Russian paper urges unpopular measures now election is over
Original: Russian paper: “The election’s over. It’s time for unpopular measures.”
A Russian newspaper has published a blunt editorial declaring that with the presidential election concluded, the government can now move ahead with unpopular measures, widely read as a warning of tax rises, spending cuts or further economic strain on households. The remark, highlighted by the BBC's Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg, has drawn wide attention as commentators debate what austerity-style steps the Kremlin may take next and how ordinary Russians will absorb them.
Why now: Attention is focused on what painful economic decisions the Russian government may announce now that the election no longer constrains it.
