The rising cost of living is not accidental.
Who stands behind it?

It is a system in which the lower strata of the population pay for war, interest on private credit, and the luxury of the upper ten-thousand.

The worker receives more rubles, but buys less. The pensioner reduces consumption. Small business goes bankrupt under unbearable credit conditions, rising logistics costs, retail shelf rents, and more. At the same time, banks, retail chains, raw-material magnates, and military contractors collect superprofits.

It is self-evident that the policy of setting nationalities against one another is the very instrument employed by monopolies and corporations.
