This is rather serious and very pathetic that such a candidate has not been barred or kicked out of running. This sets a very dangerous situation for future elections.

I bet the whole MSM will go apeshit if an American presidential candidate does that in Russia.

What I don't get is, why does Russia even cooperate with ECHR? All they do is help those who want to insult and destroy Russia.

So some stupid Ukrainian cunt of a bitch cooked eggs over the eternal flame. Real fucking insult. So authorities charged her $4000 for it. ECHR rules in her favor and is transfering the $4000 back to her. I would tell ECHR that they are fucking done, block all possible ways ECHR can transfer anything to Russian accounts, and then tell them if they want to have any cooperation in the future, they must sign a waver that their authorities have 0 right to interfere in Russian laws.

Sometimes I think Russian authorities are too stupid and lazy to actually do something. I mean, even nations like Azerbaijan can outright ban groups rather easy. Russia cannot.

Perhaps you should consider that Russian authorities let them talk. Their deeds make opposite effect then desired. They let most of society see who is their enemy and thet better to stick to own national idea?

This article you should read. It's a good read.

Lads, did you notice what happened form 1st of March?

1) Putin unveils new terminators for for US elites
2) Gazprom shuts down Ukraine
3) Russia cancels request to join CERN

Every day something new and cool . I dont think it was not planned far ahead. Now the question will economical policy change too? If so this meant Putin was keeping some behind scenes arrangements with western deep states as long as Russia didnt finish Kinhal, Sarmation, Status-6 or Rubezh...

I am sure Russian leadership is much aware about it (and prepared too):

"Implement the scenario of Libya and Ukraine, and create an atmosphere of chaos - for the time of the presidential elections in Russia." Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told how the US is preparing for March 18. Subscribe to the Russia24 channel:

Looks like some are pushing to get Sobchak to be investigated for her stupidity and blatant disregard for laws.

If this is correct then there is a major change to the Russian Government underway, rapidly turning it into a war cabinet, or stavka

Father Politics, like Mother Nature, abhors a vacuum.

And so it was, even before the US Treasury announced its newest sanctions against Russian individuals and their companies for “malign activity around the globe”, that President-elect Vladimir Putin was preparing a successor cabinet of ministers on the principle that they would be organized as a headquarters staff for fighting a war on all fronts, without the option of negotiating terms with the enemy.

The impact of the US sanctions, along with the campaign of the British Government in the Skripal affair, and the Syrian front action escalating since the weekend, have reinforced what had already been decided in the Kremlin. The new government is to be a war cabinet. In Russian parlance, a Stavka.

The pictures issued by the Kremlin since last Friday reveal that Putin has decided, along with the Defense Ministry , the General Staff, the heads of the security services, and the Russian military-industrial complex, that he must change prime ministers. This means the revival of the candidacy of the Mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin.

Putin will announce the new government after his official inauguration, which is legally appointed for May 7.

I doubt this big time. Fake news.

I still bet that Sobchak is a genuine project of Putin. She is do prove Russians that opposition are idiots but at least she is doing this without CIA money...

Putin signs new 'May Decree’ spelling out Russia’s development goals to 2024

The document sets several key goals, which the Russian government should achieve by 2024

MOSCOW, May 7. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree setting the national development targets up to 2024, the Kremlin’s press-service said.

Earlier in the day Putin was sworn into office for another six-year term at an inauguration ceremony in the Kremlin.

By signing a major decree immediately after taking office Putin continued the tradition of eleven decrees of May 7, 2012, which identified the main tasks of the country’s socio-economic development for years to come.

Russia should join the group of the world’s five largest economies by 2024, according to the Russian president’s decree on the country’s national goals and strategic development tasks.

The document sets several goals, which the Russian government should achieve by 2024.

One of the tasks says that "the Russian Federation should join the group of the world’s five largest economies, ensure economic growth rates above the world’s level while keeping macroeconomic stability, including inflation at no more than 4%".

National projects

The Russian government should develop or revise national projects in twelve areas, ranging from demography to international cooperation and export supports, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced.

"The Russian Government in line with national goals is to develop (revise) in cooperation with government authorities of Russian constituencies and present national projects (programs) in the following areas by October 1, 2018 for consideration at the meeting of the Council under the Russian president for Strategic Development and Priority Projects: demography, healthcare, education, housing and urban environment, ecology, safe and quality motorways, labor productivity and employment support, science, digital economy, culture, small and medium enterprises and support of individual business initiative, international cooperation and export," the Decree reads.

Digital economy

The government should ensure growth of the share of costs for the digital economy development in Russia's GDP of at least 3-fold in 2024 compared to 2017, Vladimir Putin said.

The targets to be achieved by the government in 2024 include increasing domestic expenditures for the development of the digital economy at the expense of all sources (by share in the country's gross domestic product) at least 3-fold compared to 2017.

Putin also instructed to ensure "creating a stable and secure ICT infrastructure for high-speed transmission, processing and storage of large amounts of data accessible to all organizations and households."

At the same time, state bodies, local governments and organizations in 2024 should use predominantly domestic software.

By 2024, the government should also create a legal regulation system for the digital economy, based on a flexible approach in each sphere.

The president also instructed to ensure information security on the basis of domestic technologies.

According to the decree, in 2024, digital technologies and platform solutions should be implemented in the areas of public administration and provision of public services.

Putin also urged to solve the problem of transforming priority sectors of the economy and the social sphere through the introduction of digital technologies and platform solutions.

The program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation", approved in the summer of 2017, was designed up to 2024 and consists of five areas: normative regulation, education, personnel, cybersecurity, formation of research competencies and IT infrastructure. Part of the activities envisaged by the documents are already being implemented.

The Saker is in panic mode over Medvedev being PM again. Saying that the fifth column in Russia won.

These guys seem to forget it was Medvedev that called for and demanded the campaign in Georgia. Medvedev's biggest issue was that he agreed to a no fly zone in Libya on pretext - something not to trust the US over. His method on the economy was not his fault either since Russia's economy was still transitioning. It was still too reliant on western banking system. I mean, that was something under Putin's era too. Hell, it was Medvedev that fired Kudrin.

you say right things but def ears wont listen i am afraid
BTW check my post about who was proposed by Medvedev with their background. It is in economy thread but should be be here. They read FT and claim whatever FT or random bloggers say is true, I wonder why.

To me one is clear. Putin is very conservative as for policy (most of experiments end up in demonstrations and possibly blood shed). Next couple of years there will be huge effort similar to Stalin's industrialization plan. This must happen or will be no Russia. As in 41. Most of new people are those who are proven to have-things-done either infrastructure or agriculture or economy or military.

The problem is that he keeps championing austerity, neoliberal reforms, etc. I also recall that Medvedev in stark contrast to Putin, received barely 1/10th the usual U.S. media demonization treatment when he was president, he was treated almost like he was Yeltsin. In U.S. political circles he was widely considered the "preferable" choice over Putin, so whether you agree or not, that's a huge knock against him, the U.S. media treated him with the kid-gloves. Medvedev had to be president, before the U.S. could agree to a fake 'reset', then followed the campaign with Georgia mirroring Yeltsin, where they had a 'reset', then followed by the Chechen war. A 'reset', followed by a war in the caucuses, it was so predictable, and he fell for it, yet another knock against him. He also acquiesced on the S-300's to Iran, and they launched the Syrian war right at the tail-end of his presidency, and who can forget Serdykov wanting Russia to be dependent on NATO based military suppliers for the modernization. Lets not pretend like the Siloviki in the background (cough, Putin, cough) weren't pushing him to be less soft when he was president. No amount of rehabilitation can remold Medvedev's neoliberal, pro-monetarist legacy, geo-politically and strategically naive tenure. Now all he does is verbally attack the rearmament budget, or attacking any civil engineering project.

He's constantly saying how the rearmament needs drastic cuts, and some years back he was calling to end all construction on the Moscow to Kazan fast-rail line. He's been making these statements, you only just have go looking for them.

Link please. Cause I don't seem to recall him saying to reduce it anymore than Putin does. Let us not forget, he was the one who wanted to initiate a rearmament plan because of the events after the Georgian war showed there was a lot of work to be done. And you need approval from the cabinet regarding of many positions. Putin would have had to agreed to those positions and people. Russia was trying to give as many olive branches as they could to the west to try to really reset things. Proved useless. It isn't what was needed for Russian politicians, but for its own people. And it worked. Plus they weren't looking to replace everything with western either. But things that they couldn't build simply because their industries were being corrupt and stupid at the time. Things are different now. And its not like Medvedev has 100% control of everything either, much like Putin. Medvedev actually showed more strength than Putin did with the whole Georgian campaign. Really actually, maybe Medvedev would have acted in Ukraine? Who knows.

+1000

IMHO it is not Medvedev who takes ultimate decisions as in case of 08.08.08 war, Libya or S-300 to Iran. Always decision is made by Putin. And yea Medvedev is a bad cop in good / bad cop pair.

perhaps because beyond your means is not possible in long term? Russia is nto going to attack anybody soon. Needs to be able to defend itself though. No money needed for defense beyond defense needs to be spent. Otherwise it is taken from health, infrastructure or R&D. Do you think that building Bagruzin, Avangard, Liders or CVN now makes difference for strategic balance? but for economy those trillion of rubles do make difference.

And As for Kazan - Moscow line can you provide all context please?

Saker knows his war stuff but he is also guy who rants about ''anglo-zionist empire'' 24/7.

His military material is good and should be read but you can flush rest of it.

Medvedev is alright. He is the guy who hit the pedal to the metal in Georgia (Putin was still en-route from Beijing)

And if it was him who fired Kudrin then he just gained even more street cred in my eyes.

And the Medvedev of today is much different than the guy ten years ago. His tone changed a lot since 2014.

In the end he is just a good bureaucrat. Someone who manages the back office. In that regard he is quite good.

   

Putin submits Kudrin’s candidacy for Accounts Chamber head to State Duma

MOSCOW, May 21. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has submitted the candidacy of Alexei Kudrin, the Chief executive of the Center for Strategic Research (CSR), for the position of Russia’s Accounts Chamber head to the State Duma (lower house of parliament), the parliamentary press service said in a statement on Monday.

"President Vladimir Putin has submitted Alexei Kudrin’s candidacy for the Account Chamber head to the State Duma," the statement reads.

According to the press service, "at 15:00 (12:00 GMT) on Monday, the Duma Council will endorse the procedure for considering Kudrin’s appointment."

In compliance with the Russian legislation, the State Duma Council earlier nominated four candidates representing each of the parliamentary factions. Alexei Kudrin was nominated by the United Russia party.

According to the Law on the Accounts Chamber, candidates are nominated by the Duma Council and then the president chooses a candidate to submit to the parliament. Sources say that Duma members are likely to consider Kudrin’s candidacy on May 22 or 24.

TASS

Any inputs on why Putin is bringing back Kudrin the western puppet back to the government? Did Putin cave in to Western pressure? Putin is now a slave of the West?
