A solution to the traffic problem in Moscow

Moscow chokes on growing traffic problems because here used to be a limited number of cars in the Soviet Union. But when our people started to reap windfall profits from high oil prices, my capital was overwhelmed with traffic. Therefore our Ministry of Transportation implemented efficient solution of the traffic problem

A solution to Global Financial Crisis in Russia

The Russian banks have been affected by Global Financial Crisis recently and a lot of people have started to draw out huge amount of money from their debit and saving accounts. In order to avoid cash flow problem at the banks in the future Alexei Kudrin designed simple solution

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Nord Stream

I got a tremendous number of questions about my meeting with the famous composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. People wonder why I spent time to discuss Eurovision problem with Andrew. I even promised to give my vote for the United Kingdom at Eurovision 2009 in Moscow as Andrew composes songs for the UK Eurovision team. As you way know my vote is approximately 70% of Russian population vote therefore 12 points from Russia is guaranteed to the UK at this Eurovision. Also I will try to promote Andrew’s song in Belarus, Armenia and Moldova then the UK will get at least 10 points from each of these country.

Why I will do all of these “strange” things? As you may know Russian Government has a huge problem to build Nord Stream gas pipeline to link Russia and Germany and the Baltic Sea as Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia have all lobbied to reroute the pipeline. Andrew Lloyd Webber has a strong influence in the Parliament of the United Kingdom therefore Andrew can help us to promote Nord Stream pipeline in order to Gordon Brown put some pressure to some European countries. If this project is still blocked by some of these countries then all of Andrew Lloyd Webber songs will be not available for sell in Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.

GM cadillac did not pass test on the Russian roads

The problem with roads has been the biggest Russian pain in for centuries. When a car is tested and it shows good off-road capabilities, ... it still not enough to manage on our roads. As you can see a new GM Cadillac failed a road test in Russia yesterday

Money as debt by Paul Grignon

Some comments from director of this astonish movie Paul Grignon:

Born in Toronto, Canada in 1948, I first became suspicious of our money system when I was in high school in Ottawa. We were studying logarithmic functions such as interest and it struck me that a money system in which money accrues interest at every turn could only function with exponential growth of the money supply. Something did not make sense to me. I wasn’t sure what it was but I had a strong feeling that banking was a scam designed to benefit bankers at the expense of everyone else. I vowed never to get into debt to bankers.

As fortune would have it I got to (mostly) fulfill that vow. As a hitchhiking, backpacking young adult I was led to Gabriola, a forested coastal island off British Columbia, Canada where the building code was not yet in effect. My partner and I were able to take up residence in a tent, then a shack and as the years went by, and our four children arrived, our primitive shelter without water or power gradually evolved into a modest but comfortable owner-built paid-for home. This was achieved on a sporadic income that would never have been sufficient to buy a home had we gone the conventional mortgage route... read

Coca-Cola in Russia

Crazy things can be done with Coca-Cola. Some people use it for hiccup cure, an ancient coin cleaner, a grass greener and even for contraceptive. Russian scientists proved that Coca Cola is the best killer of injurious insects. As result our Ministry of Agriculture has an exclusive contract with Coca-Cola Inc for supplying the “brown liquid” to every farm in Russian Federation.

McDonald's expansion of its operations into Russia

The US Government are pumping (and printing) a lot of money into financial sector. The companies like AIG, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and etc. got unbelievable pile of money from the government. Opposite to the US Government I am focused to investing into real Russian economy.

I and Alexei Kudrin are going to prepare 120 billion roubles package for McDonald’s Inc expansion of its operations into Russia. Of course this amount of money is not enough to build a regular McDonald’s in every Russian town in order to avoid the national starvation. Therefore a new type of Macdonald’s was designed by our engineers to eliminate the federal budget overdraft. The first low-budget McDonald’s already has been started to operate in Saratov:

Obama's Presidential Limo

I hope everybody who keeps his eyes open on political news heard about the Giant Cadillac President Limo that GM is working on for Barack Obama. Of course this car will be assembled not in the USA where is GM almost have closed all factories. You probably guess about my hint that Presidential Limo will be build at the Russian assembly plant. This info is the top secret and there is no photo in official newspapers but our KGB officer made a few pictures of Obama with his new Presidential Cadillac, codename "Obamamobil" or "Barackar".

Invest in Real Russian Economy

I get a lot of questions and comments to my official website about the situation that I “shift of focus from the banking sector and stock exchanges to the country's real economic sector”.

I am going to explain my position on this issue to eliminate misconceptions that the readers living in Western countries believe in. Unfortunately (for USA) our scientists proved that a stock market is the mix of a casino and a finance pyramid. The people who play at the stock market think that they are making money but only sometimes and only some of them. If all debts and profits are summed up on long term then result is zero, from this perspective the stock market is a finance pyramid. The second problem of the stock market is gambling hence it appears some people (especially who is responsible for federal budget) can not stop to play as they addicted.

Russian government wants to direct money from the stock to the real companies and the factories. Unfortunately, a plenty of bankers have got addicted to the stock gambling. Therefore I invited people from KGB and bankers to Kremlin meeting on Monday. So we assigned one KGB officer to every banker in order to control that bankers will not spend bank’s money by gambling on the stock. Probably in the future we are going to handcuff banker with KGB officer during the day for better cash flow control inside of country. No more speculation in Russia and bankrupted pension and social funds.

Transnational corporations in Russia

As you may know Russian rapidly growing market is one of the most attractive in the world. Even right now when world economy has been shrinking Russia still shows stable growth. One of the first Transnational Corporation who understood Russia attractiveness is MacDonald’s. It opened the first restaurant in Moscow in the 1986. And a few days ago it opened a new restaurant on the South of Russia in Sochi, where is our best summer resort located.

This restaurant is a part of our preparation to Winter Olympics 2014 which will be hosted by Sochi in order to meet the USA Olympic team's needs of food.

Corruption in Russia!?

Today I want to discredit another foreign misconception about corrupted official in Russia.
The following video clip is best evidence:

The video was made after I finished my work and left Kremlin on foot. To get home I stopped a taxi cab and offered the driver 200 Rubles (about $8). The driver recognized me and tried to get more. He wanted to get 300 Rubles ($12) for such small distance. Fat chance! So I closed door and deny his proposal, because I care about not only the federal budget but also about my family budget, and I do not want to have any unexpected expenses. But taxi driver contemplated his mistake and accepted my price.

I pulled out flasher that any official higher than deputy minister is provided. But taxi driver told me that he had been instructed and had his own flasher in case of riding high-ranked official.

Ex-General Motors opens 1st Russian factory

GMC has opened a new factory in Russia today, at the moment Russia enjoys by far the best business environment, stable economy and rapidly growing market. Unfortunately, I could not visit the ribbon-cutting ceremony near St. Petersburg , so I delegated this mission to Dmitry Medvedev.

As you probably know GMC is running out of cash, by the end of the year the biggest out of the Big Three will have run out of cash completely.
And there is a high probability that General Motors will be no longer exists. Such an outcome would be a severe blow not only to the economy of the USA, but the world economy as a whole. Luckily, the Russian government and led by its strong leadership decided to step in and save the dying giant of auto industry.

One of my best friends and close associates Oleg Deripaska (accidentally he is also one of the richest men in Russia and the world, but these two facts are unrelated), the owner of Russian Machines [Русские Машины] has agreed to help GMC by buying out all of its stocks and assets (if there are still any left). As the result of this friendly acquisition GMC will join Russian Machines Group under the name Capitan Motors because according to our laws no company can have rank higher then Prime Minister (and I am only a Colonel).

Today the first car assembled at the Russian General Motors (renamed as Captian Motors) has left the factory. According to our national traditions this Cadillac has been made by high-ranking officials and GMC administration. So here is a picture of our first Cadillac in Russia:

The real reason of Global Financial Crisis

Dmitry Medvedev and I thought together and I decided that in the heart of the present financial crisis that originated in the US is emission of dollars and credit expansion. The mortgagers in the USA grabbed sub primes. Investment funds bought shares of companies on credit, taken on bail the same companies. Even the U.S. government arranged the war in their pleasure by taking public debt incredible size. The same happened in Russia: oligarchs bought up the companies, investment banks bought up stocks on credit and citizens bought houses and cars on credit. The reason for all scourges is the low interest credit. Everything started to shrink when the low interest credit disappeared.

Why was the low interest credit? Who is to blame? Mr. Greenspan should be blamed because He reduced the refinancing rate from 2000 to 2003 to almost zero. But why did he do that? He struggled with recession, which was caused by the collapse of Enron and similar companies
, who swindled all the 90s with the financial reporting.

Why did these companies swindle? They wanted to grow as fast as Internet based companies that did not bring any profit and sales. And when the Internet based companies had bellied up …

What was the prime reason behind that "unlimited" growth of the Internet based companies? The reason behind was stagnation which led to the prime rate reduction, which in turn entailed infusion of much money into venture funds. Next, when the rates went up, the Internet companies bellied up, the same happened to the companies like Enron and others. Ultimately, the events of 9/11 accelerated the collapse.

So the interest rate was so low in the early nineties as it was the way to struggle with recession. The reasons of recession in 90s were collapsed stock market and companies invested by junk bonds. Junk bonds were created by Michael Milken. Money for junk bonds was lent by savings and loan associations, which were not controlled. And as result stock market was booming.

Who created junk bond and savings and loan associations? Definitely not Milken. He only took advantage of the situation. But Ronald Reagan deregulated economy and Paul Volcker had increased the prime rate at the beginning and decreased it later, as result they got huge cash flow.

Why did they do that? They were struggling with stagflation. The reason of stagflation was Arabian oil embargo. Arabs have imposed the embargo in the USA as the way to struggle with Israel.

Should we blame Israel? No, because England promised to Jewish in 1916 to create Israel in Palestine. But Jewish lived in Palestine for 2 thousand of years and Arabs lived in Palestine for 1.5 thousand of years. So there would have been no problems if Jewish had been there all time.

Who deported Jewish from Israel? Roman Emperor Hadrian deport Jewish in 132 AD. Why did he deport them? Hadrian fell in love with a boy, Antinous. In October 130, while Hadrian and his entourage were sailing on the Nile, Antinous drowned, for unknown reasons, though accident, suicide, murder or religious sacrifice have all been postulated. The emperor was grief stricken. He ordered Antinous deified, and cities were named after the boy, medals struck with his effigy, and statues erected to him in all parts of the empire. Temples were built for his worship in Jerusalem, festivals celebrated in his honor. But Jewish were abused by this action, so they rebelled against Hadrian and as result were deported from Israel.

So the real reason of the Global Financial Crisis is… Antinous! The world is collapsing because of one GAY!!!
