Moscow Eurasian Club: "The transfer of the capital from Moscow to Siberia will open a new period of Russian history - Siberian"

AUGUST 26, 2022

At a recent meeting of the Moscow Eurasian Club, famous economist and writer Yuri Krupnov, chairman of the supervisory board of the Institute of Demography, Migration and Regional Development, suggested moving the Russian capital from Moscow to Siberia. Business online reports about it.

The meeting itself, organized by the New Eurasia movement and the Lev Gumilyov Center, was held on August 24 at the National Hotel and was devoted to the topic of the Russian-Iranian alliance.

According to Krupnov, the peak of Russia's national sovereignty each time was achieved through the creation of a new capital in underdeveloped macro-regions and the transfer of the country's political center there. “In the past, such a role was played by Ladoga, Kyiv, Vladimir (Vladimir-Suzdal Rus), Moscow, St. Petersburg, then Moscow again,” the economist explained in a conversation with BUSINESS Online. “And simultaneously with the organization of a new center of state development, a radical renewal of the country and a positive reformatting of political elites took place.” According to Krupnov, one of the candidates for the title of the new Russian capital may be Omsk, but not in its current capacity, but as "a new ultra-modern city, around which a multi-infrastructure transport and logistics hub will be deployed." According to the expert,

By the way, the Iranian entrepreneurs who took part in the meeting of the club complained about the lack of infrastructure or its poor quality. In particular, the director of an export-import company in the IT field, Sohrab Ghairat, said that this greatly impedes the development of business ties between Iran and Russia. “Also, a convenient system of mutual settlements between representatives of the business community has not yet been created,” Gairat believes. “This is because we do not have joint banks through which money transactions could be carried out.”

It should be noted that the meeting within the framework of the Moscow Eurasian Club, in addition to the already mentioned persons, was attended by the Ambassador of Azerbaijan to the Russian Federation Polad Bulbul oglu, the Ambassador of Iran Kazem Jalali, the Ambassador of India Pawan Kapoor, the director of the export-import company "Paksan" (Iran) Eurasian Center. Lev Gumilyov Pavel Zarifullin, Russian writer German Sadullayev, writer, director of the National Best Literary Prize Vadim Leventhal and other experts, politicians, public figures and representatives of business circles from Russia, Iran, Abkhazia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan.
