Russian central bank confirms block on foreign bids to sell Russian securities
One of the parlament members floated the idea of seizing (*) people's savings to offset the effects of the sanctions.<p>Though "floated" doesn't quite capture it - he apparently "explained" that this will be necessary and "reminded" that the government will have no choice but to "arrest" the savings of Russians to deal with the crisis. To a question of whether these funds will be repaid, he said that it'll take several generations to to do so, at which point it will all be eaten by an inflation.<p>They are all puppets, so it doesn't matter who said it exactly and in which context. It's the message that matters. And the message is chilling.<p><a href="https://news.ru/economics/v-gosdume-prokommentirovali-vozmozhnuyu-konfiskaciyu-sberezhenij-rossiyan/" rel="nofollow">https://news.ru/economics/v-gosdume-prokommentirovali-vozmoz...</a><p>* fixed the typo, kudos to rob74
