Recently Mr. Shirokov proclaimed that under the current state of economic development in Russia, 60% of Russian citizens ought to live in rental property, instead of owning it.
He suggested raising fees for apartment maintenance to 30-35k Rubles (monthly), and if the owner can't pay - move the apartment to a specially created "municipal fund". Since obviously if a person can't pay, they can't take care of it, right? It also means the person can be ousted from aforementioned apartment.
Paging whoever claimed Russian capitalism is different, that it's subservient to the state and all that.
It's a shame that he can spout such liberal nonsense without consequences.
Soviet authorities, even revisionists, would've relieved him of his position immediately.
