Russia is entering misery. This was an emotion posted by former Russian Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin on his social media after May 7.
Rogozin did not give a reason, he simply wrote: "All the suffering of the war in Ukraine, the Russians have not yet experienced. War will probably soon befall every family! The price is huge, and victory will be difficult for us! ”
Rogozin served as Deputy Prime Minister of Russia from 2012 to 2018, after which he served as President of Aerospace
On May 16, according to the Russian-Chasian headlines, Putin's speech at the meeting of the two defense ministers, the chiefs of the general staff, and the commanders of major military districts on May 15 reminded people of one word: the state of the wartime economy.
At the meeting, Putin stressed that the appointment of Belousov as defense minister was due to the growing military spending (already 8.7% of GDP). Belousov knows very well how to integrate the economy of a powerful bloc into the overall economy of the country, which is extremely important. Because resources must be used efficiently.
You must know that Russia's military spending will be 3.7% of GDP in 2023 and 8.7% in 2024, and it can be seen from President Putin's speech that such growth continues. On this basis, President Putin's phrase "how to integrate the economy of powerful blocs into the country's overall economy" is reminiscent of the wartime economic model.
What happens when you enter a wartime economy? We can recall the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II in the defense of Moscow, in the defense of Leningrad, in order to save food, the Soviet army had to mix sawdust into bread, so that the Soviet black bread became harder and harder. Even so, black bread was still a longing for the Soviet military and civilians, and according to the market conditions at the time, a black loaf of bread was equivalent to the price of two watches, and it could help ten soldiers to last a day.
There is a story about the logistics staff who were driving to the front to deliver bread, and the bread was shelled by the Germans, and the bread was spilled all over the ground, but the extremely hungry citizens did not pick up the bread and stuffed it into their pockets, but silently gathered it and sent it to the front......
It is believed that the wartime economic model of Russia now is far less than that of that time, but as the war continues: the people need gasoline for medical care, education, vacation, travel, driving, and a safe atmosphere for life...... Will all this become increasingly tense or out of reach?
I think that's how it should be. Otherwise, Rogozin would not have made such an emotion and posted it on social platforms! You must know that Russia originally defined the name of the conflict as a "special military operation against Ukraine", and the people were not allowed to call it war.
But now Rogozin calls it war, and earlier than Rogozin is Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, who said in March this year: The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has actually brought Russia into a state of full-scale war. From September 2022, when Russia launched its first partial mobilization since World War II, to March 2024, Peskov said that Russia entered a full-scale war, which took a total of 18 months; And military spending rose sharply from 3.7% to 8.7%, and it took Russia a year.
And when will the war stop? No one seems to know that in this case, the wartime economic model of Russia can only be extended!
Over the past few days, I have heard people talk about the Russia-Ukraine war on the side of the street many times, and no matter how they talk about it, it will eventually come down to one sentence: as ordinary people, we always hope that there will be no war.
It is better to be a peaceful dog, not to be a troubled world, and the truth is deeply rooted in the blood of every ordinary countryman, which makes our civilization the most peace-loving civilization in the world - there is no one.
I think it is a great blessing for the people of China to always stand with peace based on the Chinese government's commitment to always stand with peace, and that China will not be involved in war.
Do not take peace for granted, Rogozin said that "all the sufferings of the war in Ukraine, the Russians have not yet experienced." War will probably soon befall every family! The price is huge, and victory will be difficult for us! ”
In comparison, all the unsatisfactory should disappear! Because we don't have to face the hardships of war: everything in wartime, life and death!
