The Commonwealth of Independent States Convention

Today I was very busy at the Commonwealth of Independent States convention. I approved the economical development strategy for the period to 2020 in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova. Also I had bilateral (tiresome) talk with Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.

It was quite hard to speak with Yulia as she pretended not to understand Russian language. I asked her to invite the president of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko next time. As I can easily speak English with him and he will translate from English to Ukrainian for Yulia. All time she mumbled a few words "Maidan" (probably she meant Iron Maiden), "Orange" during our conversation. Finally, thanks for my patience and my linguistic skills some important decision were accepted.

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".

The secret of shaky ground

I get a lot of questions from Western countries readers about shaky ground. The people who never have been in Russia are interested in this phenomenon. From first glance it seems that these people on video are drunk but it is common misconception that I am going to disclose.

As you may know Germany occupied the huge territory of USSR during the World War 2. Nazis were really close to the Moscow and Saint Petersburg at this time so the military factories in these cities could be easily destroyed by air attack. Therefore USSR government moved the most important factories in the capital and ex-capital under the ground. When the Cold War kicked off these factories started to produce ballistic rockets. Only the most reliable and devoted KGB officer had admission to the factories. Every officer at an underground factory had to know fundamental Karl Marx‘s and Lenin’s works by heart. When USSR collapsed lots officers remained underground as they knew that the future of Russia depends on them as the ballistic rocket is the only power to restrain the foreign aggression.

Gorbachev and Yeltsin tried to stop the underground factories in order to be popular on the West but the braveKGB officer did not give up to populists and continued to produce Russian nuclear shield. When I became the president of Russia I easily contacted with underground KGB officers and took over the secret factories.

As you may guess all areas close to the underground factories are quaked under pedestrians’ feet and sometimes you can see result like this.

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.
