Summary of what Putin said today

Albeit from earlier last week, here is John Helmers look:

WHAT PRESIDENT PUTIN REALLY SAID ABOUT ANATOLY CHUBAIS, WHY, AND WHY NOW

By John Helmer, Moscow @bears_with It must be the sea air at Vladivostok that causes temporary clumsiness and misspeaking on the part of Presid

johnhelmer.net

It might seem that there are many private interests that are unsure of where the winds are blowing, and this looks back to January and renationalization:

No Russian or western commentator or reporter has yet interpreted Putin’s remarks in the context of the renationalisation of the methanol producer Metrafax; this occurred in August after officials won a Perm court order reversing the privatisation of the company because of initial violations of the prevailing law. This is despite Putin’s explicit warning to Prosecutor-General Igor Krasnov – renationalisation “will not happen”.

The president had not spoken as plainly when he and Krasnov met at the Kremlin last January. Then Krasnov told Putin: “We have continued to protect property interests of the state, primarily where third parties tried to benefit, based on their premeditated and selfish interests. Thus, more than 16,000 claims concerning state and municipal property have been filed with courts.

Moreover, we also continue to return state control over strategic enterprises that are important for our country’s security and defence, the control over which was illegally seized by third parties, including in favour of foreign agencies, the state control of which has been illegally lost.”

Putin appeared to be endorsing Krasnov’s line, replying: “I can see that recently, you have toughened control over securing the economic interests of the state, including in view of national projects and significant funds that the state allocates for the priority areas of the country’s economic development… Another priority is overseeing investigation and questioning, an important aspect related to the interests of the state and citizens. Of course, it is a complex issue and a special mission for the prosecution service. I am certain that you will continue working on this…. I hope that the prosecution agencies and all staff will remain tenacious and productive in the short-term and, of course, mid-term perspective. Thank you. Now, let’s address some issues more closely.”

Last comment:

A well-informed Moscow source, who supports the president and the war, reacted: “Putin is distancing himself, pretending he has never cared much for [Chubais]. Scripted or otherwise he is trying to ingratiate himself with the patriotic vote. It’s low-cost politically. It’s a stunt.”

Очень длинное видео (3 с лишним часа) с речью Путина и с ответами на вопросы. Пока без перевода и субтитры тоже не доступны. Пока ничего другого нет.

The Central Bank's decision to raise the key rate was caused, among other things, by the need to reduce inflation risks. "Yes, it reduces the opportunities for lending, slightly constrains the development of the economy, but a significant factor is the reduction of inflationary risks." "There are no good and very good solutions here. There are difficult solutions here. But they need to be taken in a timely manner. Both the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and the government have done this very effectively so far." "The government did not react in a timely manner to changes in the world market due to the rise in oil prices, but this is a regulated position. In general, manufacturers and the government have agreed among themselves how they will act in the near future."

And then, Putin said: "You need to ask Nabiullina".

Watched first hour of his answers (skipped his propaganda speech) a few days ago and it seemed to me (maybe wrongly) that Putin was not comfortable with answering question related to the CB. The problem as I see it, is with consistent Nabiullina's financial policy that works for big financial speculators and not for the state and national economy. Since the beginning of her running the Central Bank. There have been several clashes between MinFin and the CB over the years, all won by her for an unexplained reason. Sergei Glaziev talked and wrote about it, some of his articles in English are under the link in the next paragraph.

Two main tasks (legally imposed) for the CB is to keep inflation in check AND the Russian currency stable. Each time she makes important decisions, she increases key rates "to fight inflation". In effect, the ruble goes down, commercial banks stop issuing loans (if anyone is still interested) and make locates instead. With freed up the Russian currency exchange rate (done by Nabiullina back in 2014), national monetary reserves placed abroad (and immediately frozen), increased key rate first in 2014 to 20% and again in August/September this year to 12 and after a few days to 13% (not necessarily the final level), and next to none measures that would stop outflow of money from Russia, she was called "hostile foreign agent", "killer of the economy", "traitor", and more. She famously said one day: "The CB made a huge profit this year. Don't you want for it to be a successful business?" Either totally ignorant or plain evil statement.

For Russian speaking members, here is today's interview with Glaziev by Tsargrad where he gives an overview of the financial scandal; here is Yan Art's comment, transcript here, G-translated here; yesterday; Sergei Pereslepin said that criminal investigation should be opened into the Central Bank and MinFin dealings to find out who is sabotaging Russian economy, especially dangerous in war time.

Four days ago, Nabiullina, again, said no to a suggestion of currency outflow restrictions:

"The discussion on currency restrictions is now underway. It is largely the government's decision. I will speak about the Central Bank's position. If there is a need to influence capital flows that affect the exchange rate, it is better to do it by economic rather than administrative measures," Nabiullina said at a press conference following the meeting of the Central Bank's Board of Directors.

The head of the regulator specified that economic measures mean increasing the attractiveness of ruble savings. According to her, the measures should create incentives for companies to sell revenue to pay for current expenses, and not to take "excessive loans" instead.

On 11 September, VTB head Andrei Kostin proposed to introduce a limit on the transfer of funds in rubles abroad at the level of 100 million rubles per month. Such a measure, in his opinion, could have a positive impact on the ruble exchange rate. "In my opinion, this measure will not work, it will not be effective," said Mrs Nabiullina, commenting on Mr Kostin's proposal.

Yeah, companies should not invest in economy development and keep their money in banks. Rich ones should keep making money on currency exchange markets and export profits. Washington will be happy. The same time, for regular Russian citizens:

HOUSEHOLD DEBTS: THE BAR OF 32 TRILLION HAS BEEN TAKEN!

According to the Central Bank, the debt of Russians increased in July by 566 billion rubles vs growth of 636 billion rubles a month earlier. In nominal terms, the total debt exceeded 32 trillion!

Interest on the loans increased by about 5% for now. But do not worry, if you're lucky and live in one of the capitals, the government has something for you: bread and circuses.

On October 1, the "Capital Leisure" program will be launched in Moscow and St. Petersburg

Under the initiative, prices for movies, restaurants, museums and excursions will be reduced by 50-70% or available for free - the whole difference will be paid by the state.

Watched first hour of his answers (skipped his propaganda speech) a few days ago and it seemed to me (maybe wrongly) that Putin was not comfortable with answering question related to the CB. The problem as I see it, is with consistent Nabiullina's financial policy that works for big financial speculators and not for the state and national economy. Since the beginning of her running the Central Bank. There have been several clashes between MinFin and the CB over the years, all won by her for an unexplained reason. Sergei Glaziev talked and wrote about it, some of his articles in English are under the link in the next paragraph.

Nabiullina is an enemy of the Russian economy, to say the least.
Once in our country, the term "enemy of the people" was in use, and in those sad times, anyone who received such a definition was punished very harshly, up to the point of execution, and along with him, his family members were amazed in their rights.
Many people say that Nabiullina is an enemy: Glazyev, Delyagin, Khazin, Krichevsky, etc. and at the same time, no one speaks unequivocally about the reasons that this woman has been in the leadership of the Central Bank for so long. I must say that she herself does not really hide her commitment: in an early interview, she called herself an "IMF officer." This state of affairs for me suggests that some secret "agreements" are still present and the Russian government, for some reason, is forced to comply with them.
I am not a super-specialist in this field and I cannot say that I follow all the twists and turns in all the details, but I notice something and the situation with Ulyukayev has become indicative for me. I will describe it briefly. Mr. Ulyukayev was at that time the Minister of Economic Development of Russia. This was during the US election race and Trump's rivalry with Clinton. Mr. Khazin said in an interview that if Clinton is elected, nothing will change in the economic bloc of the Russian government, and if Trump is elected, there will definitely be some changes. As we all know, Trump was subsequently elected president of the United States and, as a surprise, after a couple of months Ulyukayev was arrested for taking a bribe. The first question is: has he not taken bribes before? Question two: didn't they know before that he was taking bribes? On sober reflection, both of these questions should be answered positively, and then the third, most interesting question arises: why no one could do anything about it before. The answer suggests itself: they did not touch it for the time being, for the time being, because this person was supported "from there". When the support disappeared, the person immediately took her place in the penitentiary. The situation is about the same, in my dilettante opinion, with the not-so-respected Mrs. Nabiullina.
The general conclusion from all this is that our Russian government is not fully Russian and not fully ours. By how much it is not ours and in what specific personalities, of course, I do not know. I only know that until we get rid of such dependencies, the country will not have proper development.

Spoiler: Russian spelling

Набиуллина враг российской экономики, если не сказать больше.
Когда то у нас в стране был в ходу термин "враг народа" и в те печальные времена тот, кто получал такое определение наказывался очень жестко, вплоть до расстрела и вместе с ним поражались в правах члены его семьи.
О том, что Набиуллина враг говорят очень многие: Глазьев, Делягин, Хазин, Кричевский и пр. и при этом никто не говорит однозначно о причинах того, что эта женщина так долго находится в руководстве ЦБ. Надо сказать, что и сама она не очень скрывает свою приверженность: в одном из ранних интервью она назвала себя "офицером МВФ". Такое положение вещей для меня говорит о том, что некие тайные "договорняки" по прежнему присутствуют и Российская власть по каким то причинам вынуждена их соблюдать.
Я не являюсь суперспециалистом в этой области и не могу сказать, что отслеживаю все перипетии во всех подробностях, но кое что замечаю и для меня показательной стала ситуация с Улюкаевым. Опишу вкратце. Господин Улюкаев был в тот момент министром экономического развития России. Это было во время предвыборной гонки в США и соперничества Трампа с Клинтон. Господин Хазин сказал в одном из интервью, что в случае, если будет избрана Клинтон, в экономическом блоке правительства России ничего не изменится, а в случае если будет выбран Трамп, то однозначно будут некоторые изменения. Как мы все знаем, впоследствии президентом США был выбран Трамп и, вот неожиданность то, через пару месяцев Улюкаева арестовывают за получение взятки. Вопрос первый: он что раньше взяток не брал? Вопрос второй: раньше не знали, что он берет взятки? По трезвому размышлению на оба эти вопроса надо дать положительный ответ и тогда возникает третий, самый интересный вопрос: почему раньше с этим никто ничего поделать не мог. Ответ напрашивается сам собой: не трогали до поры, до времени потому что данную персоналию поддерживали " оттуда". Когда поддержка пропала, персоналия сразу заняла положенное ей место в пенитенциарном учреждении. Примерно такая же ситуация, на мой дилетантский взгляд и с не очень мною уважаемой госпожой Набиуллиной.
Общий вывод из всего этого такой, что наша Российская власть не в полной мере российская и не в полной мере наша. На сколько она не наша и в каких конкретно персоналиях я конечно же не знаю. Знаю только, что пока мы не избавимся от подобных зависимостей, то должного развития у страны не будет.

From the October 2022 Session:

Q: (Adobe) What percentage of the Russian elites are not with Putin and waiting for a time to cause problems or change Russia's direction?

A: 37 percent

That is 37% of the Russian elites, not the whole Russian population. What percentage of the 150 million Russians would be considered 'elites", a half of a percent maybe?Therefore, if it's 37% of about 0,005% of the population, that's a still about 270 thousand powerful people.

One do not have to be elite to be powerful. I do not think that it is right o assume that it is "only" 270k.

 

[Adobe]

37%, as Niall said, “is not bad”, 63% for Putin…right? A few thoughts on that.

The majority are, or were, with Putin, and probably with the advents of more sanctions, Russian hating, and drone attracts, I “would guess” that that number is higher now on the Putin side. How-ever…. Even 20% of internationally-connected, very-wealthy subversives are nothing to laugh at. So, no resting under the shady trees just yet.

What concerns me is when it comes to the “covid thing” and the “CBDC thing” Russia is “all in”. So are China, US, and well, every county is pretty much on board with those two subjects. So, the consortium isn’t dead yet. Wars and distractions are everywhere, but those two issues still seem to be globally agreed upon.

 

[youlik]

What concerns me is when it comes to the “covid thing” and the “CBDC thing” Russia is “all in”.

A very accurate remark. On my own behalf, I want to add that I am not sure that I have heard anything from Putin about the CBDC, but in general, he touched on the issues of "digitalization" of everything and everything many times. Just yesterday, Putin signed a law on a digital passport.

Putin signed a decree on a digital passport: what does this mean and how to confirm your identity now
It will be possible to confirm the identity from the phone with the help of Public Services

The decree signed by the president on "providing information from documents" was published on the evening of September 18. In fact, he legalizes an electronic passport in Russia.

We tell you what exactly we are talking about.

Now you can confirm your identity with the police or at the bank only if you have a passport with you. There are no other alternatives. But now the document can be replaced with a profile on Public Services, open on the phone.

Approximately according to the same logic, the system will work for legal entities. The company's data can be shown from a phone or computer using a profile on Public Services.

At least that's how it should work in theory. There is a clarification in Vladimir Putin's decree: a digital passport can be used only in "cases determined by the government in coordination with the FSB."

So far, there is simply no list of these cases, so it is not clear how to use this digital passport. The decree gives the Cabinet of Ministers three months to create a "procedure for using a mobile application."

A digital passport will also include not only a passport, but also other documents. For example, a driver's license. But the full list of documents worthy of a digital passport, again, will be determined by the Cabinet of Ministers within 3 months.

Очень точное замечание. От себя хочу добавить, что я не уверен в том, что слышал что либо от Путина насчет именно CBDC, однако вообще вопросов "цифровизации" всего и вся он касался много раз. Не далее как вчера Путин подписал закон о цифровом паспорте.

"And where’s the coverage? THIS HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO."

Legal "hook-makers" have found a clue.

Fraud in the transfer of Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR was revealed

The Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, when issuing a decree on the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the Ukrainian SSR, referred to a non-existent document, the co-chairman of the special working group, the head of the committee on legislation of the Crimean parliament Sergey Trofimov told RIA Novosti.

"In its decree, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR decides to approve the joint submission of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviets of the RSFSR and the Ukrainian SSR on the transfer of the Crimean region, but such a document did not exist in nature," he said.

When studying the archives, the working group, according to Trofimov, did not find a joint representation of the presidium of the Supreme Soviets of the two republics.

"There were separate resolutions of the presidium of the republics, different both in form and content, but no joint submission was accepted," the deputy stressed.

According to him, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR did not make a decision on the transfer of Crimea, did not approve the new borders of the republics, but simply approved the decree of its presidium, which basically refers to a non-existent act and decisions taken outside the competence of the presidium of the Supreme Soviets of the two republics, in violation of all constitutional procedures.

As Trofimov noted, during the transfer of Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR, the legal foundations of three constitutions were grossly violated: the USSR, the RSFSR and the Ukrainian SSR. In addition, administrative and economic procedures were not followed and guarantees of the rights of Crimeans were prescribed.

In particular, he explained, in order to transfer the peninsula according to the procedure, it was first necessary to hold a referendum within the framework of the RSFSR, but this was not done, no one asked the opinion of the population of the republic.

"In the Constitution of the RSFSR there was a provision in which it was clearly indicated that the territory of the RSFSR could not be changed without the consent of the RSFSR itself. At the same time, even the highest authorities of the RSFSR did not have any authority to transfer the territory and make an independent decision on changing the borders of the RSFSR. There is no such norm in the constitution," Trofimov stressed.

Thus, he explained, this issue could not be considered even at the level of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR.

"Only the people of the RSFSR had this right. It was necessary to hold a referendum. So Crimea has not legally been legally part of the Ukrainian SSR for a single day," the deputy said.

In addition, according to him, a referendum on the annexation of Crimea should also have been held in the Ukrainian SSR, which was not done.

"After holding referendums and approving their results, appeals to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR should have followed, which could have decided to approve changes in the borders between the Union republics, but none of these procedures took place," Trofimov concluded.

Earlier, the working group completed the preparation of a request to the Constitutional Court of Russia on compliance with the Constitution of the USSR law of April 26, 1954 on the transfer of the peninsula to Ukraine.

Crimea became a Russian region in March 2014 following a referendum following a coup in Ukraine. In the 2014 referendum, 96.77 percent of voters in Crimea and 95.6 percent in Sevastopol voted for joining Russia.

Ukraine still considers the peninsula its temporarily occupied territory. For its part, the Russian leadership has repeatedly stated that the residents of Crimea voted for reunification with Russia democratically, in full compliance with international law and the UN Charter.

Well, as expected, we have a new member of the group forever alive. Lenin, Elvis, Michael Jackson, who else is there? Why is Prigozhin worse than them? He became famous on several continents - he is quite worthy at least for this.

"Prigozhin is alive!": Killnet hackers made a sensational statement
Hacker group claims that Prigozhin is alive

Scandalous news regarding Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose name is at the center of many discussions and speculations, continues to be reflected in the media. The hacker group "KillNet" made a sensational statement that Prigozhin is alive, and they have irrefutable evidence of this.

This statement looks especially relevant against the background of previously widespread rumors that Prigozhin might not have been on board the crashed plane. It should be noted that since the disaster, the interim report has not been published, which has added fuel to the fire of rumors and assumptions.

"Prigozhin is alive and will outlive all our enemies!", the message says.

According to some reports, the claim that Prigozhin is alive is based on confidential data received. It is assumed that the information was obtained by hacking telecommunications systems. However, the specific details and ways in which hackers managed to get this information remain behind the scenes.

If the claims of "KillNet" are confirmed, it could become one of the most high-profile information scandals of recent years.

PoB,

That is a Putin’s answer on Russian central bank in 2017 and why it is ‘destroying small independent banks’ (as everywhere). We had a chance during amendment of constitution to change that, but still the situation remains the same.

Imo, you can’t conduct an independent policy if your ‘wallet’ belongs to the west.

Translation highlights:

Indeed, CB is according to Russian law is independent structure, that is international practice. It is not controlled by the government, operates in its core business exclusively independently....the rest is bla bla bla

Unfortunately, our people do not have such opportunities as the amers, but it would be good to catch such figures and close them for a longer time. Just so that everything is "according to the law".

The Russian Interior Ministry has put on the wanted list the entire "top" of the International Criminal Court, which issued an arrest warrant for Putin
The investigative authorities of the Russian Federation have taken decisive steps in response to the attempt of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to justice. As it became known, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia has entered into its database the search for key figures of this international body.

The list of wanted persons includes the chairman of the ICC Peter Hofmansky, his deputy Luz del Carmen Ibanez Carranzo and Judge Bertram Schmitt. Details of the reasons and articles of the Criminal Code for which the Russian authorities are looking for the above-mentioned persons have not yet been disclosed.

This decision can be seen as a demonstration of Russia's position in relation to the ICC's attempts to influence its internal and external affairs. Recall that recently the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for the head of the Russian state, which caused a sharp reaction from Moscow.
