This is a very serious marker.
The Kremlin-loyal state media in Russia have suddenly started writing the truth about the economic disaster that is looming over the country. Instead of telling stories that everything is under control, the propaganda has gone into panic mode. And this is a vivid evidence of what moods reign in the ranks of the Russian "elites".
A well-known Russian Z-blogger Maksim Kalashnikov writes about this in his blog, reports Dialog.UA.
He drew attention to an article by the pro-government publication "Moskovsky Kosmolets" that the Russian budget deficit could reach a record 10 billion rubles as early as this year. This is a very serious marker, Kalashnikov believes.
"This means only one thing: Vladimir Vladimirovich is beginning to be taxed by part of the Russian boomondom. Opaquely hinting that it's time to get out of the war. Otherwise - collapse," wrote Z-patriot.
He emphasized that the situation in the Russian economy is really catastrophic. The National Welfare Fund has been eaten up during the 4 years of war, it will not be able to compensate for the deficit. The only thing left there today is gold, which the Russian Federation is already actively selling. Moscow can't increase the volume of precious metal sales, as it would bring down prices.
The only option available to the Kremlin is to put its hand into the bank deposits of Russians. But this is an extremely dangerous move that could trigger a social explosion and sweep the government away.
There is no hope for China, the Z-blogger believes. Xi is categorically unwilling to give credit to Moscow for continued aggression, although the war and weakening of the Russian Federation is beneficial to Beijing. "In general, the Russian Federation's beau monde poses unpleasant questions to the GDP," Kalashnikov stated.
