"Your Money Belongs To The State": The Kremlin Found 'Creative Solution' to Keep Funding Putin's War - The Russian Dude

While attention is fixed on possible peace talks and diplomatic headlines, this video focuses on something far quieter and far more dangerous happening inside Russia right now. The Kremlin is rapidly piling on debt at an unprecedented pace and doing it in a way that effectively siphons money from its own population without openly admitting it. Behind the official claims of financial stability lies a growing cash crisis, masked by complex borrowing schemes, record bond issuances, and interest rates closer to consumer credit than sovereign finance. Trillions of rubles are being borrowed at around 15 percent interest, despite the existence of massive reserves that, in reality, are largely illiquid and unusable in the short term.

This breakdown explains why having money “on paper” is not the same as having cash when obligations come due, and why the Russian government is behaving like someone rolling one maxed-out loan into another. The video walks through how federal loan bonds are now used as a daily survival tool for the state, how banks are pushed into buying them, and how the Central Bank quietly feeds liquidity into the system while avoiding the label of money printing. What looks like orderly debt management is increasingly emergency behavior.

Most importantly, the consequences do not stay inside ministries or balance sheets. Inflation, rising interest rates, more expensive mortgages, car loans, and shrinking purchasing power all hit ordinary Russians first. This system functions like a pyramid, where the government and banks sit safely at the top while the population absorbs the losses at the bottom through higher prices and devalued savings. The video outlines three likely endgames for this debt spiral: quietly redirecting private savings, a domestic default, or sharp currency devaluation. Each option shifts the burden onto the public in different ways, but the outcome is always the same.

This is not a sudden collapse, but a slow-motion stress test of the Russian economy and society. The Kremlin’s strategy is to borrow, disguise, delay, and repeat, extracting as much as possible without provoking open resistance. The question is not whether someone will pay for this debt machine, but how long the system can hold before social pressure reaches a breaking point.
