Vladimir Vladimirovich, I have a question for you. It seems to me that your administration is deceiving you.

The country is struggling. It's getting harder and harder. I represent a small business.

Our business was doing very well. We even made it to Paris with our brand.

We had incredible prospects.

But now I see that people's purchasing power has simply dwindled to nothing.

People have no money. How did this happen? How did our great country end up in this situation?

I just don't understand why... To be honest, even my own spending has been drastically cut.

If I have to save and manage my spending so carefully, then what about the people

who have never been in business, who live on a salary?

Everything is getting more expensive. Why is nobody talking about this?

The tax reform is suffocating and very difficult, and we also don't know what tomorrow will bring.

We are looking for new markets, because we don't rely on Russia right now.

We understand that people have no money. But what should the rest do?

People don't even have money for children's activities right now.

So they started saving on this. I see what's happening. I talk to people.

Something must be done, because the people are suffocating from pain, as the song goes.
