Greetings to the Congress of the Labor Russia movement
11/28/2020
Moscow To the
Delegates of the XXI Congress of the
All-Russian Movement "Labor Russia"

Dear comrades in the fight!

On behalf of the Central Committee of the ROT FRONT, I greet the delegates of the XXI Congress and wish fruitful, friendly work on the development of tactics of struggle for the coming period, the formation of efficient governing bodies.

"Labor Russia"
RCWP and "Trudovaya Rossiya", ROT FRONT, we have known each other for a long time, we have many common moments and a glorious struggle, and experience of mistakes. To survive today in the orthodox form of a proletarian organization, in a period not only of the strongest reaction, but also in conditions of false goals and dead-end ways of struggle artificially created and thrown by the bourgeois regime, compromising parties and champions of political petty fighting, is our common task.

We must not allow our class enemy to deform public consciousness into anti-Sovietism, incl. it is impossible to allow the ousting of real communists from the arena of public politics. And this is possible only through the fusion of our organizations with the daily life of the working class, the organization of its own struggle.

We wish the Congress delegates and the entire movement success and firmness in the struggle for the working cause!

Let's not flinch on the chosen path!

First Secretary of the Central Committee of the ROT FRONT,
Secretary of the Central Committee of the RKWP,
editor-in-chief of Trudovaya Rossiya Viktor Tyulkin

United Russia deputy surprised by Russians' dreams of a comfortable pension
11/28/2020

Workers have no time for fat, I would live

The results of a poll of Russians about the desired level of pensions surprised the State Duma deputy from the United Russia faction Vyacheslav Lysakov , LENTA.RU reports . The politician, an ONF activist who voted in 2018 for the adoption of the pension reform, was struck by the modesty, hopelessness and inability to dream of our fellow citizens.


Image
Deputy Vyacheslav Lysakov

According to a survey of more than 3 thousand specialists from 8 industries conducted by the Rabota.ru service, the highest desired level of pensions - more than 100 thousand rubles - was named by representatives of the IT sector (23%), financiers (22%) and builders (20 %). Doctors, teachers, employees of cafes and restaurants, the drivers would like to live in old age at 40 - 50 thousand per month.. Production workers would be satisfied with 30-40 thousand rubles.
“People were asked, in fact, to dream and name any amount at which they would be comfortable living. And apart from financiers, programmers and builders, who indicated a more or less normal amount, only every fifth (!) Swung, you know, 30-40 and 40-50 thousand rubles! Incredible courage, turning into licentiousness. And the rest, which is 80% ??? 20-25 and 25-30 thousand rubles ?! " - exclaims Vyacheslav Ivanovich in his Telegram channel.
It is clear that the politician expressed himself in the spirit of: "What are you doing, gentlemen ?!" His "righteous indignation" is understandable.

But V. Lysakov is not the first year in parliament. Should he be surprised at such figures in a country where even high government officials sometimes realize the scanty wages of most ordinary workers, and the average pension is 14,980 rubles. What workers can dream of, when in front of looming dismissal , but the financial situation is constantly deteriorating . There is no time for fat, I would live. A huge number of Russians will continue their labor activity even after retiring to a well-deserved rest, in order only to approach the cherished 30-40 thousand a month.

It is interesting that the politician explains the modesty of the respondents by their age and draws certain conclusions:
“… It was undoubtedly the older generation - this, in my opinion, is the last stronghold of the current System. And we shouldn't be complacent about the relatively small numbers of protest moods in society. By the way, he can also give a "candle". The generation coming to replace us will not be so humble, submissive and controllable. There is not so much time left before that ... "
It has already begun to dawn on some bourgeois parliamentarians that the deterioration of the situation of the broad masses cannot continue indefinitely. Whether they will ever realize that under the capitalist mode of production it is impossible to change the formula "the rich get richer, the poor get poorer" is not so important for us. It is important that with the inevitable growth of protest sentiments, as many broad masses of working people as possible realize the need for the transition to socialism, and not seek to replace some names of capitalists with others.

“Do you see the distance? And she is! " How to give a damn about coronavirus restrictions
11/29/2020

Laws are written for us, but not for them

In St. Petersburg, a scandal erupted around the concert , which was held on November 27 by rapper Basta . Photo and video filming from the concert testifies that the accepted norms on "social distance" are grossly violated; at the concert, there was a dense crowd in which infection could easily spread. The managers of the Ice Palace, where the concert took place, and the city authorities arranged an inspection, as a result of which ... they stated that “the video does not display everything clearly,” but in fact everything was fine. They have someone to take an example from: recently, the "mask regime" and "social distance" were violated by Russian President Vladimir Putin himself . His press secretary Dmitry Peskov commented this situation is very mysterious and indistinct.

Image
“Do you see the social distance? And she is! "

After the concert of rapper Basta (in the world - Vasily Vakulenko ) held last Friday, users of social networks began to wonder about what they had seen. We are talking about massive non-compliance with restrictive measures in connection with the COVID-19 epidemic. If you watch the video posted by the rapper himself on the Instagram social network, then in many frames it is clear that people are standing close to each other; you can also see faces without masks. Other videos (for example, published by Fontanka) demonstrate the absence of distant seating, which is a must for concerts in St. Petersburg. Numerous complaints prompted officials of the St. Petersburg Committee for Culture to announce an "additional check"... It ended quickly and truly epic.

Image
"The room is less than half full." We believe.

Georgy Nikolov, Deputy Director General for Legal Affairs of the Ice Palace, actually suggested not to believe his eyes :

“The video does not display everything clearly. Our parterre was built. According to the latest regulation, the occupancy rate should be no more than 50%. Our hall was much less than half full ”.

The Committee of St. Petersburg for Culture, probably, also believed not the shooting, but the honest word of Mr. Nikolov. Officials announced that no violations were found during the event.

Image

Vasily Vakulenko, aka “Basta”, is not only a singer, but also a capitalist. Co-owner of the creative association "Gazgolder" , which includes restaurants, bars , a branded clothing store. Producer of several films. In 2019, he bought the SKA Rostov-on-Don football club and spent about 10 million rubles on its development . During the so-called "pension reform," rapper Basta actively supported raising the retirement age, which was the subject of critical analysis by popular film critic Yevgeny Bazhenov ( BadComedian).In general, Vakulenko is a very loyal and useful figure for the ruling class. It can be assumed that for people like him the law is not written.

Image
Coronavirus gives in to the president

Recently, the Russian president has also shown an illustrative example of his attitude to restrictions. Upon arrival in Sarov ( former nuclear center Arzamas-16, Nizhny Novgorod region), Putin did not put on a mask and shook hands with the welcoming officials, not observing "social distance". Answering journalists' questions, the presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov vaguely stated about some of the measures taken:

“The necessary measures have been taken to ensure the epidemiological safety of the president ... People who meet with him, their epidemiological safety is also ensured accordingly. This is not just such massive uncontrolled communication. "

What these measures are, Peskov refused to disclose. And to the comment that the Russians did not know about the measures taken, he replied: "Now, with our and your help, they will find out about it . " This style of conversation is very similar to polite mockery.

Even the official incidence rates in Russia are breaking records. The government has been taking half-hearted measures since spring; by forcing people to go to "self-isolation", the authorities thereby abandon the minimum social guarantees. And now it turns out that for the sake of money , for the sake of retaining profits and enriching “our own”, you can break any rules and create any danger for citizens.

Why do we need this state?

One only has to look to nations that are socialist or trending towards socialism and compare this to the way the capitalist hegemon and this state with one foot still in the primitive accumulation phase of capitalism respond to the pandemic to know which side you should be on. In either case the libertarian ethos constantly pokes holes in the facade of public well being in favor of profit and continuity of rule.

To those hoping that the new Democratic regime in Washington will do more than exhort and lip service I got a bridge to sell ya...

Russian CWP, ‘Extremists’ – in office, or in the streets?
11/30/20 2:55 PM
Russia, Communist Workers' Party of Russia - Revolutionary Party of Communists En Ru Europe


November 26, 2020

Communist Workers’ Party of Russia Central Committee Press Centre on the violations by authorities in the region of Tiumen



On November 7, 2020, left-wing forces throughout Russia have commemorated the Anniversary of the October 1917 Revolution. And, throughout Russia, we had many complications as local authorities were stopping public events, allegedly to combat the pandemic threats. The most outrageous outbreak was in the city of Tiumen where the police applied force against citizens who gathered in the street for a public event and have subsequently filed a criminal case against Alexander Cherepanov, one of Secretaries of Russian Communist Workers’ Party – Communist Party of the Soviet Union (RCWP–CPSU) Central Committee.

Mayor of TiumenRuslan N. Kukharuk had earlier refused to approve the three notices sent by the organisers of a demonstration and a rally on the commemorative date of November 7, 2020. At the same time, various events were taking place in Tiumen throughout autumn. Concerts were held on November 4, 2020. On November 7, 2020, four fairs took place in Tiumen, with thousands of people attending.

We believe the authorities of Tiumen have openly demonstrated the policy of political discrimination: their friends (business etc.) can hold any type of event, while communists can no way be allowed. Administrative protocols have been filed on those who took part in ‘banned’ meetings, and courts, following political orders, issue fines of tens of thousands roubles. For instance, on November 25, 2020, the court issued a fine of RUB 15,000 (over 150 Euros) to comrade Mikhail Savelkov, an RCWP Tiumen District Committee secretary, for taking part in an public event earlier to commemorate the ‘Black October’ (Moscow 1993) events.

On November 7, 2020, police were mobilised to the square where people have gathered, to interfere with the peaceful demonstration organised by communists and following all precautions against the threats of pandemic. Led by Alexander Cherepanov, RCWP Tiumen District Committee First Secretary & an RCWP Central Committee Secretary, formerly a deputy of Tiumen regional Duma on three terms, people were about to start the demo when the police attacked them. They grabbed Alexander Cherepanov and threw him on the floor in the police bus, paying no attention to the pain he was experiencing or to the demands to call a doctor. Alexander Cherepanov, 70, has recently undergone a hospital treatment. A young policeman grabbed Cherepanov’s hands, pressed him against the floor and didn’t let him get up. As a result, Alexander Cherepanov’s health state went below normal.

At the same time, RCWP Tiumen District Committee secretaries Sergei Tselykh (a correspondent for TrudovayaTiumen newspaper) & Tatiana Cherepanovawere also detained. They were transported to Police Department No. 5 of Tiumen and held for seven hours. This operation was led by deputy head of Tiumen police, sub-colonel Viacheslav S. Volkovitski, who subsequently submitted a statement claiming Alexander Cherepanov had beaten him on the bus. On November 13, 2020, a criminal case was opened against Alexander Cherepanov (also Editor-in-Chief of TrudovaiaTiumen newspaper) over Russian Criminal Code Article 318 Section 1, with a maximum punishment of up to 5 years imprisonment.

It wasn’t until November 20, 2020, that Alexander Cherepanov was issued an official notice of criminal case against him. Investigator A. S. Shafigulina refused to disclose the details of the investigation or to issue a copy of the expert's statement. The expert, son of ex-head of TiumenPolice Yu. Altynov, is known to be under a house arrest, due to a criminal investigation over bribes. When witnesses were interrogated on November 23–24, 2020, the investigator failed to record their statements confirming Alexander Cherepanov was innocent. On November 23, 2020, Alexander Cherepanov has written to the Prosecutor’s Office of the region of Tiumen a demand to stop the criminal case against him, while comrades Tatiana Tselykh& Tatiana Cherepanova have written to the Investigation Committee of Leninski district of Tiumen requesting to bring a criminal case against Viacheslav S. Volkovitski, deputy head of Tiumen police, ex-head of Police of Tiumen Patrol Service.

The Central leadership of Communist Workers’ Party of Russia demands that prosecution against Alexander Cherepanov and other activists who fell victims of police violence and humiliation, is stopped. We also demand police officers who committed a criminal attack against the participants of a peaceful demo on November 7, 2020, in Tiumenare prosecuted. We call upon all workers’ and progressive political organisations to support these demands.

Serov's prosecutor's office insists on punishment for children's pickets in defense of the hospital
02.12.2020
Healthcare is not for everyone

Prosecutor of the town of Serov, Sverdlovsk region, A. Kiselev, protested the refusal to initiate proceedings on the fact of children's single pickets in defense of the only hospital in the village of Vostochny. After all, the minor Ekaterina , whom he considered the organizer of the pickets, at the time of their holding was already 16 years old, so there should be no indulgence.

Image
Picket at the walls of the hospital in Vostochny settlement

This story began in the summer of 2017, when the roof was blown off by a hurricane at the Vostochny hospital, and the interior was seriously damaged due to rains. For three years now, the hospital building has been in a terrible state, and the ambulance is forced to huddle in a garage, also damaged by the disaster. But the municipality, according to local residents, ignores the problem and, allegedly, instead of repairs, intends to recognize the building as emergency and close it completely.

Local officials deny the closure of the hospital , but things, as they say, are still there. And the nearest polyclinic to Vostochny is located 55 km away from the village - in Sosva, the hospital is even further away - in Serov (150 km from Vostochny).

Image
Ambulance room in Vostochny settlement

It was possible to draw the authorities' attention to this situation when adolescents aged 14 to 17 stood up to defend the hospital. At first, the children recorded a video message to the officials, and then they organized a series of single pickets at the walls of the clinic. But instead of starting the repairs, there followed communication with the police, threats of fines for organizing unauthorized actions and registration of minors. And all this just because they tried to defend their right to receive medical care.

No matter how loud words are heard on the official air, the attitude to health care in bourgeois Russia is well known. Optimization has long turned it from a social guarantee into a product that is not available to everyone.

The dissatisfaction of ordinary Russians with this situation is naturally growing. To level it, as we see from the above, they intend not by injecting funds into an industry that is obviously unprofitable for the capitalists, but by repressive measures.

Prosecutor Kiselev's behavior demonstrates that the Russian authorities are afraid of even single protests. Indeed, with such a policy, they seriously threaten to go into the mass.

It was not possible to replace the import of products into the Russian Federation
09.12.2020

Image

The strategy of import substitution of food products in the Russian Federation has failed, a study by the National Rating Agency ( NRA ) showed . Over the eight years since its adoption, it has not been possible to significantly reduce imports of the main categories of products due to domestic production. Companies from third countries have come to replace the sanctioned suppliers from the European Union, and in some cases there is also the re-export of prohibited products.


Sanctions on the import of agricultural products
The most optimistic, according to the NRA, are the indicators of import substitution of meat - its import decreased by 65% . But this figure is lower than planned for at 2.8 p. P . Since 2014, the import of dairy products has decreased by 20% instead of the planned 30% , and of fruit products - by 11% against the 20% announced in the strategy . The situation with the import of vegetables turned out to be quite a failure: it was planned to reduce it by 70.3% , but it turned out only by 27% .

Although the NRA noted that in 2019 the domestic production of products prohibited for import was 2.5 times higher than the volume of imports from countries not subject to the embargo, the share of such imports is still very high: 30% instead of 38% in 2013 ... In fact, third countries have replaced the EU here: for example, Belarus took the lead in the supply of milk to Russia ( 79% against 39% before the sanctions) and meat ( 29% against 12% in 2013).

Also, NRA analysts came to the conclusion that countries that are not included in the sanctions list of the Russian Federation carry out partial re-export of prohibited products. As arguments, they cite observations of the fish import chain to Russia. Before the embargo, almost 40% of fish was imported from Norway, now it has been replaced by Chile and the Faroe Islands ( 20% and 16%, respectively). But at the same time, the supply of Norwegian fish to Chile has tripled. A similar situation is observed with vegetables from Ecuador and China.

Experts treat these conclusions of the NRA with caution, but this does not change the essence: capitalist Russia cannot provide itself with food products on its own. And this situation is observed in many industries, from pharmaceuticals to aircraft construction .

And this is because the system in the Russian Federation is so focused on short-term profit that it is more profitable to outbid prohibited products from intermediaries at an exorbitant price than to invest in the development of its own production facilities.

Putin urged to prevent the situation "as in the Soviet Union"
10.12.2020
Is the scarcity worse than the inability to buy?
At a meeting with members of the government held on December 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the issue of the lack of funds for food from Russians requires special attention. The quotes of the statements of the national leader are quoted by RIA Novosti.

Image
Vladimir Putin with the Governor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak

“Look, no matter how we succeed, as in the Soviet Union. <...> Then they said: everything is there in the Soviet Union, but not everyone has enough. But then there was not enough, because there was a deficit. And now it may not be enough, because people do not have enough money to purchase certain products at the prices that we see on the market, ”Putin said.

The President called on government members to pay attention to the development of measures to "maintain export potential."

At the end of October, Putin had already raised the issue of the poverty of Russian citizens, but now the president is making it clear that the deficit, "like in the Soviet Union," is much worse than the lack of funds.
Indeed, isn't it better not to have money and lick your lips in front of the counter than to have funds, be sure that no one will take them away, and buy a limited range of familiar goods?
The President over and over again makes the usual logical error, absolutizing the times of perestroika and giving away the last five years of life from inside the torn Soviet Union for the entire Soviet era. How was it really?

Image
Soviet deli. 1950-1951
Just one fact. After the abolition of ration cards in post-war 1947, prices for all consumer goods continued to decline. By 1953, they had more than doubled. This process was accompanied by increases in real wages and improvements in general living standards.
Once upon a time, every citizen of our state had a real opportunity to buy everything that was on the shelves of any stores. And if today they trumpet your ears that in no case should a situation be allowed, as in the USSR, and in the supermarket you are counting trifles, because there is not enough for cheese stuffed with palm oil or a piece of boiler chicken, remember how this problem was 103 years ago our grandfathers decided.

Man, I want to go to that deli....but such can only be found in the poshest neighborhoods in capitalist Amerika. Why shouldn't the people who do the work live well?

Cossack brigades will be employed to keep public order during the New Year holidays.
There is something for them to do.

To maintain order in Moscow during the New Year holidays, Cossacks will be deployed to patrol the streets of the Russian capital alongside police officers. Also, the Cossacks will be involved to provide security measures in Sochi. Cossack patrols are expected to monitor public order and compliance with quarantine restrictions.

Image

Cossacks have been participating in street patrols and law enforcement in several Russian cities for the last few years. Breaking up a ROT FRONT protest in Biysk on May 1, 2017, seems a blatant case of that kind of “protection”. At the protest “He is not our Tsar” held on May 5, 2018, in Moscow, Cossack groups’ members used excessive force and dispersed protesters.

Russian Government, for now, has received through the Cossacks quite a handy tool for suppressing social protests and public demonstrations. The Cossacks, unlike the police, Rosgvardia, and other law enforcement organizations, are not officially connected with the governmental authorities, and in case of unexpected complications, official institutions will be able to easily shed their responsibilities from the Cossacks’ lawless acts and punish just a few individuals. The authorities are trying to use the Cossacks in the same way as Russian Tsarism did before the Great October revolution in 1917 – to pacify the disgruntled working class. At the same time, in order not to have too many mouths to feed during times of peace, the government uses the Cossacks to maintain order instead of involving other state security agencies and the police as well.

And what that illustrates is a few key points at a time.
First, the ruling class is preparing to unleash terror against the working class long before their possible action, which means that it is the exploiting classes that are responsible for any violence if any of such action occurs.

Secondly, for the Cossacks themselves, that only means they are going to be thrown under the bus by having to perform the most dangerous and dirty work. And then the mastermind who is always behind will get rid of them in one way or another.

Thirdly, as history has shown, organized workers are not afraid of such paramilitary forces, all the more if they consist mostly of mercenaries.

And the latter is particularly important for the working people – to draw serious conclusions for themselves and engage in self-organization and study in the most decisive way.

In every way the capitalist bosses of Russia drag the people into the horrid past. How long?

A relative of Putin creates another party
12/13/2020
Former FSB operative became a restless politician

Former FSB operative Roman Putin , a cousin of the current president of the Russian Federation, announced the creation of another party . The proposed title is “Russia without corruption” . The party congress will take place on December 15. This is not the first political experience of Roman Igorevich; in March, he already announced the creation of the People of Action movement , planned to transform it into a party, but something went wrong. Indeed, the rules of the Russian political circus are merciless ...

Image

More than a hundred delegates are expected to attend the new party's convention. Representatives of the organizing committee of the party do not specify whether these will be the same people who previously gathered for the same congress of the People of Action movement. According to the head of the information block of the organizing committee Daria Cheltsova , immediately after the congress, the party will submit documents to the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation for registration.

The previous political experiment of the entrepreneur Putin did not end well. In March 2020, he announced the creation of the People of Action movement, and in July he became the head of the People Against Corruption party . Putin willingly shared with journalists his ambitious plans, including promising to withdraw the party to participate in the September regional elections. The party's website confirmed direct cooperation with the United Russia party . However, for some reason it did not work out: on November 16, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, at the request of the Ministry of Justice, liquidated this organization due to problems with reporting. Less than a month later, a new party project with the same ambitions appeared on the horizon.

Image

Currently, 39 political parties are officially registered in the Russian Federation , of which 26 parties are allowed to participate in the elections . Next in line are 43 more organizing committees for the creation of parties, including such exotic options as "Armed Citizen" , "People's Party" SOON " and even " Party for the Modernization of the Parameters of the Evolution of Society " . Among the organizing committees of large turnover, but almost every year and every month to create new projects , among them many of the puppet parties, the administering authority - for example, the party "Communist Russia"... All this is done with one goal - to create the illusion of choice among Russians, to make them look for solutions to all problems in the ritual dropping of ballots into ballot boxes from year to year.

Meanwhile, the essence of bourgeois parliamentarism was perfectly revealed by Marx and Lenin: "The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which of the representatives of the oppressor class will represent and suppress them in parliament . "

Pribaikalsky National Park will be transferred to a private investor for construction
12/16/2020
2021 is the “year of Baikal”. For whom?

“The Baikal natural territory is promised unprecedented development,” the Irkutsk.New publication reports . On the territory of the Pribaikalsky National Park in the Olkhonsky District, they plan to create an international tourism center, involving the construction of a glamping, camping, cafes, viewing platforms, an eco-trail, an ethnopark, as well as four checkpoints. With this project, the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Zapovednoe Pribaikalye" even won a certain competition "Reliable Partner - Ecology" and will receive funding from the state budget. However, the main costs of implementing this plan will be borne by the private investor. Which, as a result, will be able to issue a concession for land plots and receive assistance under federal programs.

Image

In October 2020, Sochi hosted an international conference "Natural Tourism: Global Challenges and Prospects for Russia". Umar Ramazanov, Director of the Baikal Nature Reserve, spoke at it with a report “Sustainable Development of the Baikal Natural Territory as a World-Class Natural Tourist Destination”. It was then that he "blabbed" about the surprises that tourists, as well as locals, would soon see.

In particular, it became known about the victory of the project of "improvement" of the national park in the competition. At the same time, apparently, the fact of the competition was not too publicized. At the very least, local media and residents were in the dark about both the plans to build infrastructure facilities and the fact of attracting private investors. And they are probably still in the dark about the criteria for choosing an investor. Considering that RT-IETK LLC , a company established in mid-2019 with an authorized capital of 10,000 rubles, with an average headcount of 0 employees at the end of 2019, became a partner of the project with an estimated investment of about a billion rubles , and did not carry out any activity ...

“This is the first investor around whom the entire program was built,” said Mr. Ramazanov.

The regional media have a hypothesis designed to reveal the mystery of such an approach to choosing an investor : they claim that Artyom Mishchenko , co-founder of RT NEO (a regional waste management operator) has a “very big relationship” with RT-IETK LLC - a company that, after the reform in the field of MSW transportation, took a dominant position in the market for services in the field of waste management (at least most of the participants in this market now belong to the same people as the regional operator itself).

That is why the local newspaper asks a fair question: does not the whole business on the shores of Lake Baikal expect the same, namely: the creation of a single operator, but already in the sphere of tourism on Lake Baikal?


“… For three years now local residents have been fighting for the rights to real estate, which, in fact, they own, but because of strict environmental laws they cannot even build a barn. The local tourist business is reclaiming its possessions through the courts. And here in no time the land is transferred to people who have nothing to do with Lake Baikal. There were no public hearings, no gatherings, no reports at all about it. "

This is despite the fact that the project area covers almost the entire Olkhonsky district. And visiting this territory will be possible only with the purchase of a pass ticket, or, as it is called in the "Reserved Baikal region", a permit.

Actually, from this - that is, control over the collection of money and regulation of tourist traffic - and began "work" on the project, the purpose of which is declared "to preserve the natural course of natural processes and phenomena, the genetic fund of flora and fauna, individual species and communities of plants and animals, typical and unique ecological systems on the territory of the Pribaikalsky National Park ”. In early December 2020, the investor has already invested 17 million rubles to create an application on the site of the "Reserved Pribaikalye", with which you can buy a pass to the national park online.

It is planned to implement this already in 2021, that is, in the Year of Baikal .

All this, as well as the words of the director of the national park that "it is almost impossible to lease land for the implementation of projects - it is easier to get a concession, but with the condition of investing from a billion rubles", makes the author of the article assume that all conditions are spelled out only under "serious »Investors. Moreover - under predetermined investors.
A concession is an agreement between the state and a private firm, a foreign company or a monopolist on the transfer of enterprises or land plots for operation on agreed terms with the right to erect buildings and structures, the right to extract minerals, etc.
And these suspicions look very reasonable. Only in one thing the author is definitely mistaken. When he asserts that the "unprecedented development" of the Baikal natural territory will take place differently from most of the country's specially protected areas. The history of the Pribaikalsky National Park is quite typical and does not particularly stand out against the background of the stories of many other protected areas. With the fall in energy prices, forests and other natural objects have become "new oil" for our country. All over the country, capital seeks to divide, appropriate, master, turn into “cash” - by any available means - the still remaining natural resources as soon as possible . For these purposes, legislation is being changed, opening loopholes for capital construction on the territory of protected areas, changing their boundaries to meet the needs of developersmineral. Attempts to achieve such a change in laws are not stopped in order to make finally possible the already real privatization of the lands of national parks. And sometimes the destruction of natural monuments becomes just a side effect of the pursuit of profit.


Therefore, no - the transfer of the Pribaikalsky National Park to the "right" private investor, coupled with complete disregard for the interests of the local population and the small business established in the territory, is not a unique case. But the worst thing is something else: any object of nature is of interest to capital only as long as it makes a profit. If the profit from tourists turns out to be insufficient, capital will find a way to return its investments, even if this requires capital development of the park or massive deforestation and sale of forests - and even if it is necessary to turn the shores of Lake Baikal into scorched earth.

Capitalism is killing. But not only individuals - here and today. Modern capitalism has already reached such a level of development that it has learned to kill "on credit" - taking away the very possibility of life from future generations.

Vladimir Putin's annual press conference with the eyes of a communist
12/17/2020
About prices, bad boyars, lockdown and Navalny
On Thursday, December 17, another large press conference of Vladimir Putin took place : the President of the country spoke to citizens and journalists via video link. What the head of state spoke about and what turned out to be important, in the material of the ROT FRONT.

At the press conference, which lasted about five hours, issues of economics, politics and social support were discussed. As expected, there was an answer to the question about the poisoning of the right-wing politician Alexei Navalny , who is being treated in Berlin.

The President said that he became the target of an international information campaign similar to those practiced in the West during the "events in the Caucasus", "the fight against international terrorism." And this may well be the case. The totality of information attacks on the president's close associates indicates a campaign that has a customer.
Putin spoke modestly about the investigation into Navalny, allegedly poisoned by the Russian special services with a Novichok group's warhead: "Well, if we wanted to, we would have done it to the end . "
The president said that Navalny enjoys the support of the American intelligence services. In this regard, according to Putin, it is absolutely correct to "look after him."

“Well, this does not mean at all that you need to poison him. Who needs it? " - the head of state grinned.

The trick "to attack the first persons" can be used in order to stand on a par with the enemy, to become "a person of the same caliber," Putin explained.

Unfortunately, the issue of Navalny's poisoning by the Russian special services on Putin's personal order is a matter of faith, there is no evidence and is not expected, and the political crisis in the country is beneficial to many. There can be many beneficiaries of the global discussion of the poisoning of the liberal opposition. However, we realize that not a single left-wing activist who has suffered at the hands of the state machine has received so much attention from the public, and that says something. The violation of human rights in capitalist countries is significant as long as a person presents a liberal agenda. In Colombia alone , leftists are killed every day . These massacres are still of no interest to the global information agenda. The killer of environmental activist Berta Caceres, which until 2016 protected the forests and rivers of Colombia from greedy multinationals, was never punished. Sometimes similar events shake Russia too. The case of Alexander Sokolov, a member of the ROT FRONT, who was repressed for the investigation of theft at the Vostochny cosmodrome (formally - for the creation of an organization banned in the Russian Federation), is still heard.
The rest of the questions that were raised to the president at the press conference were nominal. There was a PR question about the 66-year-old doctor of the village of Alakurtti, which allowed the Governor of the Murmansk region, Andrey Chibis, to remind that there are two ambulances for 3 thousand people of the village, with a standard of one car for 10 thousand.

Putin continued the tactics of appeasing the population during the pandemic. He explained to business that a lockdown in Russia is not planned, but several governors had previously reported such a possibility. For example, on December 7, the governor of St. Petersburg, Alexander Beglov, announced that the city was on the verge of a complete lockdown. Putin calmed the population by means of the usual abuse at the boyars who allowed the rise in food prices, represented by the Minister of Economic Development and Trade Maxim Reshetnikov.

"Untimely reaction from the relevant government agencies," Putin said.

The head of state also spoke about the additional indexation of pensions, relations with the West, the Minsk agreements, the US elections and mass vaccinations.

During the press conference, we found out that the 1993 Constitution, popularly called the Constitution "on blood", is considered by the President to be an assistant in restoring civil peace.

“Everything is good on time, in due time. In 1993, it [the Constitution, - ROT FRONT] was adopted in difficult conditions, in the conditions of hostilities in Moscow, here people died, tanks fired at the parliament. She helped create civil peace and a base for political development. But now we have a different situation. And in this regard, we had to make changes, ”Putin said.
The president did not say anything new, the PR stunts invented by the Administration seemed ineffective and easily disclosed, the answers to the main complaints about Navalny and Putin's relatives were insufficient and uninformative. As a result of the press conference - the Kremlin is losing its grip. He allocates billions and trillions of rubles to support the president's media image, but this money is used by unreliable people and ineffective propagandists. However - and this is important - we are better off.

The legal cretinism of the sapper Putin or the renegade of the lieutenant colonel of the KGB?
07.07.2020
Explaining in a working way
Being in a certain euphoria from the percent squeezed out during the voting for the amendments to the constitution, experiencing, in the words of press secretary Dmitry Peskov , the triumph of the de facto referendum on confidence, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with the Russia-1 TV channel on July 5, that the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, adopted at the referendum on July 1, will make it possible to avoid the mistakes of the Soviet period of Russian history and to consolidate the inviolability of Russia's borders.

Speaking about what mistakes in the state structure he would like to avoid, Putin recalled that after the 1917 revolution in Russia there was a discussion about ways to restore statehood, and in the 1922 union treaty “the Leninist thesis about the right of the union republics to secede from the united state " .

“Lenin has been running around with this idea since 1908-1909. All this proceeded from the idea of ​​the nation's right to self-determination and then transformed into state building in such a way that when creating a single state, the Soviet Union, in fact, it was a question of restoring historical Russia within its former borders - the newly created union republics had the right to exit out of it, ”the president said.

He also recalled that Joseph Stalin adhered to a different point of view - he advocated the autonomy of national associations and their incorporation into the RSFSR on the basis of autonomy rights.

“No secession from the Soviet Union was foreseen in the future. But in the end, Lenin's idea was implemented, and the right to secede from the Soviet Union was fixed in the Union Treaty of 1922, but no other was said, the procedure for secession from the Union was not spelled out, "Putin explained, noting that these provisions" began to wander from the Constitution to the Constitution of the Soviet period ”.
It was this provision on the right to withdraw, according to Putin, that contributed to the destruction of the USSR in 1991. At the same time, Putin expressed a number of his own, relatively new considerations about the historical political practice of the Soviet government and the Bolshevik party.
With a request to comment on these statements, our correspondent Dmitry Volgin is talking with Viktor Tyulkin, First Secretary of the ROT FRONT Central Committee.

Interview with the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the ROT FRONT Viktor Tyulkin

Corr .: Viktor Arkadyevich, Putin is once again returning to the topic of a time bomb, allegedly laid by Lenin's national policy under the Soviet Union and ultimately blowing up the USSR. You and other politicians, scientists and specialists have already answered this Putin's thesis and stressed the absolute unscientific nature of this approach. Why is the president stepping on the same rake again and again?

VT: Because in this case, Putin acts as a propagandist and is guided by the laws of propaganda developed by Mr. Goebbels. Propaganda must be massive and unambiguous. A lie, repeated thousands of times by many media, becomes the conviction of the masses. Simply put, Putin is engaged in stupefying society, especially young people. The older generation and people who think about such primitive propaganda are unlikely to fall for it, but those who grew up in the post-Soviet period and have a knowledge of history at the level of dates and events according to the USE requirements, perceive his calculations as quite serious and reasonable. And with each repetition there are more and more of them. So we will have to reveal more than once all the fallacy and falsity of this version.

Corr .: Well, if it is necessary, we will repeat and emphasize especially important things.

VT: Come on. Putin has once again shown, I would say, legal cretinism. Like, it would be necessary to write in a different way and everything would be different. This, of course, is naive nonsense. The destruction of empires and states does not come from writing into laws, but from the action of internal and external forces in this state. Does Putin know about this? I think he undoubtedly knows, but in order to refine the minds and to keep silent about the main thing, he consistently pursues his propaganda line about a mine, or, as he once said, even about an atomic bomb, under the USSR. He portrays himself as a kind of sapper, who neutralizes a mine from the past, and strengthens the state for the future.

Corr .: And what is the main thing, which Putin is silent about?

VT: The main thing is that any state is an institution of class domination. The Soviet Union was built as a state of workers. The Great October Socialist Revolution established Soviet power in the country as an organizational form of the dictatorship of the proletariat. The very next day after the revolutionary coup and the overthrow of the Provisional Government at the Second Congress of Soviets of Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' Deputies, the rule of the working people was proclaimed, i.e. dictatorship of the proletariat. The power of the working people was the foundation, the foundation on which all structures were erected and great peaks were conquered.
The main national-territorial structure of the USSR, we note, absolutely equally understood by Lenin and Stalin, was Soviet power, that is, the organizational form of the implementation of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Stalin said this in his speech at the II All-Union Congress of Soviets on the death of V.I. Lenin stressed: “The dictatorship of the proletariat was created in our country on the basis of an alliance of workers and peasants. This is the first and fundamental basis of the Republic of Soviets . "
The Soviets are the most stable of all known history forms of the dictatorship of the proletariat, not only because the Soviets have existed longer and have great things behind them. Their stability and the greatest adequacy for fulfilling the function of the dictatorship of the proletariat is determined, specifically, by the fact that the Soviets rely on the objective reality that unites people of labor - their organization in the process of material production. (Bourgeois parliamentarism is also based on objective reality, but this reality is expressed by the omnipotence of money in the world of universal commodity production, the cult of capital, the spirit of profit). In the Soviets, for the first time in history, workers received the right to use their organization in the labor process to conduct business management of society and political decisions - to elect deputies in their labor collectives, as well as at any time to withdraw them, to control the bodies of state power, to ensure, thus, the subordination of the state to its interests. In 1917, the highest, truly progressive form of democracy was established - proletarian democracy - for the working people and for the working people, Soviet power.
The workers, as you know, do not need to divide places on the market for trays. They will always agree with each other. History has proved that the destruction of the Soviet Union, while the power was Soviet, and the party was communist, could not be either internal or external enemies, even such vanguards of imperialism as Hitler's fascism. And this same story has shown that after the party and the state lost their class character, the state was destroyed quickly, relatively without resistance, by heading towards the market, that is, towards capitalism. So once again we emphasize the crucial importance of the class basis of the state.
And Mr. Putin eludes this certainty in every possible way, I think for obvious reasons - he does not want to admit that today Russia is a state of the ruling class of oligarchs and exploiters, among which his friends, classmates and acquaintances are very densely represented. Simply put, this is a classic example of a corrupt structure. Like all capitalists at all times, in order to disguise this picture, the authorities rely on the allegedly existing nation-wide character of the state. This, of course, is stupidity, or rather - in power it is a deliberate lie. This is stupidity among the comrades from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, who, following Zyuganov, declare themselves to be statists and dream of some kind of government of popular confidence under a bourgeois system. For this, the authorities are grateful to them and even give awards, for example, to Zyuganov - the Stolypin medal.

Corr .: And the right to exit?

VT: The right to exit only strengthened the alliance, helping the nationalities and minorities to overcome the justified mistrust and fear from the past times of tsarist life. It's like in a human marriage, the right to dissolve it is not given for compulsory use, but in order for the family union to be created consciously and freely, which means it would be stronger and happier.
And the hopes for writing in the laws, which Putin trumps, without a political and economic basis turns out to be a beautiful phrase or an empty phrase. Remember the fate of the referendum on the preservation of the USSR in 1991.Most people unequivocally spoke in favor of preserving the Union, but the course towards the market and the contenders for the new gentlemen did not give a damn about the will of the people who had the highest power, and destroyed the country in order to rule in divided parts and even play off the peoples. with a friend, as Stalin noted, in the defense of his market and his master producers. By the way, Vladimir Putin, together with his then boss, St. Petersburg Mayor Anatoly Sobchak, undoubtedly participated in this process personally.
Corr .: Do you think that Putin understands all this and deliberately distorts history and reality? Why?

VT: I just cannot imagine that he did not know this. After all, I am a year older than Putin and studied with him in the same school # 281. I know our teachers of history and social studies, Malyshkina Vera Konstantinovna and Tamara Zinovievna Stelmakhova, and therefore I do not allow any doubts about their competence and conscientiousness. I spoke with Vera Konstantinovna shortly before her death, incl. discussed the strange transformations of both former students and former ideologists of the party, and Soviet leaders. They remembered that history is today's politics, looking into the past. So we understand the efforts of the bourgeoisie and its guarantor to present history in a favorable light. As the theory says, being determines consciousness.

Note that Putin examines the example of the republic's secession from the USSR from a purely commercial position : “The procedure for secession from the Union was not spelled out. As a result, the republic, which became part of the USSR, received in its baggage a huge amount of Russian lands, traditional Russian historical territories. The right to withdraw was spelled out in the Constitution, but the procedure was not spelled out. As a result, the republic could secede from the Union not “with what it came”, but “taking away” with it “gifts from the Russian people”.
Putin with a monarchical sweep on Russian historical territories presents the reason for the fact that it was allegedly not spelled out in the constitution and laws. But he is silent about the fact that the foundation itself was destroyed! After all, the republics were united, incl. entered and joined the state of workers. And when it became a tool for enriching fatty people, it is naive to rely on procedures.

The composition of the republics that voluntarily entered the USSR

Corr .: That is, Putin is naive?

VT: Of course not. After all, he chooses from past experience what suits him or distorts it in the way that seems right to him. Let us note how he asserts: "The Communist Party also did not fulfill the promises" The land to the peasants, factories to the workers. " At the end of the First World War, the land and factories were nationalized. In fact, the workers did not get these factories, the land did not get. ... For all these parameters, in fact, they said one thing and did another. With more or less success, they did just that, ”the head of state said.
Here Putin is silent that both the land and the factories were nationalized by the state of workers and peasants, so that everything was done and all the social achievements of the USSR were built on this basis. But he really likes the formula “they said one thing and did another”, which he uses today, and very skillfully, as exemplified by the survey on amendments. Many thousands of words have been said about the protection of animals from TV screens, and silence about the resetting of Putin's terms.
Correspondent: Putin also remembered: “Then the thesis was generally wonderful in order to attract the army to his side. "No war, no peace." This was Trotsky's idea. "And we will demobilize the army." But the army was not needed, because they themselves had disintegrated it by this moment, the front had disintegrated. The army even posed an internal political threat, a huge number of armed people who rushed back and forth without any understanding of what was happening and what needed to be done. But "No war, no peace" is a very strange thesis. This was also quickly abandoned, and with the help of a carrot and stick they began to create a workers 'and peasants' Red Army, and they succeeded so well. “… But I say that according to all these parameters, in fact, they said one thing and did another. With more or less success, but they did just that, ”said the head of state.

VT: He's lying again. However, it is understandable not to tell him that this Trotskyist trick "No war, no peace" was categorically suppressed by the party and Lenin, and the Red Army was created not with a carrot and a stick, but on the basis of the first conscious volunteers who responded to the call of the Decree "Socialist fatherland in danger ". By the way, the authorities celebrate the Day of the Defender of the Fatherland on February 23. An example of the privatization of glory and parasitism in history.

Decree "Socialist Fatherland in Danger"

Corr .: Thank you for the conversation. In conclusion, please tell me how, in your opinion, Putin as a person understands that he is telling a lie and doing injustice?

VT: I think humanly, if he does not clearly understand, then he feels and is afraid of it. That is why he never, not once, met in face-to-face debates with any opponent on the air. This is such a psychological inferiority complex, I would say, renegade syndrome. Indeed, by and large, he betrayed his father's business, betrayed the oath. He is looking for excuses, trying to create support in the form of religiosity and the cult of the ROC. Well, you can't believe us that a KGB officer sincerely believes in God.
So everything has a completely material basis. Putin defends himself, loved ones, his class in this campaign of constitutional amendments. The interests of the people are not present here. This means that the struggle of the people for their interests is the business of the people themselves.
