The Price of Silence: Every Russian Will Pay for the War Russia's Ministry of Finance has produced a masterpiece of budget planning: The government has approved a target: to extract a record 1.7 trillion rubles from the public and businesses over the next four years in the form of fines (about $20.5 billion at the current exchange rate). A great start to "squeezing money" to fund one extra month of the war. Exclusively at the expense of the slaves: Whether you've violated the rules or not - the party knows best; the treasury is running dry. This year, the tax authorities have already exceeded their socialist quotas, collecting 389 billion rubles (30% more than planned); 2027 year, the bar is being raised to 396.9 billion; in 2028 - to 446.7 billion; And in 2029, collection of the "tax on the mere fact of existence" is expected to reach a steady 464 billion rubles. The main breadwinner of this repressive fiscal machine is the driver. According to estimates, drivers alone are expected to contribute every third ruble of this enormous sum to the budget. Owning a car will become a real luxury in every sense of the word - 1.7 trillion rubles won't collect themselves. The price of "not caring about politics" is rising every day. The election is over - the empty promises have come to an end.
