Russia is 'stupidly losing everything' and no one understands why? 0 9

Oleg Deripaska writes in his Telegram channel: "By the way, about inflation. In conversations with colleagues during these long weekends, there was a clear sense of bewilderment — why is there no joint action program from the Government-Central Bank-business to reduce inflation by increasing the supply of goods and services that possibly provide an alternative and contribute maximally to inflation?**

No one in the business community understands how high (even exorbitantly high) rates on predatory loans from state banks, as well as the voluntary, absolutely insane overvaluation of the national currency — the ruble (which has already led to a decline in the competitiveness of the Russian economy), will help lower prices for goods in the consumer basket! That is, for radishes, milk, electricity, diesel fuel.

None of my interlocutors could provide a coherent answer. The whole country is scratching its head. Where are these smart people who will explain how the price of chicken or eggs in June 2026 will be lower than it was in November 2025?

P.S. All the business-minded and reasonable people in the country have a roughly similar opinion: **we are just stupidly losing everything that we managed to mobilize in 2022–2023 through such hard and persistent work. There is some extremely primitive experiment going on, which will end in the bankruptcy of thousands of companies and enterprises that are quite capable of working for the benefit of our God-chosen country," noted the Russian entrepreneur.
