Partial mobilization revealed a number of problems that exist not only in the army, but also in the economy, where outright sabotage often reigns.
Economist Mikhail Khazin stated this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Now there is a war for survival. That is, who has more resources. Yes, we have our problems, Western Europe has its problems, the UK has its problems, the US has its problems.
About Us. Partial mobilization showed that there are problems – and very serious ones. As an economist, I am interested, for example, in the following question: what about mobilization reserves at enterprises? I have a great desire to raise this topic.
I know for sure that in previous times defense enterprises were destroyed in batches. Well, that is, a story when there was a defense enterprise, and then a residential complex was built on this site, and highly secret documents were lying on the street in a puddle. This is it - I just know such situations. And this situation needs to be checked. As they say, work it out.
Secondly, I am very glad that we carried out a partial mobilization, because I perceive this as a change in approach, including in the economy. Although Peskov said that this does not apply to the economy. But he said this on his own behalf. Why? Because it has already become clear that they do not look at all the efforts of Mishustin (and he has done a lot of things, the last, I would say, outstanding achievement is the abolition of the budget rule, I think that it will no longer be introduced, it will no longer be possible to push it through in the State Duma ), but it has not yet been possible to ensure economic growth and get rid of the falling standard of living of the population. Why? It’s clear why, because there is direct sabotage.
Previously, one could say that this is a different policy. And today it is clear that this is sabotage of the Russian economy by the monetary authorities. And something needs to be done about this. I am a professional, and I understand what is being done and how it is being done,” the economist said.
He also drew attention to the fact that despite the current relations with the West and the situation in general, the active withdrawal of capital from the country has not yet been stopped.
“I apologize, we are selling gold. Still. We sell to London and sell somewhere else. Why are we exporting it, gold? In today's situation. I don’t know what we get for him,” Khazin said.
