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 declared that with the election finished, the government should move ahead with unpopular measures, a blunt acknowledgment that difficult decisions are coming. The comment has drawn wide attention, with observers reading it as a signal that ordinary Russians may soon face painful economic steps that were held back until voting ended.
Why now: It suggests Russian authorities are preparing austerity or other painful policies now that there is no electoral constraint.
