I recently wrote an article in which I attempted to systematize all the different kinds of «enemies of the people» that exist in modern-day Russia. Just two weeks later, it turned out that the list is outdated – yet another category of people needs to be added to it: journalists who in their articles write about the economic crisis in Russia and the causes that have produced it.

Poster from the times of the USSR. The text (in fine print) on the poster: «American number – minus 22 percent bears witness to the economic crisis that has already begun in the United States and together with this to the crisis that is growing in all capitalist countries. The Soviet number – plus 20 percent speaks of the further mighty rise of Soviet industry». The evil capitalist is holding a paper entitled “war plans” and has a lightning bold forming the word “Crisis” over his head. The main slogan (in large print) says “Same years, different «weather»”.
