Russia's State Duma launches an attack on Russia's Central Bank

time8 mo agoview6 views

As massive war-induced inflation is destroying Russia's economy, MP Mironov launches an attack on head of Central Bank Nabiullina for raising the key rate to 21% with prospects of unavoidably rising it even higher. What Mironov is doing, of course, is a pure populism - he knows it's not Central Bank that "creates" the inflation, but Kremlin's excessive war spending and redirecting all resources, including work force from civilian sectors. Mironov can't say that, so he's instead using Nabiullina as a scapegoat because criticising the real reasons would mean attacking Putin.
