"Accounting" Consciousness and State Interests
A particular case of confrontation between liberals and “siloviks” in the leadership elite of the Russian Federation is considered. It is noted that the initiative of the Ministry of Finance to cut staff in the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is more a political phenomenon than a financial and economic one. It is emphasized that the action of the liberal-financiers is objectively aimed at destabilizing the state and society. The author gives a forecast of the political situation development if the scenario of the Ministry of Finance is implemented. Conclusions about the need to strengthen Russian statehood by adjusting the political course and economic line are made.
