"Naked and Humiliated": Putin's 'Hideous Method' to Collapse Russia - The Russian Dude [View all]
Another absurd proposal has been made by the Russian government. To tax childless families. Even the proposal itself made a lot of people angry. For this reason, the probability of this happening is very low. But it reveals a big problem, that the Russian budget is extremely thin. And Putin looks for every opportunity to steal money from the people. The search for funds is now extremely crucial. But since the government is pretty dysfunctional, it will be a hard challenge.
