Alexei Navalny, leader of Russian indignants, and Putin are in a bloody perpetual vendetta. Every month, they come up with new accusations against each other. Navanly has proven that Putin's United Russia is the party of crooks and thieves. Putin is determined to make Navalny’s life very miserable with imaginary stories, which show the childish character of Putin. Putin’s strategy is to keep Navalny busy defending himself in courts and public opinion about false stories, products of Putin’s weird brain!
Vladimir Ashurkov published a list of the top donors to a fund set up by anticorruption blogger Alexei Navalny, after persuading some tycoons, whom he dubbed the brave ones, to break a taboo against overt support of Putin's adversaries. Ashurkov’s strategy is to gather a critical mass of supporters who would openly enlist in an anticorruption revolt.
Navalny gained fame on Russia's blogosphere investigating minority shares in Russian state companies to expose corruption, a major source of middle-class disgruntlement and the Achilles heel of Putin's government. Discontent is growing throughout the entire population, and of course more so among the indignants.
Putin dismisses Navalny and his indignants, branding them chattering monkeys. The Kremlin has embarked on only limited political reforms in response to recent demonstrations, which attract 100,000 people on the streets of Moscow. But the protest movement has deprived Putin of his aura of invincibility, and Ashurkov hopes going public with Navalny's sponsors will inspire others to join his cause, despite the risk that their businesses could come under state pressure. Their message is that these people are not afraid, and you shouldn't be afraid either.
Putin accused Navalny of obtaining his lawyer's qualifications fraudulently! Putin hoodwinks that Navalny while applying to be a lawyer he had provided inaccurate information. Navalny has proven that most senior Russian officials are corrupt. In return, Putin has arrested Navalny many times and charged him with fraud! Putin hoodwinks that in the paperwork provided in his application to be a lawyer, Navalny said he had the necessary two years' work experience as a legal specialist. But, according to Putin, that was not accurate.
Senior figures in Putin's party resigned after Navalny produced documents accusing them of owning undeclared homes in the US. Navalny also has proven that Investigative Committee chief Alexander Bastrykhin, who is leading investigations against Navany, is a foreign agent, secretly owning real estate and other investments in Europe!
Navalny has been given a suspended sentence in his embezzlement trial. Navalny has indicated that his team is going to appeal the sentence.
Navalny cannot change his permanent place of residency without notifying a specialized government body which controls the suspended sentence. Moreover, he will have to register with this body twice a month.
Putin is interested in Navalny being sentenced, even though it’s only a suspended sentence. In such a way, Putin is depriving Navalny of the possibility of taking part in elections. After his impressive show in the mayoral elections and following the growth of his popularity, Putin is very afraid of him.
Putin says he will run for a fourth presidential term in 2018. This would keep him in power for a quarter century and make him the Russia’s longest-serving leader since Stalin.
Alexei Navalny, the leader of anticorruption movement, is now running for president of Russia. Navalny says: I want to become president. I want to change life in the country. Political corruption now in Russia is out of control. The party of crooks and thieves terrorizes Russians. Putin and his conspirators belong behind bars.
Medvedev says all levels of the state should provide more open data as public control over government tenders is a crucial part of a transparent government system. Medvedev says: This must be the enlargement of the volume of open data about the activities of authorities at all levels. This is the realization of the national plan of introducing the mechanisms of open state management and this is the constant public control in the sphere of state purchase and state investment. It is important to not only analyze draft laws and government programs, but also to monitor the legal practice on the basis of opinions of people who represent various social groups, professional communities and regions.
Russian authorities have uncovered a number of corrupt schemes with the help of ordinary people. This includes the previously widespread practice of deliberately altering data in state tenders published in the internet by replacing Cyrillic symbols with Latin and vice versa to make search impossible and to limit the number of bidders.
Public control also made it possible to uncover large-scale graft in the Russian medical sector – it turned out that many officials were receiving kickbacks for the purchase of expensive MRT hardware for large medical centers. The corruption reached as high as the Healthcare Ministry and the Control Directorate of the Presidential Property Department and several top officials were detained during a 2010 probe. When Medvedev, who was Russian President at that time, learned about the scandal he called the embezzlement shameless theft and ordered the Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor General’s Office to spare no effort in uncovering details of the scheme.
A Greek level of corruption has fettered the business activity and daily life of Putinland, and Russia's dependence on natural resources has only deepened during the years of Putin's rule. In April 2010, Putin signed a decree that suspended the publication of information about the assets, revenue, and expenditure of Russia’s two oil funds. This allowed him to manipulate government’s finances, while launching a pre-election spending spree, siphon off money for friends and allies, and camouflage bribes, kickbacks, and hush money. He boosted military and police spending by 35 percent, and promised future pay and pension increases for the armed forces, teachers and doctors. Putinlandians have been fleeced, pure and simple. Putin, a former penniless KGB agent, is now billionaire, thanks to bribes and kickbacks!
Russia is characterized by a tradition of a huge government. Political corruption is proportional to the square of the size of the government. That's why the political corruption of Russia is out of control. Political corruption is a major problem that every Russian can see. State purchase contracts have become the current breeding grounds for corruption. Russians have no confidence in a Russokleptocrat, such as Putin, who says high-sounding words about the national good but at the same time takes his money and assets out of Russia.
Russians think political corruption is out of control. Russokleptocrats are in cahoots with Orthodox mafias and Orthodox oligarchs. The four main Orthodox mafias are the Tambov Gang, Siloviki Clan, Izmaylovskaya Gang, and Solntsevskaya Brotherhood. Their activities focus on political corruption, church corruption, protection money, blackmail, drugs trade, shipping, commodity trade, and natural resources. Orthodoxy's circle of tycoons, such as aluminum magnate Oleg Deripaska, banking magnate Vitaly Malkin, and shipping magnates, have been investigated by Europol many times. Russokleptocrats use the Orthodox Church to control Putinlandians and influence Orthodox Christians all over the world.
The most serious reason prompting Putin to hold on to power is the atmosphere of wealth and luxury to which he has become accustomed. Putin, the kickback billionaire, has at his disposal sixty planes and helicopters, twenty palaces, and ten yachts. Putin’s Ilyushin airplane features a twenty-million-euro cabin fitted out by jewelers and a toilet seat that costs a hundred thousand euros!
Putin has developed a critical mass system for brainwashing Russians. Every single day, Putin invites all kinds of fireflies, important influential people from all professions and all industries. Squandering the Russian taxpayers’ hard-earned money, the Russian government pays all travelling and entertainment expenses of Putin’s fireflies. Putin, instead of doing his presidential duties, wastes his time and uses government facilities for personal propaganda. Putin’s fireflies influence hoi polloi of Russia to the tipping point of electoral victories of Putin.
Since Putin first took office a dozen years ago corruption has worsened. Investigations of Russokleptocrats have been making headlines throughout Russia. The most prominent casualty at this point has been the long-reigning defense minister from Putin's former cabinet, Anatoli Serdjukov, who tried to bypass Putin in the distribution of military kicbacks. The message is clear, nobody can bypass Putin! Serdyukov has made billions of euros from bribes in defense industry privatizations. But so have many other Russokleptocrats, such as the head of the Russian Space Agency and the Health Minister Tatyana Golikova.
Agriculture minister Elena Skrynnik has practiced extreme nepotism and her kith and kin have seen their personal wealth skyrocket with bribes and kickbacks of billion euros. Elena Skrynnik owns luxury homes in France and other European countries. Oleg Donskich, Skrynnik's right-hand man, has a warrant out for his arrest and has left Russia. Leonid Novitskiy, Skrynnik's brother, a cross-country rally driver, became the head of Rosagroleasing, a large agricultural company supervised by his sister.
Investigators have summoned Skrynnik for questioning in a large-scale embezzlement case within the Rosagroleasing company. The state owned company leases agricultural machinery. Rosagroleasing entered several contracts with companies founded by Oleg Donskikh. Donskikh used his connections in company management to secured state funding for distilleries and cattle farms, but then stole and laundered the money. The fraud cost the Russian government thirty million euros.
Donskikh has been charged with embezzlement in absentia and remains on a federal wanted list. From 2001 till 2009 two billion euros were stolen from Rosagroleasing and the fraudsters were sending money to a British company founded by Skrynnik and a Russian company controlled by her brother.
There are myriad accusations with photographs of dilapidated industrial farming operations, with billions of euros set aside for their modernization, but rotting away nonetheless. Farmers complain that in Putinland there are no officials who think of the country. Today there is more being stolen than by the Bolsheviks and czars together. Russokleptocrats no longer fear anyone at all. Not Stalin, Lenin, God, the devil, police, or courts of justice. Indeed, government is the #1 enemy of the people.
Whoever breaks the speed limit on Russian streets, can simply grease a palm to avoid a fine. Whether in hospitals, schools and public offices, corruption has been proliferating year on year. Bribes can get one anywhere. A new political party has also been formed. It is called People Against Corruption.
Russians cannot do away with corruption, because Russia has no independent judiciary and no rule of law. To make serious headway against corruption will only be possible when Russokleptocrats end up on trial. That hasn't happened yet.
It's become clear that corruption is now an obstacle for political governance. In the past, Russokleptocrats tried dampening voices of protest through social welfare measures. They now have to reckon with the fact that hoi polloi know Russokleptocrats steal billions of euros on a consistent basis. Myriad Russians frequently take to the streets to protest the corruption of United Russia, the party of crooks and thieves.
Government is the #1 enemy of the people and the source of all major problems of humanity. Anarchy is the best political system. Basil Venitis, venitis@gmail.com, http://themostsearched.blogspot.com
