Mehr zum Buch

The ruling elite's pursuit of control over society's resources creates significant contradictions, as they seek to reshape it for their benefit. President Putin's 2020 address highlighted the need for substantial financial investment in social support measures, particularly maternity capital, extending until 2026. This message marked a historic focus on social issues in Russia. Additionally, proposed constitutional amendments, including restrictions on officials living abroad and a minimum wage mandate, reflect a significant shift in governance during Putin's tenure.
