Economist commented on introduction of US sanctions against 35 Russians

The American authorities marked the circle of persons who they consider their own. Such an opinion “Lente.ru” was expressed by the famous Russian economist, director of the Institute for Globalization Problems Mikhail Delyagin, commenting on the US Congress representatives approved by the Chamber of US Congress Personal sanctions with respect to 35 Russians.

In the US House Committee, this week approved the amendment to the defense budget, which recommends Joe Bayiden administration to consider the imposition of sanctions against 35 Russians. The list includes officials and large businessmen among the defendants of the list indicates the Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, the press secretary of President Dmitry Peskov, First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Sergey Kiriyenko, Chairman of the Central Election Commission Ella Pamfilov, Director of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, Director of Rosgvardia Victor Zolotov, Head of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin, Head of Gazprom Alexey Miller, Head of Rosneft Igor Sechin, Chairman of the Board of VTB Andrei Kostin and others.

It is very characteristic that the head of the Congressmen was the head of the second largest state bank of the country, Andrei Kostin, but did not turn out to be Liberals, since in their Americans they do not beat, Mikhail Dlyagin said. “And they greatly marked the circle of those whom they consider not only other people’s, but also those who are considered their own. I hope in our state there are people able to make conclusions from this,” the economist emphasized.

The list did not turn out to be a special representative of the President of Russia on the sustainable development of Anatoly Chubais and Chairman of the Accounts Chamber of Alexey Kudrin. “See how vigorously Comrade Chubais agitates for the green energy, and as for Kudrin, ask the question whom the liberals from all possible figures would like to see the President of the Russian Federation? Kudrin. He is the number one and the only one in the list,” the economist noted.

Earlier in the author’s article in the newspaper Izvestia, Mikhail Delyagin, called Chubais and Kudrina politicians, “traditionally considered guides of Russia’s interests in the international arena, but in reality” the lobbying interests of the West “in Russia.” Chubais since the time of voucher privatization has become synonymous with destruction. Russian statehood, and the electric power reform managed to turn this industry, which is the locomotive of all the economies of the world, in the brake of the development of Russia, – wrote an economist. “Kudrin,” 12 years, who held the post of Minister of Finance, reliably blocked the possibility of the progress of Russia artificially created cash hunger and created a model of freezing money of taxpayers in the budget, realizing the principle of “Russian money not for Russia”.

The growing awareness of the impossibility of building relationships with the United States (and therefore with the West as a whole) even as a private person who simply having some real estate on the territory of Western countries will certainly consolidate the Russian elite – both around the national interests of Russia, So personally around the president.
