Defense spending seriously overload the Russian budget

130
According to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian budget is already “pre-crisis”. By 2014, according to forecasts of the Ministry of Finance, the budget deficit will only grow. As a result, by the year 2015, to achieve a deficit-free budget execution, as the president of the country wanted, is unlikely to succeed. The main reason for all the small growth rate of the Russian economy. In this situation, the Minister of Finance of Russia once again offered to encroach on what his predecessor Alexei Kudrin had resigned in due time.

The very next day after the resignation of Alexei Kudrin, then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev confirmed that in the near future the country's military spending will continue to grow. It was the disagreements on this point that at one time caused the public confrontation of the minister and the president. The president then suggested that all those who disagree with defense spending then seek other work. According to Kudrin, the planned military spending at the level of 20 trillion. rubles in the next 10 years will be an unbearable burden for the Russian budget.

At the same time, experts now and then believe that such high spending on defense is possible only by reducing other items of expenditure. So Elena Penukhina, an expert at the Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-term Forecasting, believes that the growth of military spending is possible due to the reduction of government social programs and largely depends on the external economic situation. In the event that the cost of a barrel of oil drops below the 100 dollars, the increase in military spending will face serious problems.

Defense spending seriously overload the Russian budget

Later, after Putin publicly announced his election promises, Kudrin again noted that their fulfillment would be possible only if spending on national security and defense, as well as subsidies to industry, were reduced in Russia. This point of view was expressed by the ex-Minister of Finance at the conference, which was held at the National Research University Higher School of Economics. Kudrin noted that Russia needs to reduce defense spending by 0,5%, by national security by 0,4%, and by subsidies to industry by 2,8%. In his opinion, this would allow raising budget expenditures on such areas as road construction - by 1,6%, education - 1,3% and health care - 1%.

The most interesting thing is that in the 2012 year, and now the Ministry of Finance actually agrees with the position of the dismissed minister. According to Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, the Russian budget does not cope with defense spending. The Ministry of Finance has already asked the Ministry of Defense that part of the expenditures on the country's military-industrial complex be shifted to the 2-4 of the year. In this case, the decision on this issue will be made depending on the opinion of the military. Today, huge sums of money are being spent on the country's defense capability, unfortunately, today it is a fact from which we can not escape, said Anton Siluanov.

The reasons for the change in the Russian rearmament program were explained by Ivan Konovalov, director of the Center for Strategic Conjuncture. According to him, many contracts, especially multi-billion dollars, were concluded in a hurry. Something was not fully thought out. At the same time, a large number of contractors are involved in the execution of these contracts, not counting the lead contractors. Time has shown that a number of military contracts need to be shifted in time, some contracts need to be recalculated. Although, on the other hand, few people believe in it now. At the same time, we should not forget that the government, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Finance, and the country's armed forces have national security as the most important budget item, but this is just one of its items. At the same time, it has recently come out that it is this article that takes the most budget funds.


According to the chief editor of the National Defense magazine Igor Korotchenko, the reaction of the military department to the proposals of the Ministry of Finance will be generally quite negative. As where it is advised to shift the development or serial production of one or another weapon system to the 2-4 of the year, translated into Russian realities, we can speak of 5-6 or more years of delay. Today it is critically important to fully ensure the implementation of military programs, since in the 90-e and 2000-ies the financing of the armed forces was carried out, unfortunately, at the minimum level. Today, Russia is becoming a hostage to this, the state must pay its debts to the Armed Forces. Without rhythmic financing of the military-industrial complex, without modern weapons We will not be able to ensure Russia's security at a high enough level.

Deficit threatens Russian budget

The Russian Ministry of Finance lowered its forecast for the budget deficit for 2013 of the year - it was previously planned at the level of 0,8% of GDP, now it is now expected to be at the level of 0,6% of GDP. The deficit was reduced due to the fact that budget revenues increased by 129,5 billion rubles, while expenditure remained unchanged, said Finance Minister Anton Siluanov. Interestingly, literally in March 2013 of the year, the Ministry of Finance complained that the 2013 budget could lose about 500 billion rubles due to the “wrong” privatization due to bad conditions for selling shares of state-owned companies and an unexpectedly large amount of VAT refunds. But now this problem seems to have disappeared.

Next year, the budget deficit of 2014 will be at the level of 0,6% of GDP, but this is already a negative outlook, as the Ministry of Finance previously expected that in 2014 this figure could be reduced to 0,2% of GDP. However, this will not be done, since in 2014, a decrease in both oil and gas and non-oil revenues of the Russian budget is planned. The decline in revenues will be about 650 billion rubles, while maintaining at the same level of all budget expenditures, said Siluanov.


The Ministry of Finance cannot reduce budget expenditures in the event of a decrease in revenues due to the current budget rule. The main financiers of the country can only cut the so-called conditionally approved expenses, which next year will be about 350 billion rubles. According to Anton Siluanov, these funds can be reduced to ensure a balanced Russian budget.

At the same time, the growth of the budget deficit next year makes the fulfillment of Putin’s campaign promises practically impossible. Earlier, the Russian president said that by 2015, the country's budget would become deficit-free. At the same time, according to the forecasts of the Ministry of Finance, in 2015, the Russian budget deficit compared to 2014 in the year will even grow and will be 0,7% of GDP. The revenues of the Russian budget in comparison with the plan will decrease by 951 billion rubles, expenses will be reduced by 400 billion rubles due to the part of conditionally approved expenses, said Anton Siluanov. In 2016, the Ministry of Finance also forecasts the execution of the country's main financial document with a deficit - at the level of 0,6% of GDP. However, Anton Siluanov noted that the figures announced so far are a preliminary forecast.

However, apparently, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev shares the pessimistic forecasts of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia. So he acknowledged that the Russian budget, in fact, is pre-crisis. For this reason, financing of some regional projects may be stopped soon. First of all, we are talking about investment projects, for which private investors were involved. Currently, some governors have already appealed to the federal center for help with these projects, but in some cases the government’s obligations to private investors to co-finance projects will be suspended due to the “difficult” Russian budget, the prime minister said. At the same time, Dmitry Medvedev does not exclude that such actions may entail recourse to the court, but nothing can be done about it.


In turn, the Ministry of Finance, in order to improve the situation of the Russian budget, appealed to the military with a request to postpone part of the expenditure on the state armaments program to 2-4. It was done quite gently. “At present, we are considering the possibility of transferring a part of expenses from the Ministry of Defense. If there is such an opportunity, it’s good; if not, it means no, ”noted Anton Siluanov. The lack of pressure is easily explained. First, still quite fresh. story about how Alexei Kudrin lost his post because of disagreements on the growth of defense spending. Secondly, the current budget rule interferes. Recall that in 2010, it was announced that before the 2020, Russia is going to spend on the development of the army and the acquisition of new types of weapons about 20 trillion. rubles.

However, as early as in 2012, the Russian government began discussing the possibility of transferring approximately 20% of expenditures under the state armaments program over the 2013, 2014 and 2015 years to a later date. Then, Anton Siluanov, instead of part of the budget, suggested that the military use bank loans against state guarantees, as well as interest rate subsidies. In turn, the current Minister of Defense of Russia, Sergei Shoigu, according to unofficial information, back in March 2013, ordered the commanders of the families and types of troops before April 1 to prepare their proposals for reducing expenditure items.

Alexander Konovalov, President of the Institute for Strategic Assessments, believes that Russia still lives under the Soviet slogan “You can’t save on defense,” but this is wrong, you can and should save on it, then that if you invest most of the money in the military-industrial complex, the economy will succeed destroy much more successfully and faster than a likely opponent of our country would have done. In today's defense spending in Russia there is a significant social component (for example, the construction of housing for military personnel), but the defense order in the amount of 20 trillion. rubles - this is a huge number, which at one time hit even Putin. According to Konovalov, Medvedev, when he was president, treated the military-industrial complex as if it were a soda machine: how many coins you throw at him, how many cans he will give you. In fact, the Russian defense industry may simply not digest such a huge budget.


Konovalov believes that any modern army requires the development of human capital - without a good education, normal health care (think of the number of young men who are annually declared unfit for service), it cannot be built. The defense industrial complex is no longer considered as an incentive for the development of the economy. The effect when investment in the defense industry gives impetus to the development of civilian sectors works differently in all developed countries of the world: there the defense industry, which needs new technological developments in a number of specialized areas, uses R & D achievements of a much more developed and wider civil sector of the economy.

The Russian MIC, first, requires prioritization (do we need to get everything at the same time by 2020, do we need costly projects such as the Mistral), secondly, it is worthwhile to carry out a procurement reform in the MIC and go to the system of subcontracts market mechanisms. In addition, it is necessary to solve the problem of corruption, to work on the development of a contract army, in order for modern weapons systems to be managed by professionals, it is necessary to carry out systemic reforms that are not limited to simple infusions of trillions of budget funds.

        Kudrin is not an economist but a financier. This is his trouble. And we need to invest in the defense industry, investing in the defense industry, we invest in science, we are fighting unemployment, we are developing mechanical engineering, and so on. There will be shortages and the "pillow" can be torn apart a little. It is hard to believe that when they thought about modernizing the armed forces, the government did not calculate all the risks, considering the crisis, obsurdity.

          Well, with something I agree. But the minister also says the right thing. What you need to first invest in healthcare and education. A healthy population is a higher level of labor, live longer and work more. Education is the same scientists who will create the sword and shield of the country. These are upscale factory workers. But if you don’t keep all this and just push the billions into the defense industry, and it turns out that Mistral cannot create and buy it abroad, we can’t create your own UAV and buy them abroad, we build ships that were previously built in a year and a half for 6-8 years . And remember the USSR, which also poured billions uncontrollably when the general told me 2 atomic submarines, for example, 2 submarines were built for him. First of all, it is necessary to develop the social sphere and raise the level of labor and develop science by leaps and bounds. And then everything will be and the money for defense and development will be advanced.
          This is my personal opinion.

            By the way, Atrix, money goes into health care and the social sphere - I can say this, because I myself work in this area - just under the Health Modernization program, my region received several billion, which was used to purchase a lot of equipment for hospitals. And in the social sphere (I don't know how in other regions), but here veterans are buying and issuing apartments with federal money. Only another problem surfaced: the veteran, recognized as needing housing, after receiving an apartment continues to live in an old hut, and his children live in a new apartment in the city.

            "And remember the USSR, which also poured billions uncontrollably, when the general told me to nada 2 nuclear submarines, for example, he built 2 submarines." in the United States, the military-industrial complex is the main tug of the entire economy. Our problem is that we do little to produce dual-use products, we use little innovative solutions that are invented for the army, in the civilian industry.

The region constantly concludes contracts for targeted training with applicants and leading medical universities of the country - the applicant has better conditions for admission to the university, the scholarship is increased (we have - for the 4th, 5th and 6th years) and lifting over 1 million rubles for employment.

          He is neither one nor the other; he is a long-sold liberalist. It is not necessary to scrub loot and invest it in the West of the mind. If Stepashin had been launched into the Central Bank, then Kudrin could have been shot. Before he could completely ruin the army, Uncle Vova suddenly came to his senses. And here again, the Anglo-Saxons demand credit for the best prime minister, so he threw a trial ball through Siluanov.
          He himself built this raw material economy, and now he is pretending to be innocent.

According to the budget rule, 10% of our budget goes to the purchase of US government bonds, i.e., directly to the US budget.

              I agree that 4 years ago I quit the bailiff service, having worked there for more than 5 years. Who thinks thinks that they are there freeing "Velcom" in the FSSP. In general (I understand that this is not a popular topic, to put it mildly), officials work no less than others, and possibly more. And the bureaucracy, when solving various issues, interferes with officials no less than others and we also stand in line at the clinic and, oddly enough, utility bills are the same as everyone else's, and salaries (that's bad luck) are not so high, at least when I replace them in currently the highest office mun. services do not reach the mid-regional level. And whoever thinks that he is a bribe-taker, I'll leave you the address. Come, take a look, ask people around. The cliché is already sick of it.

Now about 20 certificates. (and they say there was a bureaucracy in the USSR) Do you think that the official is blissed out, chasing people for information?
              And it’s impossible to cut back on the defense budget, it is necessary to take an inventory of contracts, check cost estimates and collect penalties from enterprises if the deadlines are delayed. And everything will be openwork.

        You can’t reduce costs, but you also don’t need to swell recklessly, they’ll steal. You need to proceed from the realities: 28 out of 4 aircraft factories work, and if Sukhoi can make 50 cars a year, you can pay for 100, but in the end get 50. And money for the remaining 50 are stolen, as has already been done more than once. Therefore, an integrated approach is needed: restoring industry to the modern level and, as a result, increasing the supply of equipment to the armed forces.

      - exactly! Pay attention to what arguments lead here:
      The military-industrial complex is no longer worth considering as an incentive for the development of the economy. The effect, when investments in the defense industry complex give impetus to the development of civilian sectors, works differently in all developed countries of the world: there the defense industry complex, which needs new technological developments in a number of narrowly specialized areas, takes advantage of the research and development of a much more developed and wider civilian economy.
      - Konovalov better go knocking down horses - he’s better at it wassat In all developed countries, the defense industry may be working this way, but in the post-Soviet countries there is no "much more developed and wider sector of the economy." The screwdriver assembly of cars, computers, radio electronics and other things CANNOT BE CONSIDERED ANY OWN production, or even any developed "civil sector", the Russian military-industrial complex cannot rely on this in any case !!! Yes, even if it were possible - the technologies of the YESTERDAY (not even yesterday!) Day are given to the screwdriver assembly! These are the Konovalovs who really cut the defenses stronger than the enemy - some thread Serdyukov will listen to such and break wood. The main thing, Serdyukov, may sit down, but the Konovalovs will never sit down, although their fault here is to pull up such by the tongue! am
      It’s time for them, Konovalov, to remember that in Russia in the next 15–20 years only the defense industry will be the locomotive of scientific and technological modernization, because there are no more sectors of the economy in which there is the necessary concentration with respect to advanced developments and technologies, highly qualified personnel, and many years of experience needed resources and generally just good traditions.

It will be correct: a state that does not make the people want to feed its army will lead the country to the fact that the people will feed someone else's." - when there is no idea that unites the people, the country is vulnerable.

      Absolutely correct!
      But, I would like for the proverb not to be relevant in relation to our army: "not in horse food".
      In particular, monetary allowance for officers, sergeants and contract soldiers was seriously raised.
      But do they all correspond in moral (spiritual) and professional qualities?
      The facts of the outrages in the troops say no. Personnel work is weak.
      On the other hand, were commanders given, along with a high salary, the authority to restore order?
      No. The army is now "more at ease" than in civilian life.
      Give a man at least a million, but if he is not capable, or does not have the necessary and real powers, he will not complete the task.
      Contracts for the purchase of weapons and military equipment separate song, just mention Mistral and Lynx.
      The status of the defender of the Motherland did not undergo any special changes.
      A shameful decreasing coefficient of 0,54 when calculating a pension, by the way not applicable either to prosecutors, judges, investigators, or civil servants. employees, does not ambiguously show the real attitude towards the military: served, man, you have waste material.
      This undermines the spirit of the army. It turns into a place where you can and should not serve, but earn extra money, as in some trading company.
      And if you "get sick", then for x .., for x ..., such an organization. wassat
      So you also need to be able to spend money, and then, with our leaders, it’s quite possible to spend money, and to remain without a real army.

        It's not just about theft: Kudrin played the role of Captain Obvious. It was possible to cope with the planned defense spending only by making non-trivial transformations in economic policy. When it became obvious that no changes were planned, everything became "as usual" again. It is necessary to radically increase the profitability of the producing economy, and the monopolists and intermediaries must be strongly suppressed. Monopolists, such as energy companies, housing and communal services companies and other rentiers (living off inefficient services), suck the juice out of the productive forces. Business must realize that Russia is a country of opportunities for it. And unfortunately, nothing will happen immediately, as soon as the correct laws are passed: years must pass, if you do not push with kicks ...
        There are "areas of the main blow" in the economy, for example, agriculture, and if you conduct the right policy there, you can dramatically and quickly (within a year) increase profitability several times, if you develop the right infrastructure of this business with an export-oriented view: this is a "recipe "states" how to become an influencing power.

          Yes, of course, the Russian military-industrial complex has a "knight's move": to compensate for the gap in budget capabilities and plans to finance the rearmament program through export supplies. Today the turnover is about 500 yards: the profit that can be used is only a fraction of that amount. And the budget is over 2000 yards. And so far incomparable values, but financing on credit under future export contracts is possible.

        Well, let's take it :))))
        151 thousand - the salary of the deputy. + 35% - deductions from it to all sorts of pension and medical funds. A total of about 204 thousand comes out. But here's the thing - each deputy is allocated another 100 thousand rubles to pay for the work of the deputy’s assistants. Well, the same 35% of deductions - a total of another 135 thousand rubles, and all in all - 339 thousand rubles. per month or 4 068 thousand rubles in year. But this is not all - each deputy also has a quarterly bonus, and their size reaches 800 thousand rubles. But we (for brevity) will halve 400 thousand rubles per quarter or 1,6 million per year. Total, therefore, 5,668 million rubles. per year for one father of the people.
        But here we would recall the numerous benefits - a social package that includes free medical care, free relaxation in the best sanatoriums in the country, etc.
        Something about 6 million per year per person is already coming out ... And there are 450, for all of them 2,7 billion is already obtained ...
        But we underestimated something - the maintenance of 450 deputies costs us approximately 5,4 billion rubles. Http://moycent.ru/zarplata-chinovnikov/zarplata-deputatov-gosudarstvennoj-du

        buddy, I agree, the army must be strong. but the army exists at the expense that the country can afford. if a country cannot afford to spend a lot on the army, it is necessary either to optimize expenditures or increase revenues. revenues do not grow, on the contrary, the budget is scarce. need to reduce costs. let’s reduce the salaries of teachers, doctors, pensions for pensioners. they, as it was before, and now in places, will be miserable. but the army will be strong. the question is, why do poor people have an army? the poor will not need an army.
        as for the old days, then here you are mistaken. you think this was our Politburo, let's catch up and overtake America in arms. no !!! The Politburo, for the most part, had little knowledge of arms issues. always and everywhere- the army orders weapons, industry produces. So it was in the USSR. The army ordered, the government distributed orders for research and production. relatively speaking, a thread a member of the Politburo Grishin or Romanov understood little in armaments. so do not remove from the army its responsibility for the collapse of the country

We just made disgusting combines, tractors, cars because it was so planned. We ruined crops, Engineers stupid was like dirt. In the collapse of the USSR, the merit of the military-industrial complex is extremely small. It’s just our disorder, the rot of the State Planning Commission and the CPSU, the licentiousness of the people, who began to steal with might and main at the enterprises and led to the collapse of the USSR.

      Yeah. Found the culprit. To reproach the military with rations, and as soon as one could think of this, apparently an overly inflamed brain. Do you know what it means to wander from one end of the country to the other for 25 years and go with your family, practically to nowhere? In the best case, they will be accommodated in a hostel, or even in a barracks or a barracks. And what about getting up at night on alarm, and in the morning already in a "hot spot" under bullets?

EVERYTHING .. and this is back in the years far from the collapse of the country. and in the army they fed normally. Of course, instead of meat they gave lard, there were other troubles. but I’ve never been hungry in the army.

It seems that the task of these Gaidar liberal economists ruling in Russia and their ideological Western sponsors is precisely to slow down, NOT TO ALLOW the re-creation of a powerful Russian Army capable of supporting by force the independent policy of Russia that is unwanted by the West and referring to the need to cut social programs. is designed to stir up public opinion against the implementation of the military program!

    It remains only to declare an amnesty to Russian business so that everyone understands that in Russia theft is already the norm and is not criminally prosecuted and is transferred to the category of economic violations and has administrative responsibility (a penalty of 10% of stolen).

      no way! for this, panic articles with confusing text are written. the author focuses if oil falls below $ 100 then the budget will not pull. but THIS AUTHOR does not write that if oil DOES NOT Fall below $ 100, then what will happen.
      oil will not get cheaper, over the years oil will only rise in price. because the peak of production in the WORLD has declined several years ago, which means that oil becomes less and not more! and if the goods become scarce, it rises in price. The whole world is tied to oil and it’s useless to deny it! It’s enough to scare Iran like last year, immediately quotes crawled up as soon as they lagged behind Iran, prices stabilized around $ 100.

        I hope that there will be no fall. still want our army to be strong. but for the sake of truth, I note that you are not quite right. the fact is that oil is tied to production. and if there is a crisis in the world, then less food is needed and less oil is needed. demand decreases - oil prices fall. so it was in 2008 when there was a severe crisis. since then, in fact, Europe cannot get out of the recession and the demand for oil is supported only by China and the States.
        Of course, there may be political reasons for the rising cost of oil. for example, a war in the Middle East ... or just a hectic situation. but you yourself understand, such situations are temporary.

In China, India, and even in the DPRK, with an army of 1 million people, no one complains about the budget deficit, only we are the only such poor people.

    It would be a good idea to start by understanding our military doctrine and pressing problems of military development in order to figure out where we are going and not shy away from side to side. For 4 years we formed brigades instead of divisions, now we are recreating the divisions. What, the brigades are on the side? What will they decide to create instead of divisions tomorrow? It may approach this issue more seriously, with the involvement of experienced military leaders who are not yet available.
    Russia has not run out of brains. It’s time to finally decide what kind of army we need, otherwise we still can’t decide (contract, conscription, mixed recruitment principle...), and then decide how much money we need and what to spend it on. Not spend according to the principle - the more the better. Gigantomania has served us badly more than once.

    The problems in aircraft construction are obvious. A lot of money wasted. It is what it is. At the same time, there is no need to curtail the rearmament of the army. We must not forget that this is not only modern weapons, but also jobs and re-equipment of production.
    To the financial account. Yes, shortages are inevitable. What to do? And the same thing as everyone else - to organize a conflict in the Middle East. Oil prices will rise, warring countries will become exhausted. The main thing is to be able to drag the United States and China into the conflict. The one who will win that war......is the one who does not fight in it. This is the first
    Second. We just need to analyze what our money is spent on. Recently there was an article about the allocation of funds for anti-terrorist security of the metro. As always, embezzlers trample on this topic. We spent money, but there was no effect. I'm sure there are a lot of such programs. Here are the funds for defense.

    There is no order in the defense industry
    You can start with the simplest one - where I worked for quite a long time - NIIFI - a double overpayment was always visible in the price of everything purchased. Always and in everything..
    Further, technical management at such an enterprise is built according to a rigid hierarchical scheme.
    That is, we below are just “dust”... But above us - there are no Queens, there is their own party and the money is being cut on the sly... And why? - Because from the very moment I came to the defense industry, it was clear that there is no real punishment for failures, if the result of the project is nonsense - ".. then let's give them additional resources, people, connect something, stimulate them somehow. "
    Here’s just a simple thought - maybe replace a loser from the top party with someone who can do the job - better, and for less money, and faster.. - somehow it doesn’t come to mind -
    Well, how to replace the son of the mayor of Baikonur, or the leading scientific demagogue, he has relatives in...

    The party strongly disagrees with this.

    But it is necessary to imprison and cut the salaries of officials; they do not earn that money.
    So far we see nothing - friends are not imprisoned or shared with them, but rather both... In the defense industry and in the Defense Ministry, theft is no less than in the rest of the country... - there are no exceptions. Especially when they give a lot, and a lot is allowed...

    Here the question is more global: what determines the greatness of a country? The power of her army, the ability to keep half the world at bay? Or infant mortality, life expectancy, level of healthcare, science, education, crime? This is the question that each of us must answer for ourselves...

      If you answer based on ideology, then: - The greatness of a country is determined by the size of the territory and resources, subsoil. If we measure the greatness of the State (again, by ideology), then: - The greatness of the State is determined by the power (physical, moral, psychological, ethical) and potential (economic, political, military, nationalism) of its Nation (single people).

      So everyone. The power of the army, the level of healthcare, science, education, etc. Just here's an article about Russian defense spending we are discussing, not about the global greatness of Israel. laughing

      And it never occurred to me that maybe thanks to these tens of thousands of tanks produced in the USSR back then, today we have the opportunity to calmly discuss on forums about how spaceships roam the big theater.

    It would be better if they passed a law that every official who stole is an enemy of the people, introduced a firing clause only for officials, I think then fewer people would be so eager to get into power to steer and steal.
    He just started to rejoice at the GDP and started to raise the army, he appointed a minister wisely, and then again, with passion, he was still found to grow his mother by the leg

    I knew about this back in 2008! Alas, time put everything in its place much faster than 2020! Confiscation of property from those who stole will allow us to equip a couple of tank regiments!

    you need to steal less and then there will be enough money for everything

    A vicious circle, in order to get money you need to stop stealing. Without money, the army cannot be rearmed, and then Russia may disappear as a country. This is the choice. And not a single economist knows how to solve this issue without long-term imprisonment with complete confiscation. If Russia doesn’t exist, then who will need Sochi and Skolkovo.

    “Today, a huge amount of money is being spent on the country’s defense capability; unfortunately, today this is a fact from which we cannot escape,” noted Anton Siluanov.”

    Here it is, the fifth column.

    As for the fact that there is not enough money for defense, there is less need to steal, and pay less salaries to officials, including deputies.

    executions and Gulag hard labor are in most cases, of course, unnecessary, but a total purge, complete removal of thieving, incapable and unwilling to work officials of any rank from all types of government activities, and, if necessary, confiscation “to the skin”, up to 6 square meters housing per person, one set of winter and two sets of summer clothes, and a salary at the subsistence level - this is exactly what is needed.

    Investing money in the defense industry is, of course, good. But how they are wasted is disgraceful, because they steal without measure. It is difficult to imagine what will happen if the price of oil falls, and Gazprom is not working very efficiently.
