Statement by the Yabloko branch in Altai, 21.12.2020
Increasingly more people in Russia are beginning to understand that the policy of the ruling regime has led the country to a dead end, depriving the people of the future.
The multi-day voting “on stumps” on an amendment to the Russian Constitution, in order to reset the presidential terms of Vladimir Putin, during the Covid-19 pandemic, demonstrated the authorities’ disregard for the lives and health of Russian citizens.

Political Entropy. Digital Technologies and the Globalisation of Disorder. (Chapter 5)
Grigory Yavlinsky’s website, 18.12.2020
These days virtually all economic analysts concur that the pandemic and its consequences are exacerbating key negative trends in the global economy, such as the increasing gap between stock market indices and real economic processes, the rise in monopolies and growth of inequality. Arguably, the pandemic is consolidating the political power of oligarchic interests and postponing the opportunity to implement urgent economic reforms, creating an extremely conservative economic context (See «The pandemic and politics»).
When considering the link between the global financial and economic crisis of 2008-2009 and the current recession with long-term trends, fundamentally new factors were identified in the modern global economy1. For example, consolidation of the impact of historical and technological rents on structural changes in developed countries to the benefit of the new economy, and reinforcement of material inequality both within developed economies and also in the global economy, and also a change in the nature of the impact of scientific and technological progress on the economy. The thesis that public perceptions of benefits play a far bigger role in the economy than commonly believed has been confirmed.
