Title:  The political and economic results of august 2015
Abstract:  In August 2015, oil prices continued to slide, and the RF Ministry of Economic Development cut Russia’s economic outlook for 2015. JSC Russian Railways head Vladimir Yakunin handed in his resignation; best seen in conjunction with recent developments in Russia’s big state-owned companies, this event indicated that the RF government had embarked upon a course of cutting the expenditures of such companies. The RF Ministry of Agriculture announced a number of rather alarming restrictive initiatives (fortunately left dormant at least for the time being).
