The nomenklatura blames the efeect of this theft on bad advice from the West which is nonsense. This allows a financial elite, who have access to goods in Russia at prices below their real value in world-markets, to buy and export goods and realize their real value, while the population which produces these goods receives payment in wages which buy less and less due to Nomenklatura sponsored inflation activity. The result is that the population is being bled dry to support a financial elite. As a result, a business which obeys all current Russian nomenklatura laws is doomed to bankruptcy. Banks are becoming bankrupt because loans cannot be repaid.
Interest rates are higher than profits from using borrowed money.
Russian economic policy is creating a society of criminals because obeying these laws created by criminals is economic suicide for honest people. These Government actions are possibly symptoms of fear of scarcity and lack of confidence in Russia itself by those in power. Fear, prompted by a false believe in shortages. Fear prompted by the belief in the principle of scarcity, which is the belief that one party's gain are at the cost of another party's loss and that there is not enough for everyone. It is based upon lack of confidence that Russian population cannot evolve and develop into a highly productive work-force that has the capability and potential to support, with its production, the consumption requirements of the country.
