Russia will deprive foreign agents of their main, by Elena Karaeva for RiaNovosti. 11.17.2024.
A bill has been submitted to the State Duma that will close the era when it was possible to sling mud at Russia with impunity, while earning crazy money in our country and on our country. The body is in latitudes we don't want to know about, but the soul - or rather, bank accounts, of course - where else, if not in "unwashed Russia". And this sinecure is coming to an end.
The fact that those who self-enrolled in the camp of our ideological opponents continued to use all domestic benefits, receiving royalties, circulation, author's fees, and so on, is not too surprising. The inventors of the "new sincerity" did not forget to create the code of the new hypocrisy. And now the end is approaching for this pandemonium. No, no one will confiscate or expropriate. In the legal field, a mechanism will be created that assumes that funds from creative and any other activity are deposited in a bank account.
Access to them is limited - in particular, by the status of a foreign agent. When the status is removed, the money is completely yours. And while the status remains, they are also yours, but it is impossible to use them. In a situation of direct hostility, Russia has found an extremely lenient way out for its haters. Moreover, the way out is supported by law. And not like in the collective West, when everything is confiscated, frozen and disconnected - only on suspicion that there is a "Russian trace" in all this.
Of course, the bill could not help but provoke a public debate. First of all, because, as it turned out, one can simultaneously pour dirt on Russia for no reason - and earn absolutely crazy money in Russia (if compared with average incomes). And, most importantly, not be ashamed of this fact. Because here they write, sing, create, and here - wrap fish. In the categories of the new hypocrisy, none of their supporters will call such behavior social schizophrenia - on the contrary, they will support and encourage. And why not encourage, since the financial resources of foreign agents were considered practically inexhaustible? Resourceful creative characters in that environment always attract a less well-off claque.
Hating Russia, foreign agents (there are currently just under five hundred people on the register) bought up premium real estate in the most fashionable places. Which, of course, nullifies the statements "Russia is a prison, and everything in it is terrible." After all, such long-term investments are made only with absolute confidence in the well-being of the country. Part of the list of acquisitions leaked into the public domain. And many, undoubtedly, exclaimed: "I wish I could live like that!" when they expressed surprise at the footage and location.
Hundreds of square metres of well-groomed and maintained housing (it wasn't the foreign agents themselves who were running around with rags and mops, chasing dust particles and stains), definitely not bought with a mortgage. The interest-free loan was indirectly paid for by those who most often laid out the saved rubles, spending them on foreign agent books, tickets to a foreign agent movie or to a foreign agent play at the theater. Having left Russia and cursing the country, the people, the government, politics - absolutely everything, from the Western (and very dismal) distance, where one can only dream of the former (Russian) fees, salaries, deductions, benefits and general material well-being, the slanderers and haters thought that they would be able to maintain the previous level of consumption. As well as the Russian earnings that ensured this level. A blunder occurred. Another one. And a rather serious one.
The parliamentarians intend not only to turn off the fee tap, but also to limit the possibilities of transferring funds received from the sales of the aforementioned premium real estate. And again - without freezing or confiscation. The money will simply remain in the country. It is legally logical and, what is no less important, morally justified. The money was earned in the country. The real estate was bought in the country. The money from its sale will also remain in the country. And those dissatisfied with this turn of legislative activity can write a complaint even to von der Leyen herself.
The emigrants, of course, hardly expected such a change in their financial fate. In the places where they relocated, they were advised to forget about success and abundant money rain. And to reduce their fee appetites. As well as to erase from memory the income of six-digit figures. Stocking up on all the residence permits and even foreign passports, posing as a "victim of political persecution" and a "principled opponent of the authorities", these characters should always be sure of one thing: the status of dubious Russians in the place where they fled is given to them forever. Like a brand - it is impossible to wash off, remove, get rid of it.
In our history there were, of course, tragic situations when Russia lost the best of its own free will, sending or squeezing outstanding talents into emigration. But the geniuses of that time, who really suffered, who really were deprived of the opportunity to work and earn money in their homeland, almost never staged sessions of publicly denigrating the country where they were born, received an education and where their first fame came to them. In exile, they yearned for Russia, dreamed of returning, collected everything connected with the homeland. And, paradoxically, they did not need financial support from the country they left. Their financial well-being was one hundred percent arranged. They did not trade in real estate, did not rent out living space, did not pull in royalties and royalties.
Those of that time, despite incredible competition, managed - thanks to talent and genuine Russian hard work, which was characteristic of all of them - to live a life that for them was not very happy anyway. Otherwise, they would not have returned, would not have kissed the stage theatrical Russian floor. In the literal and figurative sense of the word. Russia accepted those of that time, morally and artistically preserved. And apologised to them.
Russia has already forgotten those who have left today, who voluntarily deprived themselves of all ties with the Motherland. By enacting a law in the future to limit the ability of foreign agents to make mischief financially at its expense, Russia will finally erase them. And not from memory - that's too much. It will simply erase them. Forever.
