Warum Politiker und Medien dabei sind, unsere Gesellschaft zu zerstören

Die Russen kennen eben keine halben Sachen!
# Russia halts trading after benchmark RTS falls 17% and dollar denominated RTS fell 12% as margin calls on local investors and redemption led to panicked selling (FT)
# RTS and rouble-denominated MICEX have lost well over 50% so far this year as inflation (exacerbated by a weaker rouble, slower economic growth, perception of heightened political risk including the conflict with Georgia) and falling oil prices led to major outflows. Russian stocks are now the cheapest in emerging markets
# Government attempts to put a floor in market declines have failed. Medvedev suggested using state funds to prop up equity market. Russian companies-Norilsk Nickel,Lukoil,etc were attempting to amass funds for buybacks in order to drive up prices(via Bloomberg)
# Russia's selloff is exacerbated by outflows from other emerging markets. Russian market vulnerable to sharp corrections given short-term focus of most investors (Uralsib) Few mutual funds, pension funds. foreign investors hold about half the free float (Bond)
# Bond: Although the market is cheap (7.5x forward earnings) and the domestic story is resilient, it will need a pretty significant catalyst (a rising oil price or a major package of oil tax reforms) to counter global risk aversion and investor shock- but the rising cost of money may create attractive bargains, among the domestic plays
# Alfa:In the week to August 27, Russia-dedicated funds saw $67m in withdrawals, the ninth straight week of outflows, though about 20% lower than the week conflict began with Georgia. Russia’s YTD equity capital inflow total has fallen nearly 23% to less than $2 bln, or back to the level of mid-May. Net outflows were seen from the BRICs (-$79 mln) and GEM (-$362 mln) and India and Brazil also posted outflows, albeit less than Russia
# Prime Minister Putin’s harsh public criticism of Mechel underscored Russia’s equity risk premium, which was exacerbated by Russia's involvement in Georgia
# high state take of excess oil/gas revenues discourages energy sector investment

Ergänzung
irgendwie kommt mir der Spruch "besser ein Ende mit Schrecken als ein Schrecken ohne Ende" in den Sinn. Von daher soll man sich an das was stürtzen will nicht krampfhaft festklammern.
Genaugenommen müssten die Tipps von Sarrazin, wie man mit ganz wenig, trotzdem ein "gutes" Leben führen kann, überall dort greifen, wo die Angst vor Abstieg besonders groß ist, also bei den Besitzenden.
Aber es ist fraglich ob sie dieser Logik folgen können, wenn ich sage, dass der Hohn und Spott dieser Äusserungen ein Boumerang ist, der auf einen selbst zurück fällt, weil er den eigenen öffentlich aktzeptierten Handlungsspielraum definiert.
Quasi die Grenze bei allem dem was darüber ist nur von Anspruchsdenken gesprochen werden kann, und höchstens als ungerechtfertigtes Gejammer abgetan wird.

Financial crisis: Moscow supermarket shelves increasingly empty in Soviet era reminder
Russian shoppers have been served an uncomfortable reminder of the Soviet era after finding shelves in some Moscow supermarkets empty, a further sign that the woes of the financial markets have begun to affect the mainstream economy.

For a generation of Russians who queued daily in the snow for the most basic of staples, the symbolism of a bare supermarket shelf is so powerful that it could potentially destroy the reputation of Vladimir Putin, the prime minister, as saviour of the world's largest country.
The shortages are not yet widespread. Even so, goods have begun to vanish from dozens of Moscow supermarkets over the past fortnight.
At a branch of the supermarket chain Samokhval in southwestern Moscow, a handful of shoppers pushed their trolleys through empty rows of shelves that once groaned under the weight of imported wares.
The deep freezes hummed, although there was nothing to freeze. Only a row of baked beans, a few jars of olives and sealed cupboards filled with vodka and cheap wine interrupted the void.
Unlike in the dying days of the Soviet Union, when the madcap policies of a bankrupt ideology inflicted deprivation across the country, today's shortages are very much rooted in modern Russia's enthusiastic embrace of capitalism.
Samokhval, which has 60 outlets across the capital, is the victim of a credit crunch whose tentacles have spread to virtually all sectors of the Russian economy. With trust a commodity in short supply, distributors have been unwilling to refinance the chain's debts and have stopped supplying.
Similar problems have affected Mosmart, which has 58 outlets and is also suffering from empty shelves.
The breadlines are unlikely to reform any time soon -- most supermarkets seem to be operating almost as normal -- yet such shortages seem extraordinary in a city that revels in its reputation as the world's most expensive.
A consumer boom, built on runaway oil prices, has turned Russians into some of the world's most aggressive spenders.
Yet the global financial crisis and investor jitters over Russia's increasingly aggressive foreign policy and its propensity to intervene in the private sector at the whim of the Kremlin have led to share prices tumbling.
The Moscow stock exchange's main indices lost over nine percent yesterday, and have fallen over two-thirds since touching all-time highs in May.
So rapidly have events moved that many Russians are almost unaware of the meltdown. A government-ordered news blackout of the market's woes has helped perpetuate the ignorance, convincing many that it was only the West that was affected. Tabloids have run stories claiming that Britons are so short of cash they can no longer bury their dead.
Despite the shortages, shoppers at Samokhval seemed either unconcerned or fatalistic.
"Life gets better, it gets worse," said Yevgenia Krasovskaya, a doctor. "Difficult times are followed by good times. Even if there is a little less now, what difference does it make so long as the basics are there? We've been through much worse than in the past." But Samokhval's checkout girls were more pessimistic.
"We're worried," said Svetlana, who would not give her surname as her supervisor was lurking nearby. "The management tells us everything will be ok, but I don't believe it."
