The Ministry of Finance is going to strike at the Ministry of Defense

66
Gradually, the Russian financial system approached the bar beyond which a bright image of austerity budget economy appears ... However, not one of the spheres and none of the departments, realizing that the austerity of the state budget cannot do without austerity because of extremely weak economic growth, case does not want to start this savings with yourself. Proposals come from representatives of various services and ministries and at the same time address the need to start tightening belts in other services and ministries.



The other day, the “red banner” Ministry of Finance came up with another call for the search for domestic Russian reserves in the format of quite substantial savings. The ministry’s talk of saving is not taken away from Alexei Kudrin’s time, and no one is going to take it away, realizing that if the Ministry of Finance called instead of saving the budget to invest in various projects, it would rather be nonsense, and not only domestic. That's why he and the "Red Banner" Ministry of Finance to periodically pull us down, saying: there is no money! ..

One of the areas of future savings defined by the Ministry of Finance and Anton Siluanov personally is the so-called partial transfer of funding for military reform from the deadlines set in the plans to deadlines. That is, the idea is this: there will be funding, but not today or tomorrow, and, perhaps, even the day after tomorrow. According to the leadership of the Ministry of Finance, this will allow to keep tangible funds in the budget for a period of low economic growth, but when growth becomes high enough, funding will continue in full.

An interesting nuance. In one of his interviews before the start of the G20 summit in the northern capital, exactly the same was stated by the former Minister of Finance, Mr. Kudrin. If you recall his rhetoric at that time, when he spent his last days in his ministerial chair, then Alexey Leonidovich said that spending up to 20 trillions on defense in the next 8-9 years is disastrous for the domestic economy. These words and some consultations with partners in the USA cost Kudrin the chair. Today it turns out that the Russian Ministry of Finance does not just listen to the opinion of the ex-minister, but also takes this opinion, which is called, in his turn.

So, according to the plans of the Ministry of Finance, in the rearmament of the Russian army, which is currently under way, certain pauses and revisions must be made. For example, instead of the planned 70% upgrade of military equipment to 2020, now it is planned to stop at 50% rearmament, which will save about 5,7 trillion rubles. The idea is connected with the fact that 50% of new equipment is supposedly normal for many foreign armies, and we, you know, have threatened all 70. Whom do we want to surprise with these 70 percent? .. They are going to transfer a certain share of expenses, as they say, “later” ...

Nobody argues, 5,7 billion rubles of savings in current conditions is more than a solid figure. But if there is a situation in which in a year or two it will turn out that 50% new technology in the military is too much ... And let's stop at 40%: let's save another trillion 2-2,5. So to say, where fifty, there and forty, and where forty, there and "the current percentage is enough." At the same time, everything will also be explained by the low growth of the economy - can't you say anything ...

He intends to save the ministry under the leadership of Anton Siluanov on the rearmament of the Russian army and in the very near future. For this, it turns out, it is enough to reduce the percentage of planned production growth in the field of defense industry from 15,8% per year to "optimal" 10%. If you make such an interesting manipulation, in fact declaring to the military industrialists that they need to work a little less intensively, then the savings for the budget will be more than a trillion rubles to 2016 of the year.

However, on this the Finance Ministry Anton Siluanov, as they say, did not calm down. On the basis of gushing ideas about major economy, representatives of the main financial department in the country went into a rage so that they sacrificed the sacred ... In this case, the Saints found the central office of the Ministry of Defense, which the Ministry of Finance proposed to cut down on 10% with the motivation performance of duties overlap.

Here is one of the quotations of the representative of the Ministry of Finance on this account:

... it (the structure of the central apparatus of the Ministry of Defense - author's note) testifies to serious problems in the administration of the military department.


The Ministry of Finance also calls on colleagues from the defense ministry to reconsider the controversial decisions signed by the former minister (Anatoly Serdyukov) on cash payments.

Most likely, in the latter case we are talking about giant awards, which Mr. Serdyukov wrote out to his closest entourage, and decisions on bonuses, judging by the claims of the Ministry of Finance, also apply to current officials of the Ministry of Defense.

Of course, saving on the bureaucratic horde is a good thing. It would have looked even more potent if only unmercenaries worked in the Ministry of Finance, who would work hard to replenish the state budget without excessive bureaucratic fecundity.

The response to the department of Siluanov from a representative of the Ministry of Defense was as follows:
First, let the other departments put things in order, and then just for us. In the same Ministry of Finance, how many duplicate structures? And the others that the states are not bloated?


The official offended the official. A rare case in domestic practice, but in a “low-fat” economy, this is likely to occur more and more often.

If we talk about the central element of the Ministry of Defense, it looks like this: in addition to the Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu here - Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov (First Deputy Minister), First Deputy Arkady Bakhin, Deputy Minister and State Secretary Nikolai Pankov, Deputy Minister and Chief of Staff Yury Sadovenko, Deputy Minister Anatoly Antonov, Deputy Minister Yury Borisov, Deputy Minister Dmitry Bulgakov, Deputy Minister Oleg Ostapenko , Deputy Minister Ruslan Tsalikov, Deputy Minister Tatyana Shevtsova.

Total: one minister and 10 deputy ministers.
Let us see what kind the central unit of the Ministry of Finance has, which states that it is necessary to optimize bureaucratic personnel in the defense ministry.

Anton Siluanov - Minister of Finance, First Deputy Minister Tatiana Nesterenko, Deputy Minister Leonid Gornin, Deputy Minister of State and Secretary of State Yuri Zubarev, Deputy Minister Andrey Ivanov, Deputy Minister Mikhail Kotyukov, Deputy Minister Alexei Lavrov, Deputy Minister Alexey Moiseev, Deputy Minister Sergey Storchak, Deputy Minister Sergey Shatalov.

One minister and 9 deputies.

So this is why the Ministry of Finance declares the “bloating” of the state of the Ministry of Defense - Siluanov is one less deputy minister than Shoigu. But here, too, is not all easy. Anton Siluanov unexpectedly (apparently, also in order to save budgetary funds) decided to take in his ministry and 10 th Deputy Minister, who should be the former head of the Federal Financial Markets Service Dmitry Pankin.
Well - now full equality in the number of officials in the central offices of the two ministries! It remains to wait for anyone with such a bureaucratic equality blow to the opponent will be more powerful.

The main thing is that in order to replicate the statements about the need to save on the military budget, the ministers do not need to recruit for themselves a dozen more deputies, measured by the size of the central offices ...

            Sequestration of defense spending, yeah, how could I put Siluanov himself and his deputies on a payoff of 6340 rubles?
            And this is the monetary content of a civil servant of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
            Maybe it’s worth starting with the Ministry of Finance, putting this entire accounting company on state employees' salaries, with a bonus of 1010, in the amount of 10 thousand. on the snout in the quarter?
            And only after that, for the officials of the Ministry of Finance, the only convolution, and even then below the back, will make them THINK, and not depict the process of separating "thoughts"?

          Firstly, oil makes up a decent part of the budget, but not so much so that everything depends only on it.
          Secondly, the price is of course an important thing, but it must be multiplied by the volume of oil sold.

      ... everything is correct ... when the government is headed, with a liberal, favorite and especially trusted friend of BUSH, Mr. MEDVEDEV, then this will be the attitude towards the power of the state. Apparently, the West is very concerned about the independent behavior of Putin's RUSSIA ... and therefore the task was set - to weaken us. So the "best finance ministers according to the assessment of the WEST" ran ahead of the locomotive to smash our defenses ...
      It remains to hope for the PRESIDENT. He made it clear in an interview that there would be no general cutback by 5%, as DAM suggests. Separate articles will be cut ... IT IS REMAINED TO HOPE THAT THIS WILL NOT BE ARTICLES FOR IMPROVING THE DEFENSE OF THE COUNTRY.
      And it would be even better to "CUT TO" THE CURRENT LIBERAL GOVERNMENT ... Replace it with professionals.

      they are trying with all their might to prevent the President from raising the combat effectiveness of the army. One reason, then another ... And now they just said - we won’t give money)))
      it’s not a conflict of departments, but that the central bank is controlled by the Americans, who SPECIALLY wrote a constitution under the central bank ...
      who steers money and rules politics in the country. The Central Bank is not required to comply with the requirements of the President of Russia and the government. It is an INDEPENDENT structure (Article No. 75 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation), and the Central Bank appeals to the European Court for clarification. This is all spelled out in our 1992 constitution)))
      it is not possible to change the constitution, because Article No. 5 obliges to accept the cadon on the rule of changing the constitution, but this law has not yet been adopted and the deputies are as opposed to accept it ...

      Putin, for his part, has muddied with the Chinese leader his sovereign fund worth $ 100 billion so as not to ask the Central Bank for permission for his own money. Well done! and the constitution did not have to be changed ...

        Yes, well, is it so difficult to amend the Constitution? Something I did not hear about the particular strains when the terms of the deputy and the presidency changed. The flight has passed. But show me, who said that he would not give Vova money? Is Nabiullina appointed to them there? Here it is human gratitude to you. But actually this is not the main thing. Perhaps the main thing is that the current law on the Central Bank was not signed at all by the drunkard Borka, but by the current living and current Guarantor. And changes to it are regularly made. So who prevents the Guarantor from changing the Law?

But everyone, including many social programs, is undergoing financial reduction ... It is simply necessary to approach this issue very reasonably. It is realistic to assess whether all programs and all the funds allocated for defense are able to master this year. It’s possible to transfer obviously failed programs to next year, and there will be a reduction ... It’s necessary to somehow get out of the situation in which our country is now ... Only everything should be REASONABLE, without excessive fanaticism.

      What cries? !!!! According to the program, until 2020, there should be a modernization of up to 70%. We now must not stop at all. New equipment must continuously enter the troops. On those positions in the army where conscripts are little needed contractor. The contractor needs lodging and housing. So when he went into battle, his head did not hurt how his family lives there !!!! That program until 2020 is generally the minimum that is needed. And much more is needed.

          Talk dear nonsense. At our enterprise, the defense industry enterprises have modernized equipment at best by 50%, as far as the funds have been allocated. Companies buy part of the equipment for their money. I speak with knowledge of the matter, for it is engaged precisely in the lower modernization of defense industry enterprises. At most enterprises, one turning and milling complex with CNC accounts for 5 turning and 3 milling machines. WHICH DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUDGET IS NECESSARY IT DOESN'T GIVE WHILE !!!!

    The Ministry of Finance has a difficult choice. Putin has promised too much before the elections, a flood in the Far East, the Olympics - you need a lot of money, but the economy is not growing. And here, unfortunately, reducing defense spending is seen as an option. From a social point of view, this looks less painful than the abolition of maternity capital. But on the other hand, the defense order is industrial production, jobs, and as a result of GDP and taxes. Or maybe it’s better to spend more efficiently and stop cutting and looting? I think that then there will be enough money for all the programs, and there will still be ... But this requires the desire and political will of the country's leadership - and there is neither one nor the other. And while the power structure does not change, nothing will change with any budget revenues.

      I would suggest completely abolishing bonuses and bonuses for them (employees of ministries' apparatus). Provide the necessary: ​​housing, rations, transport. Give no money at all. Children go to special schools or universities, and maybe vocational schools, but only those that are located on the territory of the Russian Federation. They will not die of hunger and such work will attract people not for "a wonderful life", but for other reasons.

    Kerimov alone has up to $ 9 billion, and there are about a hundred such Karimovs in Russia's impoverished people. You can imagine how much money lies in an untouched pile, while soon the state will have nothing to pay pensions and child benefits from.

    When the Ministry of Finance declares that there is no money, then a natural question arises: "Where are they?" or "Where did they disappear to?" When referring to the poor growth of the country's economic indicators, the question also arises: "What exactly has been done to make this economic growth tangible?" For the development of the country's economy, it is not enough to deal only with the export of samples of B, W and the country's resources. It is necessary to have a developed, modern research, technological and production base. Old technologies limit the possibilities for promising developments; obsolete production resources limit the possibilities for the implementation of new technologies; obsolete testing equipment does not allow to confirm the quality of products that meet modern requirements and technical documentation; and outdated thinking, apparently, does not allow Mr. MinFin (God gave his last name!) to see all this and influence the situation as a whole. Instead of mutual claims and indications of dirty linen in the "someone else's eye", it would be better to come up with an initiative and a concrete plan to improve the economic situation.

    If we recall his rhetoric during the period when he spent the last days in his ministerial chair, then Alexei Leonidovich declared that spending up to 20 trillion on the defense industry in the next 8-9 years is detrimental to the domestic economy. These words and some consultations with partners in the United States then cost Kudrin an armchair. Today, it turns out that the Russian Ministry of Finance is not just listening to the opinion of the ex-minister, but also taking this opinion, as they say, in his turn.


    very interesting thing turns out. for example, no one knows from 20 trillion how much has been spent, and how much is left. And most importantly, it is not known what was spent already. And now it turns out that all this is detrimental to the economy. And maybe those 5,7 trillion who want to save , just the same amount that disappeared is unknown where? what

    In general, the article exaggerates somewhat. The conversation is about the transfer of part of the funding for the reason that the industry does not have time to produce the required planned amount of weapons. This is especially true of the fleet, this has been said more than once. Plus, the schedule lag in the development of new systems, both air defense systems with S50O, and with "Armata" and "Kurganets". For this reason, part of the costs have already been postponed to 2016. The fact that the program is now being adjusted since 2015 was said long ago, next year it should be presented to the president.
    Accordingly, we will have to observe these badges for a couple of years, both from the MO and the Ministry of Finance, and from all kinds of experts.
    I would not go to extremes yet; "The mustache is gone, chief." You need to wait for the updated program, and then draw conclusions. Realists, unfortunately, do not always coincide with desires.

    Everything is very simple ... From the side of the American financial infantry in the person of the same Siluanov, there is pressure on Putin's VTB, that is, it is proposed to reduce funding for those programs that go through VEB (there are pensions and social programs) and its VTB subsidiaries (military-industrial complex and law enforcement agencies) with to give functions of the financial mega-regulator of the CBR, which is known to be essentially a branch of the US Federal Reserve. And so almost all over the world, the ultimate beneficiary is the US Federal Reserve, which is a private office. True, there are several countries in the world that manage their own financial system. But by a strange coincidence, these countries have been declared the "Axis of Evil".

    But I don’t see anything new in the position of the Ministry of Finance - if it was not possible to directly crush the revival of the military-industrial complex, it will be indirectly, not by washing, so by skating ... It is easy to yell about the fact that the economy is weak, inefficient and there is nothing to be done for its effectiveness . Better yet, take it and declare that the official is cut because of the defense, and the defense because of the social sphere, cut both of these and the other fuck and invest the freed money in US debt, arguing that this is the fight against inflation. A fucking position - you won’t get to the bottom of it ... You can’t pour money in - because there will be inflation and the economy will not use it, it’s not developed, and you can’t develop the economy, because there is no money for it ...

Atom Serduchka with his subjects stolen is now not enough for ships, etc. He must be imprisoned for treason and betrayal of his homeland for life together with his minions and relatives with a complete 100% confiscation of all property. And it’s better to shoot. I goof on our government, he signed papers for all this and like he didn’t know what the Minister of Defense was signing, signing documents without looking, who believes that?

    You need to steal less and nothing will need to be reduced

    Theft unfortunately is only part of the problem. Although theft is a huge loss. Even our previous president, Medvedev, once admitted that the annual losses from corruption amount to about 900 billion. rubles. (I do not know the right where such a figure came from and how reliable it is)
    For comparison, Russia's budget revenues for 2012 amounted to 12.840 billion rubles.
    Another component is the quality of government. The mere fact that in the absence of world crises and any other reasons, at the beginning of the year we begin to cut the budget for all reasons is a sign of this. The military budget is not the only "victim" here. Social programs are also being cut.
    If at the level of private enterprises we have very clear budget plans, measures are taken to reduce costs and increase efficiency, then at the state level everything is exactly the opposite. The number of officials is growing, along with the costs of their maintenance. The number of investment projects initiated at the federal level is growing (RUSNANO, APEC in Vladik, Olympic Games in Sochi, Football Championship, etc., etc.). Moreover, many projects seem to be leading us forward, but in reality they only turn into scandals, increased costs and problems - what to do with the constructed facilities after the next "holiday".
    Looking at the federation, they "master" their part of finance at the level of the subjects of the federation and municipalities. Everyone has their own projects. The appetites of officials are growing, and to saturate them, new receipts are needed that are absent and, most likely, will decrease due to the quality of management and planning. The logic of officials that let's increase taxes to increase the budget leads to the opposite result. We raised the UST from 14% of wages for small businesses to 34% - automatically the business began to decline, many simply go into the shadows.
    They increased the fixed tax for individual entrepreneurs by 2 times and as a result, a massive reduction in individual entrepreneurs. According to official figures, only in December2012-March2013 closed - 456 thousand individuals. This is an entire army. Previously, they brought income to both themselves and the country. It is very possible that many simply went into the shadows and do not pay taxes. Someone enters the labor exchange and now we must support it.
    Looking at all this, I want to ask:
    - Does someone in our country really manage?

    I do not think that the total budget of the Ministry of Finance and the central office is the same. Maybe in MO more, or maybe not. BUT!!!!! in the Ministry of Finance, ALL polls receive bonuses, not just 1 + 9 (or 10 already). At the same time, no one is risking anything, and even in peacetime, the officers of the central apparatus add their heads (in Chechnya, how many generals and colonels, whom no one in the army loves, died?).

    That there would be money for the modernization of the military-industrial complex, there are fewer "thieves" projects: APEC, the Olympics in the subtropics, the Universiade, the World Cup. And the project includes the winter Universiade in Novosibirsk, EXPO in Krasnoyarsk. They steal wherever possible. Therefore, the cost of bad roads in our country is higher than that of good ones in Finland; a kilometer of a gas pipeline in the south of the country is three times more expensive than in the Czech Republic. And if the cost of oil collapses, then the khan and not only the defense industry. By the way, the Ministry of Defense does not stay away from corruption.
