The time has come for another financier who dresses up in the toga of a patriot, although there is nowhere to put marks on his biography and modern connections. This is Valentin Katasonov.

In fact, the biography of Valentinin Yuryevich speaks for itself

European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, The World Bank, Central Bank of Russia....

For those who are a little out of the loop, what is the EBRD:

In connection with the beginning of economic transformations in the post-Soviet space in the 1990s. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) was established. Its goal is to promote market reforms in the countries of Central and of Eastern Europe. Its founders are all European countries (except Albania), the USA, Canada, Japan, other states (40 in total) and two international organizations (the EU and the European Investment Bank). Members of the EBRD can be not only European states, but any other countries are members of the IMF.

Washington. IMF. All the same “faces”. And on them is Valentin Yurievich, who is very worried about monetary policy our state, and worked for three years. Then five years of work for the World Bank, which, to put it bluntly, also has nowhere to put a stamp:

Condition of membership in World Bank is membership in the International Monetary Fund, that is, each member country of the IBRD must first become a member of the International currency board. Only those countries that are members of the IBRD can be members of other organizations within the World Bank Group.

USA - 16.39%

Japan - 7.86%

Germany - 4.49%

France - 4.30%

UK - 4.30%

China - 2.78%

India - 2.78%

Italy - 2.78%

Canada - 2.78%

Russia - 2.78%

Saudi Arabia - 2.78%

Netherlands - 2.21%

Brazil - 2.07%

Belgium - 1.81%

Spain - 1.75%

Switzerland - 1.66%

Australia - 1.53%

Iran - 1.48%

Venezuela - 1.27%

Mexico - 1.18%

Argentina - 1.12%

The remaining 164 countries - 29.90%

I think that the requirement for mandatory participation in the IMF to enter the capital of the World Bank, together with the distribution of votes of countries in the World Bank, speaks louder than a thousand words about in whose interests this organization works.

And after such an “internship,” Valentin Katasonov becomes an economic adviser to the Central Bank of Russia. I honestly admit that for me the title of this position is almost consonant with “supervisor”. By the way, it has not been possible to find this position in the central office of the Central Bank of Russia at the moment. An interesting nuance. Especially if we remember the fact that the Central Bank of Russia was one of those who took part in the deepening of the crisis of 2008-2009.

Among other interesting nuances concerning Valentin Yuryevich, it would be interesting to note his opinion about Evgeny Fedorov and Nikolai Starikov, which he expressed in August 2014. And Katasonov’s attitude towards Putin can be seen quite well in the statements of Valentin Yuryevich:

He walked through them dashingly, didn’t he? But less than a year has passed since Valentin Yuryevich took a different position and speaks together with Evgeniy Alekseevich:

What can I say: a person’s integrity is immediately obvious.

Well, for those who consider Valentin Katasonov an excellent economist and financier, I suggest listening to his accusations against the President that he almost gave direct instructions to speculators to attack the ruble (around the 4th minute):

Valentin Yuryevich's forecast for the dollar exchange rate in January-February 2015 is “for a hundred rubles” - no comment.

AND amazingly, Valentin Katasonov, like many of the current promoted different ways"patriots", surprisingly saw the light after leaving important posts and starting in 2011

Publisher's abstract: The book explores economic works Sergei Fedorovich Sharapov (1855-1911), which incorporated many of the main ideas of the Slavophiles. Sharapov shrewdly foresaw the catastrophic consequences of the country's capitalist development in late XIX- the beginning of the 20th century, proposed alternative models of economic development, placing special emphasis on the need to restructure the Russian monetary system. He constantly emphasized that the economic revival of Russia is possible only on the foundation of Orthodoxy, strong church life, relying on the parish as the primary unit of society, which, in addition to everything, has a number of economic functions. In the alternative model of the economy and monetary system proposed by Sharapov, the key elements were absolute (paper) money, imaginary capital, reserve capital, state banks, state monopolies in a number of sectors of the economy, the state-regulated exchange rate of the ruble, etc.
The author notes that formed in Soviet period In our history, the monetary system had a number of elements that were contained in Sharapov’s model.
The current state of the Russian economy is very reminiscent of the situation that was a century ago, so many of the thoughts of Russian Slavophile economists remain relevant to this day.
