“Sanctions do not promise” – “it Skripal” in a distorted public information space

It’s been over a month since the poisoning Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury and in the eyes of the layman, in the information space of Russia and the United Kingdom, the relations between our countries look terrible. This month was not, perhaps, a day to inform agencies of both countries have not published any recriminations. The tabloids are full of scandalous headlines, the diplomats exchanged stinging blows. It seems that the relations between our countries is so damaged that it will not recover ever. The Russians, being under the influence of hysterical talk shows with screens and irons surprised to ask each other the question: “how long “English” will spoil?”. It seems that in the United Kingdom heard Russophobic statements.

Meanwhile, only an estimated 300 thousand Russian-speaking people from former CIS countries residing in the UK, someone in the UK children, someone who has business connections with London and many have property not only in London but in other UK cities.

All of these people mentally or aloud ask the question: “What will happen now? To what extent will reach the confrontation between the two countries? How it can affect us, our children, our investments, our real estate?

Maybe to drop everything and move to another country? Or hurry to sell their property?”

To sell now just not the time. And fall into pessimism also makes no sense.

To judge objectively how terrible the situation, it is hard for the reason that we exist in a distorted space – both in public and informational, and political.

I tried to decompose “on the shelves” the problem”

Now it is obvious that the politicization of mutual interest – like the UK, with the precariousness of political positions Theresa may, and Russia, in connection with the General “anti-Western” rhetoric in the domestic media space. First, it is necessary to divide “market, fiscal relations and political relations”. Sometimes they intertwined, sometimes one affect the other and Vice versa, but rather “market” relations are independent and have only one aim – a win-win for the parties cooperation.

Trade and business relations between Russia and Britain are gaining momentum. For 2017, the trade turnover between our countries amounted to £12 billion increased by 20%. Moreover, the countries plan to double turnover in the next 5 years. It is unlikely that the UK will refuse mutually beneficial trade partnership with Russia in the face of difficult relations with the European Union.

The authorities in London before the case Skrobala said they would fight the “corrupt capital” of Russia. First and foremost, they are interested in, of course, illegally withdrawn billions of large oligarchs who entered the U.S. “sanctions list”. It declared.

But, even in this circle of people is quite hard to take away property that they own. Property laws of Anglo-Saxon law evolved over the centuries. The assets and property of the people in the UK are protected by law as well as the assets and property of the British themselves, because the law is the same for all. No accident to date, we haven’t heard of any cases of weaning Palace or house in London at our well-known oligarchs.

The question of “purity of the origin of money” was always relevant. British “solicitors” always thoroughly check the origin of the capital in the process of purchase and sale of property and, if monies paid for the purchase of an object will be recognized as criminal “in hindsight”, it means the lack of professionalism among lawyers, to oversee the deal. It is unlikely that the UK will donate an impeccable reputation as the “world of arbitration” in litigation. The very idea of “politicization” of the High Court of London is absurd. Not by chance the largest financial disputes in the world solve High court in London, which is famous for its impartiality and fairness.

However, in connection with the political relations between London and Moscow, the prices of the London property market may drop slightly on the unfavorable news, and this is a good time to buy.

Secondly, you should keep a cool head and calm. Extensive contacts between Russia and Britain is not limited to commercial, legal and financial. Cultural and scientific relations did not stop for a minute. We exchange concerts, exhibitions, our artists, Directors, artists in demand in London. Performances with Russian actors, dancers gather crowds, Russian scientists successfully doing science in the universities of the United Kingdom.

The British people are exclusively bred and educated. They are, in the vast majority understand that Russian citizens are “hostages” of the ruling class in Russia and can’t answer all the charges that the world presents to the Russian leadership.

And thirdly, the British authorities themselves in the face of Theresa may and Boris Johnson is not just clearly stated that they do not want to jeopardize the ordinary citizens of the Russian Federation. However, these words will not show in the “our TV” .

The level of “voltage” is much higher in the media information. If the TV is thrown out, and feeling the tension fall on the order.
