“Officials” against the “nomenclature” – who’s worse

5

Discussing with people who had lived to adulthood in the Soviet Union, the situation in the world or in the country, almost always surprised by the vitality of myths, once stuck in their heads. A vivid example – the myth of the luxurious life of the “nomenklatura”, as it was called in Soviet times, the top of society .

It was considered that the item lives in some inconceivably beautiful conditions, and other Soviet citizens tirelessly work to ensure that these conditions provide. It was believed that this was primarily due to the low standard of living of ordinary “scoop” – the deficit of the most important things in life for him: sausages, toilet paper and so on. Which, as you know, when it still had everyone in the house and the fridge…

It is curious that even now, knowing about the official salaries of the current top of our society” officials” and “senior managers”, which, starting with the hundred thousand comes from the most senior to millions of dollars per month, the former “scoop” keeps the old envy and hatred of… nomenclature.

This is despite the fact that all the “privileges” of the nomenclature and formal service giving Yes food parcels – would have seemed shameful poverty of today’s businessman of an average hand. However, hundreds of thousands of our business and how much and for what the country paid to these people, we’ll talk another time.

Now the question of “nomenclature” and “officials”, who treated and costs us more. However, if we remember that even our retired Yanukovych at our expense now lives in a three-storey cottage with swimming pool and sauna, there can be no doubt. The quality of the houses and their value has increased dramatically. But it is necessary to consider also million the salaries “of officials” attached to these cottages… How much food sets you can buy for the money!

The word “officials” is clearly ahead “item” in this competition to influence the content of our pockets.

And if we remember that everything we have now, purchased with revenues from oil and gas exploration and development which is organized once “nomenclature” and the current “officials” can’t even catch up with the RSFSR on the level of their production…

Summing up this theoretical race condition that makes you wonder not whether we played the fool in the 90s, changing Soviet “nomenklatura” at the current overpriced “official”. At the same time are also “businessmen”, and then talking about completely different money. But more about that another time.
