russian dictator vladimir putin admitted problems with russia\u2019s economy and publicly reprimanded officials from the economic bloc.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fAccording to putin, the official figure of 0.4% GDP growth in July is not enough. Therefore, he strictly ordered to ensure \u201chigher rates.\u201d In addition, putin demands that officials fill the budget by intensifying the fight against \u201cgray schemes,\u201d the shadow economy, and tax evasion.<\/p>\n
Such a sharp shift in putin\u2019s rhetoric, who until recently publicly denied obvious economic problems, indicates that it is no longer possible to hide the real situation. Propaganda will now move from silence to shifting responsibility onto \u201cbad boyars\u201d who \u201cfail to follow the president\u2019s orders.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, the main reason for russia\u2019s economic decline is not incompetent officials, but putin\u2019s aggressive war against Ukraine. It consumes enormous resources on an unproductive military-industrial complex and the army, leading to a record budget deficit, a collapse of industrial production, and falling oil and gas revenues. Therefore, simply ordering the government and officials will not help putin fix the situation or get more money for the war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
