Chubais told Zakharova about his merits in the revival of Russia
According to the head of Rosnano, although Zakharov is one of the most "active bloggers" in the government, he does not understand her desire to hold him accountable for the words "that a large part of Russia's population is poor or very poor." He explained that when Zakharova began her professional career 15 years ago, the economy was booming in Russia, the ruble was convertible, inflation dropped sharply, and the deficit disappeared completely. Chubais stressed that this was achieved, in particular, through the creation of a market economy and the revival of private property.
The fact that the country emerged from the devastation of 90's has its merit, Chubais explained, because he worked in four or five government structures led by Boris Yeltsin, Egor Gaidar and Viktor Chernomyrdin. He explained to Zakharova that at the time when he worked in the government, they did not have to insult and call their predecessors to account.
Recall that 16 of January of this year, Anatoly Chubais, during the Gaidar Forum, when discussing the power supply system in the country, said that "Russia is wasting its energy resources, and the main reason for this is too low cost of electricity for consumers." At the same time, he stressed that Russia is a poor country and a significant part of the population lives poor or very poor. In response, Maria Zakharova said that “Russia is the richest country” and asked Chubais to explain why people live in a rich country very poorly.
