“All the authorities’ promises of real decentralization remained promises,” the lawyer noted. – In “Putin’s Mordor”, the regions retain 35 percent of the money collected and earned locally, the rest goes to the center. Under Yanukovych, we had 20 percent in the localities, but under the new government – only 18 percent. And now compare where the level of decentralization is higher, in “Putin’s bloody Russia” or here.”
