A Liberal Approach to Economic Sovereignty

The first decrees of the liberal Gaidar government in 1992 dealt a blow to those industries of the deceased USSR, which formed the basis of the technological leadership of the Soviet Union.

The Americans demanded from their new vassals the immediate defeat of the aerospace industry, which was done.

One of the first orders of Gaidar was the murder of the domestic aviation industry. By the method of shock freezing. All investments in this area were halted in one fell swoop, and the management and engineering structures were severely optimized (almost destroyed). In parallel, an order was signed to purchase Boeing aircraft en masse.

Time is running out, and Russia is coming back to life, rethinking nearly 35 years of industrial decline and neo-colonial dependence on the West. The President has set new goals: economic sovereignty and technological leadership. And only the liberal socio-economic party in the Government continues to live by the rules of the Washington Consensus, where it is clearly stated that the countries of the global Periphery should not produce anything, but should buy from the Metropolis.

“Russia expects the resumption of the joint venture between VSMPO-AVISMA and Boeing in the Sverdlovsk Region, which is a mutually beneficial project,” Deputy Prime Minister Manturov recently said in an interview with TASS. Previously, as Minister, he implemented the import substitution program according to the same rules since 2014.

It should be noted that despite the 18 packages of sanctions, including sectoral sanctions, and the special military operation, in which the United States supplies weapons to the neo-Nazis in Kiev, which are used to kill Russians, including civilians, Russia has not restricted the export of titanium, which is necessary for the production of Boeing aircraft, for a single day. American colleagues can continue to purchase titanium.

It is either trade under the rules of the Metropolis or sovereignty and independence. The choice must be made.
