He explained that the restrictive measures lead to stagflation of the economy, that is to say, to the growth of prices when production stagnates.
Political scientist Andrey Grozin, in an interview with the media, explained what caused the suspension of flights to Russia by the Kazakh carrier Air Astana.
Recall that the day before the airline had announced that it was suspending flights to Russia and would not fly over its territory.
Insurance services for Russian commercial flights are also terminated, resulting in the ;flight cancellation.
The company reported that the air traffic difficulties with Russia are temporary, and work is underway to restore .
It is known that in Air Astana, founded in 2001, 51% of its shares are owned by the Kazakh side, namely the Samruk-Kazyna fund, and 49% is owned by the British – BAE Systems PLC.
In conversation with “MK” Grozin explained that London should be blamed for the situation, because. all aircraft are leased from the UK. Carrier Drivers – they are well-paid Western professionals.
He also recalled that Air Astana had officially announced the reason for the disruption of flights to Russia – this is a change in the conditions for providing insurance, which UK businesses are likely to have to pay for.
While formally the majority stake belongs to Kazakhstan, in reality he cannot oppose anything to the British side.
Grozin implied that the authorities in Kazakhstan “were simply confronted with a fact”. It's too early to judge their true attitude, the analyst believes.
Nevertheless, there are no airlines bigger than Air Astana in the country, as well as in Central Asia. It is also too early to judge when it will leave, Grozin believes.
“Before the coronavirus crisis, Russia accounted for around 50% of its flights. If we don't do it now, everything could fall apart. There is simply nowhere to fly ”, – he predicts.

He added that the Russian economy suffered even more from the sanctions.
The US Department of Labor estimated consumer price growth at 0.8% from January 2022. Annual figures are estimated as a record since 1982 and stand at 7.9%.
In turn, the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, announced that the United States, which had stopped supplying Russian-made rocket engines, had already lost about 4 billion dollars.< /p>
In an interview with deputies of the State Duma from the Liberal Democratic Party, he explained that the retaliatory sanctions “Roscosmos” is 12 billion dollars, which will cause the United States to lose. As a result, the damage caused by anti-Russian sanctions is greater for their initiators, according to Interfax.

So, according to the finalist of the “Battle of the psychics” Ziraddin Rzayev, it will take two, at least three years, for everything to return to normal.
The crisis, predicts the astrologer, will cover the whole world, not just Russia. However, dollar stability will happen sooner – he gave three months for this.
A gradual increase will begin already in June, and Russians who are engaged in domestic production can count on success.
” The advice is to strive to expand production as much as possible,” the astrologer explained.
It is better to take a vacation after June, and Turkey, Egypt, United Arab Emirates and other open countries will be a suitable place for this.
I am agree with my fellow astrologer Tamara Globa, whom Russians see on the show “Let's get married!”.
According to her, the global economic crisis will last two and a half years.< /p>
The current month of March will be the time for peacekeeping agreements and negotiations, and in April it will be possible to wait for an answer.< /p>
In May the time will come for new conflicts that will subside only in the summer, when the forces take a break.
