“Why shoes?”, the otherwise so eloquent, Dmitry Peskov asked, obviously perplexed. “Why just a third? And where do these Numbers come from, anyway?” The answer is simple: The Numbers come from the Russian state statistical service, Rosstat, has asked in a comprehensive survey, 60’000 families across the country to their life circumstances. And one of the questions was: Can you buy each member of your family two Pair of comfortable and of the time of year custom shoes? 35 percent of the respondents answered the question with no.

And that’s even compared an improvement with the data of 2016: At the height of the financial crisis, almost 50 percent of Russian families could not afford two Pairs of shoes per Person. However, the simple calculation exceeds obviously the imagination Peskows and confirmed many Russians what they fear: their leadership has lost all sense of how the people’s lives – namely the poor. According to the survey, 80 percent of Russians complain that they have problems to supply themselves with the necessities of Life. 20 percent can’t afford no fruit, even in the summer.

700’000 Swiss francs on the wrist

Sands has believed either of their own Propaganda, in the running from the beginning of a decisive fight against poverty. Or it is due to the fact that he lives not only in another world, but on another planet. When he married three years ago, the ice Princess Tatiana Navka, he wore a rare luxury watch with a Skull on it to the value of around 700’000 Swiss francs on the wrist. His honeymoon, he spent, according to the anti-corruption fighter Alexei Navalny on one of the largest sailing yachts in the world, the Maltese Falcon, off the coast of Sardinia. Rental costs, according to Navalny, the 400’000 francs per week.

According to Peskov maligned survey can afford, by the way, only every second Russian family for a week vacation per year. And luxury there is in the everyday lives of people are practically no, Two-thirds of the country’s population have no toilet in the house and need somewhere in the yard to the Loo.

His daughter lives in the West

Also the political Sands shifting often between poetry and truth. Before the annexation of the Crimea, he has the Image of Russia by an American PR company to maintain that the Kremlin has paid tens of millions of francs. Since he was in 2008, Putin’s spokesman, he criticises the West at every opportunity for his supposed anti-Russian stance and rejects any criticism of the occupation of the Crimea decided: Russia okkupiere not Ukrainian territory and they were ready to explain each and every Ukrainian citizen, said he recently to the address of in Kiev, the leading Ukrainian presidential candidate Volodimir Selenski. This prevents Peskov but not to announce his personal Pride in the fact that his daughter is living in the evil West, and even an internship at the European Parliament. His son leads to life, meanwhile, according to Russian media, an expensive luxury, no fixed place of work.

a private matter, replied Sands. But not quite: The press Secretary the Russian President is very close, and when he speaks, his quiet, a little too high, and always hoarse voice, it is as his master speak in person, he adores apparently. “Putin is the absolute leader in the public opinion, with him, no one can keep up,” he explains. But the thing with the shoes for the common people, which has wiped Peskov as arrogant as the “academic question” aside, is detrimental to its President. Finally, Vladimir Putin has promised to the people, to halve poverty in Russia to 2024. (Editorial Tamedia)
