The economic crisis in the country is discussed.

Andrei Illarionov advocates the devaluation of the ruble.

He points to the large number of loans borrowed by the government since the Soviet Union, which continue to grow due to the government's policies.

In particular, the inclusion of Yuri Maslyukov in the government apparatus is discussed.

Andrei Illarionov compares the Russian economy to a gambling house, where money is not earned, but simply redistributed among players.

An example is given of the Central Bank squandering investment funds.
