The political agenda of the outgoing week was determined, first of all, the news of the foreign policy front, the main of which is the statement of the terrorist movement “Taliban”* On the establishment of control over the entire territory of Afghanistan, after leaving the region of the United States. This departure was either a logical and thoughtful step from Washington, or by flight and geopolitical failure, admitted by the American hegemon who could not create a full -fledged statehood on the Afghan land. One way or another, in the hands “Talibana”* The whole country turned out to be, with the exception of one of the provinces, which still remains uncontrollable to them – this is a panjshman where the son of the Talibans is rendering Ahmad Shah Masuda – The legendary field commander of the Mujahideen (today the only forces in Afghanistan that can resist the Taliban and already winning the first local victories). Despite the fact that Russian officials are very loyal to the coming of Islamic fundamentalists, the very essence of this extremist current – in the constant expansion of their influence – this means that the situation that has developed in Afghanistan poses a serious threat, and in the near future Russia, probably, probably, It will be necessary to strengthen its military presence in Central Asia (the region traditionally included in the orbit of the Kremlin’s military-political interests).
To the other news of the week:
-In the regions, anxiety associated with socio-economic well-being is growing. Researchers record that currently real income of Russians more than 10% lower, than eight years agoalso during this time, the availability of goods and services has significantly reduced, and the gap between the average salary and the average pension in Russia has reached its maximum over the past 13 years. Already at least 77% of Russians Their current work or the level of monthly wages does not suit them, and 53% of Russians They are forced to earn extra money, since they lack the main income. Under such conditions, the level of closing citizens is growing (Russians took only the last month 1.7 million inappropriate loans). Social stratification is visible with the naked eye, it can be fixed even by the so -called “Borshchtiy set”whose index recently has been applying for the next “scraper” in the minds of society and even the Kremlin;
-Russian aviation Lost three military aircraft at once in the week. Amfibi aircraft Be-200 I crashed in Turkey when performing the task of extinguishing forest fires.

– President approved the national plan for countering corruption for 2021 – 2024. The document includes a very voluminous list of anti -corruption measures, which may indicate the desire of the head of state to expand the anti -corruption agenda;
-Political apathy of Russians, most likely, will lead to the fact that the composition of parliamentary parties in the new convocation State Duma will remain unchanged, according to experts of the party “United Russia” Get it 305 seats in the lower house of parliament, party “Communist Party” can count on 62 mandate, “LDPR” on 40 mandatesand the united party (Summarizer) on 33 deputy chairs.
