Comrades! Cast your eyes upon the latest antics of the parliamentary gentlemen! Mr. Anatoly Aksakov, the head of the financial markets committee—a man well-acquainted with the machinery of capital—has seen fit to announce that the matter of the 'family mortgage' has been postponed until the autumn.

What does this delay truly signify? It is nothing more than the typical hesitation of the ruling class, as the government and the Central Bank—the very heart of financial monopoly—squabble over the finer points of how best to manage the masses. On one hand, they wish to maintain the current rules to stimulate the purchase of property, thereby ensuring a steady flow of interest into the pockets of the usurers. On the other, they admit that the current system fails to encourage the growth of the working-class family, for the benefits vanish the moment a single child is born.

They propose 'differentiated rates' based upon the number of children. Mark my words: this is but a calculated gambit to tighten the yoke of exploitation! They treat the basic human need for shelter as a mere variable in a ledger, a tool to manipulate the birth rate of the proletariat for the convenience of the State.

Mr. Aksakov, in a display of most exquisite hypocrisy, begs us not to 'politicize' the issue. He calls for a 'cold head' and 'reason.' I ask you, comrades: is it not the height of political arrogance to decide the fate of a worker's roof in the closed chambers of a ministry?

While the Vice-Premier, Mr. Khusnullin, assures us that the rules shall remain unchanged for now, the truth remains stark. The bourgeois apparatus continues its deliberations, while the honest laborer remains trapped in the clutches of mortgage bondage, waiting for a crumb of mercy from those who profit from his toil. We shall see in the autumn whether 'reason' prevails, or if the greed of the financial capital simply finds a new mask to wear!
