global turbulence and crisis russia has managed to keep it stuck on a me and a lot but even the most efficient models become obsolete one day and new ways are to be found to meet new challenges prime minister and presidential candidate played a potent has published his version over how the russian economy has to be changed in the new rest future the article was warmly welcomed in general but some critics claim it's contradictory and say put in didn't propose any real solution so is the program a real remedy or rather intellectual speculation we're asking journalist shawn ramsey and the bladder or summat to. russia's prime minister vladimir putin has recently been sharing his vision for russia's development in this series of pre-election manifestos published weekly in major russian newspapers the first antico outlined his vision funded through lies in russian society and was

particularly addressed to the country's middle class the second touched upon issues of migration and zina fulvia these weeks article the third is considered by many of the most important so far as it deals with the country's economic revival presents a case for ending russia's dependence on roman. and sets two thousand and twenty as the deadline for reform. by then russia's hyper exports should double the same is expected to happen to the country's average salary couldn't also offers ways to attract capital into russia's economy among other things he insists on the so-called luxury tax for the wealthy. our general walking to the show thank you very much for being with us well first of all you both read the article have you find something in this article that indicates that if putin is elected or russia is

facing major economic changes be my guest please. well i think probably russia is on the move my feeling is that. good good things happening in russia the basically people are working hard there's a lot of interest in making russia a global economic power and it's a good thing so you know it's not only mr putin here we're talking about the russian people you know hundred forty million people who want to do something and want to book but let's talk about the article that it did you get an impression that putin is ready if he's reelected to start real change in the kind of the main point of this article is that we have no exactly how and when it is not a program is just a dream and he said in general i want to see

a rusher in this picture but he doesn't see how yet and that is the point which is criticized from many people i guess absolutely they are absolutely right and i have to tell you that. russia or it russian economy has a very long history like any other country and definitely we have some negative questions in the in our previous history and he didn't see us didn't tell us how to reorganize the koval how to do or to do to make the main direction of economy how to change the country of gods and oil production company to some many of those for example maybe to the company which will do the country which will produce gasoline or something else and he we have no this articles show. i understand putin's intention to to be objective to to be like a well i always journal we write articles so we try to be objective but when i read he's not a journalist he's the prime minister and i would be president so i get an impression

that trying to. be objective he's writing this article as somebody who's observing the economic situation russia from the outside looking for bearing no responsibility for the twelve hour so who is he addressing himself well that's interesting yeah i guess i get that feeling also because he deals very lightly with certain major very important and fundamental issues in russia's economy which was that the soviet union was a very powerful industrial country that did have a lot of what is what is used the term of its kind of its own new technology it had created its own area of expertise and a lot of independent from the rest of the world because of that because of the the wall the russian word for technology today is no how no how. is the russian front

technology that that's right and even kids now i mean i talk to kids about movies because i also make films filmmaker yeah i talk to kids and they don't know even new russian classics much less so the world is changing and russia is changing too and you really get that feeling i first came here in ninety one and then i was again spent some years here in the beginning of the nineties saw the coups saw the political the political movements but many way back to back to that subject i think. it's it's kind of you usual thing is well we what we want to do but he says you know of course there are there are a lot of specifics that can't be covered in four page letter but to me i guess you have the mistake a huge mistake it is the position of the person who declared before we had a very poor in economical way country yeltsin and all this period will try to

improve the situation and now dear friends and how it's the electorate i have to receive the possibility to start to look to looking forward and to do something that's not a position from the people of the foreigner or robber or point of view it's position of person who says yes we did something but it's not enough but we did something and we have to do something well here's a quote from the russian prime minister on why russia should develop modern technologies. russia must play a bigger part in the international division of labor not only as a supplier of commodities and managers but as a number of regularly related carting and technology at least some sectors otherwise we are doomed to deplete our resources by constantly changing down through expensive we're in technology to produce consumer goods materials and pharmaceuticals that we cannot develop ourselves. the world

this quote basically means that russia has not overcome its dependence on commodities which has been the goal of putin's government motives going to put his presidency and the medvedev presidency but. the article it doesn't contain any explanation why wasn't it over yeah yeah the point is excuse me the point is that he wrote what you want to listen to here. it is very good for you yes this were well it's a it's i'm sorry it's it's a good thing here he was if he was a presidential candidate from the outside it would be good to try to give people what they want to hear but when you're the presidential candidate from the inside he has been president have been for he owes explanations to people does he know if you remember the very old movie if we're talking about movies but by an irony of

ask a small be a little be a little baby what do you want that i will cut your hair or you will go to the summer house. and the girl said yes that's our how this here it all to you want you prefer you said yeah it's a good idea but i have no time just in this small article to give the explanation about how it is a program of the government it's not mine but in general i want to show you the way you want to go by this week yes that said it was a problem now it does a presidential candidate from the outside not the reelected one zero zero zero explanation. grateful to people the good dogs so he well his critique critique he made he talked about how certain government but are you so confident it has it hasn't worried me that he doesn't want to give them up they can't be answered inside the country. this is a well. i don't know i have to say there's a cultural gap here like for americans we do criticize ourselves and it's more

everything yes no but russians i mean there's a certain thing that from living in russia i don't know if that's changing but it kind of classically you don't criticize yourself too much well colorfully we're going to say russians are more self-critical than americans but we don't we don't get so critical when talking to foreigners we so frugal with each other you know we i thought again yes you were not alone together yeah and well i think russians are very self-critical in terms of criticizing the russians and if you're a hard on each other yeah you know the high standards of living standards lie like that but when it comes to themselves to say ok i made a mistake i did something wrong i mean what what is our position here in dollar on the show is that you didn't think that he had a making made a hint about mr mediator he said we lost four years i dream that dmitri

will come in the will stall these roses and it was my huge mistake and now i have to restart it once more time and that's why i declare to you what we will have to do that is the answer i guess well you did you get at least a hint from this article on what is put in the to do to my country less dependent on all forces who i did it's a it's a very kind of nice sounding plan i think it's seductive but again the question is says quite simply just like in the case of obama obama's finishing. for years he promised a lot of promises and now his goal is going for reelection he's not criticizing himself and saying i should have fought harder and i didn't have i didn't have clear when creating a medical system we don't really know about that their colleagues did to me every trial and to the right so in the sense is it sounds good to me but how's he going

to do it right there that's the question and i have to attract your attention of the one thing everybody said it's a very bad thing that the economy of russia belongs to the gas and oil and we somebody declared we have to build new factories which will be reproduced oil and to produce the gasoline and to bring it to the market will but nobody have to ask himself who care about our give them who we are in a common market with our blood again because in a world where there are a lot of store maybe we have to do something else say journalist shawn ramsey lattimer some of the spotlight will be back shortly after a break so stay with us don't go. the closest she has been to the whole bar of screeching for the country's little

wealth starts its way across the ocean. now our chief goes to the area. once named after lenny good looking to a different character to represent itself. for local businesses are striving to build the aviation capital of russia. for the four by fours are made and can be tested to the limit. welcome to the screeching. russian close up on our.

very welcome back to spotlight time algor norman just a reminder that my guests on the show today are journalist shawn ramsey a journalist and filmmaker and blood thinner some magneto businessmen and journalist and filmmaker and a filmmaker not sound we're going to get him and i thank you thank you very much both. for being here just a reminder that we are discussing the latest article published in the a and one of the russian papers by a part of about lattimer put in the presidential candidate and then. let's listen to another quote let's hear what the prime minister says about what awaits the

russian manufacturer is in the w t l mark. i can see all the challenges that our exemption to the w.t. always putting before a number of industries in poland and i would like to assure them that i will do my best tradition based problems however the manufacturers of industrial and technological goods must be clearly aware that the days of competing in the single national market have gone from now on there will be no palpable leashes for high tech products and there will be only one market the global one. so here's the dr again you promises to question but are you proud or anti w.r. in terms intel i mean for russia what was your storage in my opinion every my time i i was again is this the. because we are talking about how to develop in a different kind of directions our economy if for will try to produce sure's

or dress or food or something else we have a lot of samples as which come to us abroad from abroad like import and like we see here and for example you have very such good although the russians only really are the jackets yeah so how you will have to organize the competition between us so if we will open the gates you have to know what you will do next time if your. introduce somebody or at direct some attention to come to your market you have to understand what you will do we have no the same you we have no plan that is the biggest mistake but in general to be involved in the world economic relations definitely is good but how sharing this is complaining that i quote most integrated companies the favorite brainchild of put himself have so far failed to become globally compared.
