“Putin made a statement that changes the entire global financial architecture and means a change in milestones in world politics and geo-economics,” Nikonov said.
Now we will see which is stronger: the real economy, which is backed by resources, goods, services, and the people who produce them, or the paper economy, which is backed by the printing press and financial derivatives, he argues.
“And Western countries will have to think about how to restore the system of payments with us, and in rubles, and where they will take these rubles,” Nikonov stated.
As REGNUM reported earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a decision to take a set of measures to transfer payments for natural gas supplied to unfriendly countries to Russian rubles as soon as possible.
