Statement by G.A. Zyuganov, the Chairman of the CPRF Central Committee: Incompetence of the power burns Russia
2010 has not yet completed. But it has already entered the history of

Huge forest areas burned out. Enormous environmental damage was caused. The agriculture suffered the heaviest blow, which was already lying on its side. Hundreds of thousands of peasants will never see the harvest this year. Rising of prices for staple foods is inevitable.
The size of the disaster is obvious. It has affected tens of millions of people. And although in recent years
The trouble, in which citizens found themselves, got home across the country. Contributions are being taken for the victims. And the Communist Party of the
Alas, but happened what always happens when the government acts "at random", when it is not fulfilling its direct functions, does not listen to the voice of the people. The thing happened, against which we, the Communists, so insistently were trying to protect the country. All those, who influence key decisions in the state, we warned about the increasing threats. Five years ago, our Party in the State Duma issued special report "Critical limits of decline", prepared by the best scientists. In 2006-2007, the CPRF waged constant struggle against the new, devastating in its essence, Forest Code. No less serious work was done in preparation of the Water Code. The most thorough analysis of these documents was carried out at the round tables in the State Duma. Special materials were handed over to the leadership of the country.
We consistently pursued the policy of use of land, forest and water resources of
After the floods on the
Alas, we failed in bringing the power to reason. Neither convinced we the authorities to switch on "red light" in the way of oligarchy’s enrichment. The root of evil remains - it is rampant and cynical capital’s rush for profits. The ruling circles are firmly aimed to satisfy its appetites. They are continuously kicking off from the state the responsibility for major areas of activity. Gangster capitalism has destroyed almost all the collective farms, which were able to withstand droughts and fires.
The first persons succeeded in appointing “scapegoats” for each accident and disaster. At the same the integrity of key officials, realizing the most loathsome experiments on people and our country, is alleged. Kudrin (minister of finance) is "irreplaceable": he is successfully depleting the economy and social sphere, shifting the burden of expenditure on the shoulders of impoverished regions. Serdyukov (minister of defense) is "irreplaceable": it is difficult to find the best craftsman in transforming the Army into the trade shop. Fursenko (minister of education) is "irreplaceable": he's already trained enough in burying with an imperturbable air the best achievements of science and education. "Irreplaceable" is as well chief privatization master of the country, the destroyer of the world's best energy system, to whose mercy is now given the development of nanotechnology.
Senior officials are blaming the incident on the governors and their officials. The governors believe that the central government is guiltier, but it keeps "bashing" district chiefs. District chiefs believe that incompetent government policies are to blame, but do not say this out loud.
Everyone and everything are guilty: climate and nature disaster, peat fields and enthusiasts of outdoor recreation, sellers of domestic fans and citizens, who have not entrenched their houses and villages. The only ones are not to be blamed without whom the Russian state takes any decisions. Their ruling party is neither to be blamed. They are not to be blamed either legally or politically or morally.
People, who created nothing in this life, use to shift their responsibility onto others. Those, who built nothing by their own hands, commonly roll off to relentless PR. Current government’s self-advertisement is increasingly removing it from real life. Just one fact: despite all the statements of officials, the apartments promised this year are available to far from all veterans of the Great Patriotic War.
In the glare of fires in 2010 helplessness of power in specific cases was clearly visible. Millions of people faced the problem of protection of their lives, their homes, and their future. Citizens of
All that happens is a lesson, but not for the power itself. This is a lesson for the country and its citizens. The lesson of ability to assess the situation not by words or TV picture, but by deeds and abilities. The lesson of ability to fight for the rights and to build-up the power in the people's interests.
Experts warned that this summer would be hot. This was reinforced by predictions of meteorologists and the experience of practical management. Consequently, the fire disaster did not come all of a sudden and was fully expected. But no preparations of the country and the population to the emergency situation have been undertaken.
But there are things over which the authority is obliged to work without special notice. There are problems to which it must be always prepared. The minimization of the impact of natural disasters, war and political conflicts, economic boycotts, terrorism and criminality is the direct responsibility of the state. It provides special budget allocations. There is Ministry of emergencies and other services to cope with this. Especially for the activities the complex of both prevention and mobilizing measures is due to be worked out. "It is cheaper to prevent diseases than to treat them" - this principle works not only in medicine. And if the government does not understand this, it is harmful to society and should be replaced.
The priorities of the regime are increasingly turning

Domestic design school even today offers interesting developments. But the authorities have consistently ignored the possibilities of Russian aerospace industry and other branches. In the early 2000's the Ural Transport Engineering Design Bureau drafted out a fire tank. It could carry a large supply of water, pass through off-road and break deep into the forest to the fire site. Its production on the basis of utilized T-72 could cost quite cheap. But the developments remained unclaimed. Even now, after the bitter lessons of this summer, the authorities do not hurry to act efficiently. They pay no attention to domestic developers, considering instead the purchase of fire equipment abroad.
The CPRF believes that further delay in the country reconstruction on a platform of people's interests is fraught with irreversible consequences. At the same time it has becjme obvious to everyone that the current composition of the government headed by V. Putin fails to cope with the accumulated problems. The situation demands that the president of the
At the same time the CPRF insists on implementing the following priority measures:
1. Carry out immediately thorough review of the causes and effects of the 2010’s emergency at the State Council and at a special meeting of State Duma.
2. Within two months adopt a special Plan for an integrated solution of all issues of national security, protection of the country and the population from emergencies.
3. Develop new Land,
4. Call off immediately current plans for further privatization of state property. Proceed to the increase in the share of state property and improve its management.
5. Recognize the necessity of collective farms and logging enterprises development as crucial for solving aggravated problems. Develop and implement a program of the restoration of large collective farms with deep specialization in production and processing of agricultural products.
6. Restore the unified public service for forests’ protection. Carry out an ambitious program of land fertility restoring and development of derelict land. Create specialized units to carry out reclamation work.
7. Increase funding for agricultural sector from the federal budget to the level not lower than 10 per cent of its expenditure. In five years restore the material and technical base of the agriculture, its power capacity. Implement a program that allows creating normal living conditions for people in rural areas.
Implementation of the above set of measures will significantly enhance the competitiveness of
