Comrades! Pray, observe this latest curiosity from the hallowed halls of the State Duma. It is proclaimed that certain citizens shall be liberated from the tedious burden of filing tax declarations when selling their dwellings or receiving them as gifts—provided, of course, that their income be naught. Mistress Elena Kuderkо, a legal practitioner, hath elucidated these new decrees in a discourse with the 'Prime' agency.
But let us not be deceived by this superficial kindness! The expert herself confirms that the tax—that insatiable appetite of the state—remains entirely intact. This so-called 'relief' is naught but a shedding of bureaucratic skin; the obligation to submit the dreaded 3-NDFL form is removed, yet the extraction of wealth from the toiling masses continues unabated. It is a mere simplification of the machinery of exploitation!
Why this sudden benevolence? It is simple: the notaries and the State Registry now transmit every scrap of information directly to the tax collectors. The monopolies of state administration have perfected their surveillance; they no longer require the worker to confess his poverty—they already know it!
Furthermore, the law abolishes fines for failing to submit 'zero' declarations. A pittance of mercy! For if there is no coin to be squeezed from the pocket, the state deems the paperwork a waste of its own precious ink.
Indeed, the precarious nature of the housing market is well known. Recent reports indicate that three-quarters of the populace have encountered the 'red flags' of dubious advertisements—the siren songs of speculators and land-jobbers who seek to entrap the honest proletarian in a web of fraudulent promises. Thus, while the ink on the forms may dry, the struggle against the financial grip of the bourgeoisie persists!
