M.Leontiev: "The economic policy of the government is an atavism"

In the scenarios described by Medvedev, there is no development

It has been two years since the approval of Dmitry Medvedev as the head of the Russian government. Experts analyze the activities of the Cabinet in the last two years, and the media convey the words of the prime minister that the Russian economy is waiting for two hypothetical scenarios.

According to Medvedev, according to the first version, the economy will show a slight increase, but an equally slight drop. In this case, the population will not feel any significant changes in their lives. The second option is hard and unlikely, but the state will fulfill social obligations in any case.

A well-known analyst Mikhail Leontiev gives his assessment of the activities of the Medvedev government.

Russia, voluntarily or involuntarily, will be affected by the external conjuncture

- Before I start commenting, I must make one important reservation. All that I have said is my personal opinion, in no way connected with the position of my employer. That is, in this case, I act as a private person, as a citizen of the Russian Federation, endowed with freedom of speech, and not as a representative of the company-employer.

So, in the scenarios described by Medvedev there is no development. It is excluded by the conceptual vision of the team that Medvedev directs. I mean the economic block of the government. Previously, Kudrin and Ulyukayev considered the external conjuncture to be the main one, which determines the pace of the country's development. In this sense, nothing has changed, their optimism or pessimism depends on the analysis of the conjuncture, and on how maneuvers one can resist this conjuncture from their point of view.

When the crisis broke out, it became clear that Russia would be affected by the external conjuncture: it would not happen like a skating. Willingly or unwittingly, through direct collapse of markets or through increased tension, through political turbulence or through political pressure, but this will happen.

To dismiss the government or not - this question I will not comment

Of course, it is impossible to be completely independent of the external market, but the fact of development should not depend on the external conjuncture. At the same time, the task was set to develop such a scenario for the development of the country that would take into account this circumstance.

Now I hear that we will switch to our own payment system, to pay for energy for rubles, it’s not for me to protest against this. But when I hear such a question being posed by people who are conceptually confident that these measures will lead to death, I have nothing to comment on. Something to say on this topic is only a callus on the tongue to rub.

It seems to me that such a formulation of a fork in the path of development is suicidal for the government. The economic bloc is in sharp contradiction with my understanding of what the Russian economy needs.

The government’s economic policy is atavism, not even appendicitis, but a tail. Under current conditions, the entire economic concept is an atavism, although of course, you can walk with a tail: a small one sticking out of your pants behind, I emphasize, behind. But dismiss the government or not - I will not comment on this question.

About how!
Is Medvedev a member of the CPSU?
Started working as an assistant harvester?
Was a member of the Politburo?
Together with a group of comrades introduced prohibition?
Tried to solve economic problems with the help of intensification and acceleration, and after the failure announced a restructuring?
Mediocre capitulated and withdrew troops from Europe almost into the open field?
Consistently betrayed everyone who believed him?
Tried to destroy the opposition with the wrong hands, having served time during the Emergency Committee in Foros?
Mediocre pissed off power and country?

No. No and no!
Medvedev is a loyal ally of GDP and owes everything to him. He's just a shit for Putin, therefore, in demand.
It's just that Putin can't seem to be a liberal (although for the Western historians he directly declares: "I am a liberal"), our electorate has other priorities.
But in order to pursue a truly Putin (liberal) course (and to get cones from the electorate for this), Putin needs Medvedev.
Needed.

Medvedev evokes mixed feelings in me, he’s not bad either, he’s not good, he says something, but nothing happens :(

I can say who exactly needs to be driven out of the assistants is Anton Siluanov, this is the person who causes distrust of himself ...
At the beginning of the year, as soon as the clouds began to gather over Russia, as there was a possibility of a budget deficit, so Antosha sang "We cannot reduce social expenses and responsibilities to the population, we need to pay attention to the budget of the military-defense industry, what kind of bloated it is" Well kapets , eprst, as if there are no other options))) And to reduce the staff of the Ministry of Finance officials, whose work we do not see, such an idea does not occur to him ?!

Regarding the situation with VISA and MAESTRO, he also recently announced that we would have nowhere without them. Nonsense is complete, we need them only for trips abroad ...

After such statements, one wonders where Putin is looking.

[w2000]

Yes, they are two boots - a pair. It is naive to think that Medvedev has even a drop of independence in decision-making. Both Putin and Medvedev represent anti-people forces, continuing the work of Gorbachev and Yeltsin to plunder the people of Russia. They are proteges of oligarchs and large industrialists, and will defend the interests of large corporations to the detriment of Russia's social development. Although what kind of social development can be discussed when a third of the population is below the poverty line, half of the regions are on the verge of bankruptcy, education and medicine have become de facto paid, and unemployment is breaking all conceivable records.

I have been ill with this for a long time, now I try to evaluate events more restraintly without excesses and extremes. I did not quite understand what you wanted to say. I am not a supporter of GDP as a whole, this can easily be checked by my comments. But I can easily refute your idea that one cannot be well done in foreign and bad in domestic politics. 1. To begin with, I think that domestic policy in Russia is bad, but for example you consider it excellent !!! It follows that you have a wonderful foreign and domestic policy of Russia.
2. You can also decompose exactly the opposite, and someone will say about the failed policy, both internal and external.

If they had not intervened, then it would have been normal. And on the contrary they put sticks in wheels. A vivid example of a small business. From December 2012 to 2013, only more than 500000 private individuals were covered up, and these are people who did not beg for anything from the state, earned a penny for themselves, paid taxes and requisitions properly). Officials decided to raise their retirement fees 2 times from 18 to 36 tr (Novosib), as a result, private traders closed, people kicked someone out onto the street, someone on the stock exchange, and the budget got a good hole. My wife also closed 2 food service stalls, there is a lot of fuss, and the exhaust is a penny. Now the Asians have turned around well here, do not pay taxes, work in black, fictitious propiska, wrapped chebureks on their knees.

[Andrey82]

The question is that no one in the government bears any responsibility for anything (Serdyukov and his "reforms". Disruption of defense orders, as an example - Bulava, refusing to fly normally. Skolkovo, which gobbled up tens of billions of rubles and is still unknown why? liberalization with privatization of enterprises). In general, bail, clannishness and, apparently, hopes for a spare airfield outside Russia, when everything finally starts to collapse (a matter of time and oil money will not help), they might ask for nanoreforms and privatization.

[Giant thought]

The economic policy of the Medvedev government is a road to nowhere, which will ultimately lead to the collapse of our entire economy. The liberal doctrine in economics has become obsolete in our country. And Medvedev was not given the chance to be the head of the government due to his lack of natural leader data. Remember when Putin was prime minister, what macroeconomic indicators Russia had were several times better than Medvedev, although the peak of the global crisis fell during this period.

You, alas, are not alone in your misunderstanding of the essence of the article ... I also do not understand how you can slander on page A4 and say nothing ... Just like the "hero" himself - Prime Minister D. Medvedev (behind his verbiage very little thought, specifics, suggestions!) ...
After all, the government of D. Medvedev, like his policy during the presidency, is nothing but a PREMIUM POLICY! Everyone perfectly understands that the VECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT is in those power structures that D. Medvedev headed or leads ... one is to INCREASE TAX LOADS ON PEOPLE, PAYMENTS AND HOUSING RATES, PRICES FOR TRAVELS (and this is usually 95% of hard workers and pensioners). .. TO PRIVATIZE EVERYTHING THAT CREATED BY THE FORCES OF MILLIONS OF RUSSIAN CITIZENS AND GIVING FOR PENALITIES TO NORWAYS (5-7% of the population of the country) ... EXEMPTION FROM AND WITHOUT SUCH ARE NOT SUCH GREAT TAXES FROM CUSTOMS CLEARANCE, CLEAR ... etc.
THOSE. - from a simple hard worker, a small entrepreneur, they squeezed all the juices ... practically without doing anything for an economic leap forward ... Everything that was built is either the backlog of the USSR or the beginning ... the mid-2000s ... but not at all times liberalism of Mr. Medvedev. We already had such a period - the EPOCH OF KINDERSURPRISE (the second half of Yeltsin's power) ... It ended with a Default ... no matter how it happened again ... Where has it been seen that the PRESIDENT instead of the prime minister would start holding meetings on economic development .. . to straighten the "bends" of the Government.
Therefore, D. Medvedev should shake hands as soon as possible ... to thank for the contribution made (as it is now being done!) For the collapse, to hand over the Certificate and send to write memoirs without the right to occupy any government posts or work in commercial structures ... pay only pension after reaching 60 years ... do not be afraid ... he will not die of hunger!

That's right, His task is to "squeeze" the people, no more.

Quote: KazaK Bo

After all, the government of D. Medvedev, like his policy during the presidency, is nothing but a PREMIUM POLICY!

A typical bourgeois policy of a model not even of the past, but of the century before last. I agree with your comment.
But why exactly this I had to understand from the words of Leontyev I did not realize
Regarding Medvedev, the president needs a prime minister, who, pursuing his policy, would take on all the bumps. Nobody loves him, so he is dependent on the president.
And the policy is determined by the president himself. The most bourgeois and predatory reform - the monetization of benefits - was being prepared when Medvedev was not yet in the government. So, our president himself is still a "bourgeois"
I do not perceive Medvedev as an independent figure. It seems to me that he is simply a conductor of certain, not the most popular ideas of the president, a sort of lightning rod. Maybe I'm wrong.

And we do not just need development, we need industry growth, the speediest rearmament of the army, the development of science and knowledge-intensive industries, but not (God forbid!) Skolkovo.
Medvedev needs to be removed urgently! The government needs specialists. The time of only "friends" has already passed And since Putin does not abandon his own people, then let them move to warm places in the reign of oligarchic monopolies - for the country it will be cheaper.

They are not only in government. They (liberalists) - at the head of banks, universities, all sorts of cunning funds, etc. In general, the country is entangled in bloodsuckers, like a cobweb. It must be torn, burned, otherwise the country of the khan. There is no more time, as well as much hope for Putin.

Quote: via75

Here rallies and slogans are a waste of time and the road to nowhere

I only partially agree. An example of an independent confirmation of this, as well as the 91st year. But if the liberals continue to dominate the country's economy and determine its direction, then new rallies and slogans are inevitable. I think Western "partners" will try to organize something like the Maidan. For this, for example, a shortage of food is just suitable (unexpectedly, but this was the case in 17 and 91) or a large-scale economic crisis. And how do you clash on the nat. soil? In general, a bunch of options. And due to the penetration of liberals into all spheres of the country's life, the Maidan in Moscow does not look fantastic. There is no more time.

this is the main reason why you can’t talk about the removal of Medvedev. The Cabinet of Ministers is currently a more or less united team.
On average, yes. (my opinion), but it’s definitely not worth making replacements starting with Medvedev. Maybe it’s better to clean up on the ground

The fish rots from the head, so you need to start not with the tail, as suggested by "via75", but with the head. Where the head directs, everything else will turn there. If an incompetent manager is at the head of the cabinet of ministers, then "... a more or less close-knit team" will amicably lead us to the edge.

However, Leontyev did not say that all this has long been described in the article "One Step Forward, Two Steps Back"

[Lukerya Weaver]

Listen, I'm not in the know, but can the Duma help the government resign? I read here that the Duma is considering self-dissolution and the elections in September. It seems like this goal pursues. Again, they write that the GDP has already twice proposed to Medvedev to resign, but he didn’t.

[felix34]

The abundance of lawyers in the country's leadership does not save us from ambiguous and "leaky" laws for corrupt officials, and even more from weak-willed and half-hearted decisions on the development of the Russian economy. Unfortunately, this is becoming more and more apparent. And the time was and still m. B. left for decisive action. The people can still be patient, if necessary. There would be action!

[Saratoga833]

In my opinion, the country's leadership should not have an abundance of lawyers, but economists. It would be more useful.

[ochakow703]

Really mediocre leadership. In general, this bunch, Putin - Medvedev, was immediately doomed to one-sidedness. Medvedev is completely incompatible with active Putin, and it is time to peacefully break these friendly ties for the good of the cause. Medvedev has Skolkovo, so let him play with iPhones. The prime minister must be punchy and active, like a battering ram, like Shoigu.

Very much even "you know". However, this does not solve the problem.
The solution to the problem and the problem, as such, (more precisely, there are many) lies in a different plane, namely, in the internal one and refers to the resources (and YOU yourself have almost identified this problem ... you just need to go a little further ...). There are other problems.

Sometimes one gets the impression that this prime minister and the entire cabinet are somewhere on the moon. Problems are solved by some unearthly.

Leontiev is just a competent person. From Wiki:

... M. Leontyev was born on October 12, 1958 in Moscow. Father - aircraft engineer Vladimir Yakovlevich Leontyev, mother - professor of statistics at the Moscow Institute of National Economy named after Plekhanova, co-author of the textbook "Trade Statistics" Mira Moiseevna Leontyeva.
He studied at the general economic faculty of the Moscow Institute of National Economy. Plekhanov, who graduated in 1979 with a degree in labor economics.

“Now I hear that we will switch to our own payment system, to pay for energy resources for rubles, then it’s not for me to protest against this. But when I hear this question from the lips of people who are conceptually sure that these measures will lead to death, then comment nothing to me."

For a long time I have not believed Leontyev - a slippery type .. And he always wags like a dog's tail ... Look, he will soon be praising the "consistent steps of the government" - either he gets it, or it will be awkward to write against the wind ...

[Velesovich]

Economic policy? Build production! Real economy! All these virtual gestures and schemes, when the Moscow office plankton with their VKontakte seats from 9 to 17 "creates" more for the country than hard workers in factories - are doomed to death. Until all the destroyed branches of industry and science are rebuilt, there can be no talk of any economy. So we will be glad that the Chinese allowed to build the pipe.

In the same way, Comrade. Gorbachev.

[Anchonsha]

Everything is not so clear, Mr. Leontyev. Take the same Russian payment systems in order to abandon foreign ones. Yes, there are none yet and they will appear somewhere in six months. Still how are you planning a message from abroad with banks? It is not clear what kind of intermediate links are needed, banks that foreigners and we in Russia would trust. So no need to roll the wave. Maybe somewhere Medvedev is still not catching up with something, but Putin is there to correct him.

Industry is abandoned, all efforts are concentrated on currency speculation, the Central Bank has turned into an instrument of criminal fraud, and the ministries are working together to develop plans to rob the people .

Listen, I'm not in the know, but can the Duma help the government resign? I read here that the Duma is considering self-dissolution and the elections in September. It seems like this goal pursues. Again, they write that the GDP has already twice proposed to Medvedev to resign, but he didn’t.

Where does the data come from?

Anyone, especially the head of the family, is trying to grow. Raise a family, raise children. it’s better to buy a car, to repair an apartment, to equip a summer house. This is considered as twice two. And here the resources of the sea. Scientific thought does not comprehend how much. And the result ???? Zero. And he is zero in Africa and zero. So we think whether that person sits at this place. The lord of time, and the real zero ruler. I am in his place, though not a very advanced person. and then I would do more, with such grandmas then.

MEDVEDEV PRIME - GOD GOD TO EVERYONE ... A PRESENT OPINION ABOUT IT IS FORMED BY SUCH "ECONOMISTS", like the author, they have their own categorical opinion about everything and impose their verbiage on others ...

No wonder he was nicknamed iPhone. Let the information war better be conducted on the Internet, if it does not cope with the government.

Medvedev is better at doing such things where you don’t have to make decisions. Type water into the holey barrel with buckets of water. And it seems like it works, and there’s no sense

Not verbose ...
And just as not "smart" ...

If Leontyev does not want to comment on the dissolution of the "Timurovites" in our government, then they will not be dismissed! And this means the atavism will continue and the short tail of our economy will grow, turning into a long tail that wraps around the neck. What, in fact, Timurites need! It's not for nothing that they sit there and pull us with all their might into American colonialism.

[Demon0n]

Well, everything is great, and now I invite everyone (including Leontiev, who has a habit of expressing himself in the "obvious to incredible" format) to answer the questions:
1) What is the "resource of power" (the resource required to "exercise power") in the capitalist system?
2) Who owns the real power?
The remaining questions, I think will become apparent after the first 2.

We should be more attentive.

[Intensive]

Apparently, the government adheres to a policy of zero economic growth. And they do just so much so as not to cause a coup d'etat. It seems that the world behind the scenes for Russia, as a specialization, has been assigned the role of a raw material power. Everything else: science, morality, defense, should slowly fade away. But Medvedev is a consequence, not a cause. They will take DAM away for the layman, there will be hope for the best, but it is unlikely to be better until the oligarchs conduct the casting.

my boss looks like him, a rosy-cheeked boy dreaming of running up the career ladder, there’s no benefit from him, but he’ll make a fuss that everyone is clutching his head, and he became the boss at the expense of an intelligent friend whom he set up ....
