Gennady Zyuganov: we are obliged to warn countries
Well, about Putin’s impending default (material from the press

1. Putin squandered all the positive foundations of his
Primakov-Maslyukov government.
After August 1998, the "communist government
your Primakov-Maslyukov" (as the press called him)
managed not only to cope with the most acute crisis,
but also to ensure a sharp increase in industrial production
stva. What was done:
- Energy prices have actually been frozen and
services of natural monopolies
- Discount rates were reduced and the money supply was expanded
position- Exchange controls have been strengthened to reduce exports
for capital
- Rediscounting of promissory notes of manufacturing enterprises has begun
yatiy.
As a result, the average monthly growth rate of pro-
industrial production from October 1998 to June
1999 amounted to 2.3% (from October to March - 3.3%).
What gave hope at the end of 1999 to get a re-
ral growth of industrial production from 30 to 47
percent.
After the resignation of the Maslyukov-Primakov cabinet in
May 1999, almost a year under the governments of Stepa-
tire and Putin there was a sharp rollback. Namely:
- Under pressure from monopolists, new growth began
energy prices
- The Central Bank did not reduce interest rates accordingly
with a decrease in inflation, i.e. has risen sharply in price
loan
- Exchange control mechanisms were dismantled,
after which capitals “fled” from
countries
- Rediscounting of bills of exchange of enterprises was curtailed, i.e.
the channel of "cheap loans" is blocked
Result: indicator of the average monthly growth rate
production growth began to decline rapidly and towards the end
The 1999 rate fell 4 times, to 0.6 percent.
In just a year, the volume of industrial production increased
by 8 percent, and if the dynamics had continued,
laid down under the government of Primakov-Maslyukov, then
the result would be 3-4 times greater. This is the price
missed opportunities. Putin's office is squandered

governmentPrimakova-Maslyukova.

The government is adopting the wrong experience and
solutions that have proven their effectiveness, and
completely different “ideas” and practices. The best proof of this is

famous GKOs. This is already quite a significant action.
There is no need to talk further about any economic
chesical program. Everything becomes completely clear.
What next awaits the country with the continuation of political
tics of the Putin government? Only a new default.
If one of the creators of the 1998 default, Mikhail
Zadornov is shouting about the impending collapse of the ruble in April,
then how serious is the true state of affairs, everything
can understand without comment.
For more than six months, Mr. Putin actually led
lives in the country. It was possible to accept the most daring eco-
economic decisions that are long overdue and re-
matured. But instead we see not just many things
constantly marking time, and even moving backwards.
