According to him, now there are a lot of attempts to analyze the situation, but one thing is obvious: it is difficult and requires a lot of well-coordinated work from the authorities and participants in economic life.
“It is obvious that this threat of coronavirus and the consequences that this threat to economic life provoked is so unprecedented that for the most part many attempts to analyze are unlikely to hit the bull's eye,” Peskov told reporters.
He also noted that it is incorrect to talk about a separate plan to support the middle class in connection with the pandemic. As the representative of the Kremlin emphasized, we are talking about the need to minimize the consequences of the crisis for all citizens.
Earlier, the rector of the Higher School of Economics, Yaroslav Kuzminov, said that the Russian middle class has “serious risks of falling into poverty”.
