Protectionism In its proposals on ways out of economic crisis, global politics, everything seems to condemn protectionism, but in fact their governments act exactly the opposite. Protectionism - it's non-market methods protect domestic producers from international competition. Now almost all the states are bankrupt protect their industries, increase in customs duty to protect national markets to the detriment of the common cause of the crisis, delaying it for an indefinite period. WTO predicts that by 2009 as a result of expected 9-percent drop in world trade. The most characteristic example of protectionism - it Russian auto industry. The Russian president travels to London for a summit of G20, which condemns the world protectionism, but the Russian government before it lifts duties on foreign cars. Moreover, the Prime Minister during Summit highlights of the 24 billion rubles for the production of cars of the past century. These funds could be organized in a modern production with demand products. And so, like most of the funds will go to "wind," working capital for the production of obsolete vehicles in the factory, which must be reoriented (and retrained staff) are still the 1990s. But with high tribunes hear appeals using the crisis to increase domestic demand. Excuse me, than to increase domestic demand, rarity "Lada"? In addition, the recent increase in customs duties on imported cars instead of expected increase in demand for Russian cars has led to higher prices for "Lada" and "Lada". It turns out that artificially increasing the competitiveness of domestic production does not mean that it will be cheaper for the consumer and they will be in demand. Now would all the money to throw to build the infrastructure for a modern economy, so no, we are saving the "town-forming" enterprises, but in fact hide a "head in the sand"...

We realized that the Germans - not people. Henceforth, the word "German" for us the most terrible curse ... We will not speak. Do not be angry. We will kill ... If you can not kill a German, a German will kill you. He will take yours and will torment in his accursed Germany ... If you kill one German, kill another ... "Despite the growing bitterness of the fighting, a while the situation continued to deteriorate. Without fighting, without an order in July 1942 was put Rostov. The next day, July 30, sounded the famous order: "Not one step back!". And although the whole of July and part of August, Soviet troops continued to retreat every day of their resistance was growing stronger. From 3 August, the Germans reached the approaches to Stalingrad and been very slow and bloody battles, advancing to the Volga. August 1943-th - the culmination of this struggle.
