the country competitively capable. Today, this class is not very comfortable in our country, "- told RBC Kudrin unequivocally to journalists.

       It would seem that quite a working remark by the former head of the Ministry of Finance is not worth the separate attention of our readers. Indeed, in Russia today there are not the most comfortable conditions for young entrepreneurs. But Kudrin, for some reason, forgot to add that in such conditions all Russians live today, with the exception, perhaps, of only a handful of oligarchs and their entourage. The problems of poverty, social discomfort and inequality in one way or another concern all citizens of the country, and not just those who are going to flee abroad.

       And against the background of these national difficulties, coupled with the economic war with the West, Kudrin wants to create a separate privileged class of those most potential fugitives seeking a better life. In other words, the former head of the Ministry of Finance wants to bribe those who do not like Russia and suggests that the Russian government should take care of them more than other citizens. Where else can you hear such a frank phantasmagoric nonsense, except in our country? But this is only the beginning.

         Developing the topic further, I would like to ask Kudrin - who does he consider the most "creative" class? Recall that the word “creative” entered the Russian language in the post-perestroika years. Active and successful traders, market businessmen and bankers began to be called “creative”. Before, the Russian language used the wonderful word “creative”, but, unfortunately, every schoolchild knows that it is derived from the verb “create” - that is, do something with your own hands and head, create something that you can then touch, look to read. What do traders and bankers create? That's right - nothing! Therefore, their profession can not be called "creative." Creators are engineers, designers, scientists, writers or at the worst of politics. That is why for people working on the principle of “bought cheaper - sold more expensive” they began to use the Latin word “creative”. According to the largest job search site HH, “creativity” is required for sales managers, realtors, sales assistants, purchasing managers and advertisers. And these people Kudrin proposes to determine the privileged class? But, excuse me, why is their work so important for the country and what is the genius of sales and purchases? As far as can be judged from the history books, over four thousand years of civilization, none of the people of these professions has created anything outstanding. And the notorious wheel of progress was turned by the very engineers, designers, inventors, scientists, writers, politicians and other people of simple creative professions. Perhaps it is on them that the economy should be oriented, and not on the “creative” guys from the shop of shopkeepers? After all, “brains”, “creating new growth and new technologies,” as Kudrin put it, are today's young employees of scientific research institutes and factory workers, these are all Russians somehow connected with science or technology. Doesn't the former minister of economics understand this? Or he doesn’t know who it is customary to call today “creative”? And perhaps, he knows everything, understands and just deliberately promotes someone's interests?

       Against the background of Kudrin’s words, the statements of Anatoly Chubais made by him on the same day and coinciding with his birthday also look remarkable. The odious birthday boy, who openly hates Dostoevsky and the Russian people, assured journalists of the power of private property taken from the people in the dashing 90s. According to the "red privatizer", the restoration of communism is no longer possible in Russia (??! He is mistaken - Ed.) In no way, because no one else dares to encroach on private property. And in connection with this great victory of capitalism, Chubais made another statement. Now that the people have finally calmed down, forgetting about the crimes and shame of the Yeltsin era, and the Communists are headed by a “fluffy, kind grandfather”, it is time to spend another wave of privatization (? !! - ed.).

       According to Chubais, too much of the state property is again in the Russian economy, and if it is fraternally divided between the oligarchs, it will have a beneficial effect on the state budget. Etcand this “red-haired birthday boy” sees nothing terrible in the fact that people may not like this idea again, and they will hinder it in every way. “There are always powerful lobbying forces, behind them are the interests of specific managers who will find you 159 thousand arguments that it is in no case their enterprise can be privatized,” Anatoly Chubais told reporters. With his whole appearance, the “people's favorite” on his birthday showed his compatriots that all property and all the benefits associated with it would certainly remain in the hands of the oligarchs. Of course, no one intends to share at the legislative level either with simple laborers or with young specialists. And that means that the “brains” will flow out further - far and reliably, and merchants, traders and speculators, warmed by Kudrin, will not bring Russia anything but foreign consumer and financial markets. In the context of the sanctions war, this will only weaken the economy of our country and make it even more dependent on the economies of hostile powers. After all, as the French philosopher and writer Charles Louis Montesquieu wrote in his time: “The financiers support the state, like a hanging rope”.
