Colorful among the elites? Co-founder of Kaspersky Lab sharply criticizes the Russian authorities

Natalia Kaspierska criticized proposed tax increases targeting small businesses in Russia, arguing they would harm the economy and social cohesion. She suggested that larger corporations, particularly state banks, should contribute more to the budget instead. Kaspierska highlighted the negative impact of these tax policies on small enterprises, which are vital for employment and community stability. She also pointed out that the proposals from the business organization Diełowaja Rossija seem to align with government intentions, raising concerns about their legitimacy and the potential burden on the poorest citizens.
