It will hit ordinary people: that Russians may not forgive Putin Alina Burtseva

Russia plans to increase taxes on the income of enterprises and citizens. Such a Russian reform of increasing personal income taxes, according to economists' analysis, will affect almost 3 million Russians. They will be sharply dissatisfied.

About this 24 Channel said Russian opposition political strategist Abbas Gallyamov, noting that such tax increases occur when huge amounts of money are spent on the war against Ukraine. Discontent may intensify among a certain group of people who are more or less versed in politics. British intelligence is convinced that tax increases in Russia will most likely be used to finance the war.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin proposes lifting sanctions from Russia, although he previously said that Russians supposedly began to “live better” under these conditions. However, if the Russian dictator wants the restrictions lifted, then this means that he lied that they are “for the good”.

Who will be affected by tax increases in Russia

There is an understanding that money is being stolen in the Russian army. In Russia, a number of generals from the circle of the Minister of Defense were recently arrested. So Putin confirmed that funds for the war are not spent as efficiently as they would like.

“Under the pretext of financing a stupid war, I now have to finance the general's corruption.” People won’t like this at all,” said Gallyamov.

In addition, in a year the aggressor country may raise taxes by and for another group of people. Perhaps a new wave of dissatisfied ones will appear, because the situation in the economy is deteriorating.

“As for the tax on profits of enterprises, this will immediately hit the poorest segments of the population, because this is a pure tax, which will lead to a surge in inflation. Enterprises will simply shift their additional costs due to the tax, which will increase, onto the shoulders of the consumer,” the Russian emphasized. opposition political strategist.

Inflation affects the poor population, and not the wealthy. All Russians will feel this now.

What Russians do not will be able to forgive Putin

Regarding the war, the Russian population believes that it “has no right to argue” with Putin and “encroach on big politics.” The head of the Kremlin concluded an unofficial “agreement” with the people. Like, he is doing everything that will increase the standard of living of Russians, and they will not get involved in “big politics”.

That’s why here it is much more difficult for protest to materialize on issues of “big politics”, especially international relations, than on inflation, which affects the wallet of each individual citizen. People believe that Putin “has the right” to start an unnecessary war. But he has no right to worsen the standard of living, said Abbas Gallyamov.

However, it turns out that the dictator violated these agreements, if the standard of living of Russians is deteriorating. Therefore, they say, they do not have to be loyal to him.
