Commentary by Russian military journalist is in italics.

[ColonelCassad] The head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Bastrykin, called for the nationalization of the main sectors of the Russian economy.

Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin proposed to nationalize the main sectors of the Russian economy. About it writes RIA Novosti.

According to him, we are talking about "economic security in times of war.


“Let's take the path of nationalization of the main sectors of our economy,” suggested the head of the UK.

These are no longer the slogans of the Communist Party, this is the head of one of the most influential law enforcement agencies.

Fans of Gaidar and the Higher School of Economics will obviously not approve.In general, it is very interesting to observe how the ruling elites, in search of means of organizing warfare, are increasingly referring specifically to Bolshevik or Stalinist practices, because there are simply no other successful examples in the 20th century.

Moreover, hardly anyone can accuse the Russian ruling elites of great sympathy for the Bolsheviks. It's just that they turned out to be in the role of a cow in a bomb bay - if you want to live, you won't get so upset.

And the nationalization of strategic industries should be carried out. Here we can agree with Bastrykin.

And also, for example, return SMERSH, lift the moratorium on the death penalty, etc. and so on.

SMERSH was the Soviet strategic counterintelligence organization formed in 1943.

#3  Could this be what the colonel is referring to?

Redditt: Yup. This is a cow loaded up into a jet's bomb bay. Russian films, man, Russian films.
