Besides for one more time it became clear that Russian bank sector as a whole (and not only CB) is not influenced by patriotism: commercial banks that received government aid to overcome liquidity crisis[4] immediately distinguished themselves in the banks statistics by increasing purchases of foreign currencies and transferring financial assets on overseas bank accounts, although financial aid was given to support the real sector of Russian economy. Then representatives of the real sector started to complain that they were having hard times in obtaining credits and in consequence were forced to save money by decreasing production volumes, cutting salaries and laying off people. Hence crisis is spread through chains of exchange of goods both in real sector and in end-consumption sector.

Correspondingly one of the problems of overcoming the crisis in Russia consists in overriding Central Bank and whole banking sector to the state and its crisis recovery policy. This task might prove to be more difficult than “forcing Georgia to the peace”.

But main problem is inadequacy of historic science, sociology and economics, which is supported and reproduced by educational system in these fields, by Russian Academy of Science (RAS), Higher Attestation Committee (HAC) and scientific councils that award candidate and doctorate degrees in history, sociology and economics – those are the “gurus” officially acknowledged by state officials[5] as intelligent and competent professionals. And as we know those are big on giving advices…

Because crisis is primarily a manifestation of intellectual and creative bankruptcy of historically formed social science, in order to advance in development our country needs to:

Turn RAS into community of interest, suspending its unofficial status of “ministry of science”

Annul already awarded degrees of candidates and doctors of science and HAC and respective science councils were dismissed for being useless[6]

Deviate from historically formed educational standards, primarily in history, sociology (inc. psychology and economics). Those need to be qualified as giving students an opportunity to learn about alternative opinions and views. It is only through such sort of deviation from standards that new knowledge, adequate to new needs of social development, can be introduced in the system of development of new generation of specialists.

On the one side abolition of scientific degrees will free many people from necessity to waste enormous amount of time and effort on writing dissertations and participating in its defense procedures, even more because dissertation defense is only a basis for receiving “official statements” to the fact that degree-holders are certified “know-it-all’s by default” [7] . On the other hand this measure will force at least part of officials to stop covering their expensive irresponsibility (funded by tax-payers) with science degrees and titles of brought in “guru”-consultants, and try to understand on their own the heart of the matters and learn to tell real professionals and experts whose advice can be trusted from those sweet-talkers who take “consulting” for if not a horn of abundance than at least for guaranteed free lunch.

Besides, as we mentioned in analytical note of IP USSR “It is not worth making the same mistake twice” in the series “On the current moment” № 11 (71), 2007, “socio-economical theories of liberal-bourgeois nature are principally not suited for realization of “Putin’s Plan”, because rise of Russia as a great state and major player of global politics is deeply repugnant and unacceptable for leaders of liberal-bourgeois West. Therefore based on liberal-bourgeois sociological and economical principles, these theories will inevitably become legal cover for political sabotage of “Putin’s Plan” by liberal-bourgeois branch of masonry”

This is exactly what is happening at the moment: Russia was affected by the crisis “thanks to” its economic science, to its officials ideologically dependent on the science, to its banker and stock brokers and to its morally rotten “elite” in general. And now, actions of state officials, banking and stock moguls in Russia only aggravate the crisis, which in the best case scenario will slow down realization on “Putin’s Plan” if not kill it in the bud because current management will lead the country to full-on economic disaster. On the day when G-20 started its summit in Washington, newsru.com source published the following information:

“Judging by the poll of working Russians about 30% of companies were affected by the crisis: 9% of the respondents say that their employer had delayed salary payments, 6% indicate that there have been a few cases of lay-offs[8]. At the same time 60% of employed respondents(35% of all respondents) sate that their colleagues and employees of various companies have not experienced any effects of the crisis. In addition, sociologists of point out that these figures haven’t changed in the past week.

At the same time monitoring of personal well-being of respondents (in their own opinion) shows that for now only insignificant number of Russians were personally affected by the crisis. Today, according to FOM’s research, 37% of polled state that in the past 2-3 months state of their personal finances has worsened. Here sociologists point out that even before the crisis (in summer and in the beginning of autumn) this indicator has been constantly at 30% mark.” ().

Those “powerful ideas”, necessity of which declared D.A. Medvedev in Washington, have already been voiced by Concept of Public Safety (CPS) organization, but were ignored by the regime since parliamentary hearings in 1995. Apparently the regime does not need them. And massive preparation of executive and governmental personnel is and will still be carried out based on ideas that were proven harmful.

And this is despite the fact that lingering crisis of post-soviet society in Russia obliges the state to educate executive personnel not based on new ideas (whether already published or not formed yet, but in some way alternative to traditional thinking) but based on methodology of figuring out new ideas adequate to current reality by each individual facing one or another problem.

For now, the regime have not taken any measures as to lead the country out of algorythmics of development of times of troubles, which was described in analytical note of IP USSR "Time of troubles: its origin, rise, overcoming…” from “On the present moment” series #11 (59) 2006. The regime continues leading the country to the collapse of “mass-elite” culture. And the regime cannot avoid responsibility and say that it has no knowledge about it: photograph on the left shows , First Deputy Chief of Staff of V. Putin’s Administration as he holds one of the issues of above mentioned article. As you can see the issue is in quite large format (A3 paper to be exact) and designed in contrast colors (designed to be noticed) – so obviously such article can be either ignored or taken into consideration.

To learn more about similarities in personalities of V. Putin and see analytical note of IP USSR “Egoists are doomed to be and die as slaves…” in the “On the present moment series” #5 (65), 2007.

To comment on it in the light of the events happened after it was printed – it is necessary to add that the beginning of the end of reign of B. Godunov was an economic crisis – several years of bad harvest, that caused famine in many regions of the country. Then B. Godunov opened state granary to the people, but was not able to organize efficient allocation of the grain. It resulted in quick rise of mass speculation, possibly fueled by Godunov’s political opponents, which only aggravated the situation. Very soon after that Godunov died and (not taking into account 4 years long reign of V. Shuisky, a.k.a. ) Russian tsardom was taken over by a man who called himself Dimitriy and who according to the prevailing belief of historic community was playing the role of somebody he was not (in other words )
