А. Zimbovsky 18.03.2009

Those from the proKremlin politicians who assert: "Crisis is not in the country - crisis is in heads!" - are completely right.

The Kremlin Carries out Special Covering Operation for Liquidation of the Russian Economy
18.03.2009

The government of Russia spent not less than 10 million dollars for services of the American PR-agencies during two and a half year, magazine "New Times" writes today. According to the American centre PR Watch, it was Ketchum which achieved that Vladimir Putin was named by magazine Time in 2007 a person of the year. Is it possible to imagine what will happen, if dollar will continue to grow? It will lead again to food-coupons and famine passing into revolt, or full decomposition of Russia on economically detached areas. To collapse dollar is necessary to develop national economy. PR has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, economy of our country is noncompetitive. It was one more time stressed by crisis.

But let's replace words with more habitual ones and it will turn out that Russia, according to the President of that time should become no less than simply BIG FUEL-RAW APPENDAGE OF WORLD ECONOMY. In practice it goes this way. Well, then it is necessary to say as it is, what is the reason to do a snow-job on own people, if it's clear to strangers. Or whether he wished to deceive himself, or he just «twirled the tail»? Only questions. >>
