Kasianov's matter not only failed to subside in the following days, but instead escalated into a fervor.
During an exclusive interview with journalists, Kasianov made a statement that sparked considerable controversy.
He said, "Russia is on the wrong path!"
As for why he said that, he also had an explanation.
"Although the economy seemed to develop not too badly during my years in office, and the country's finance became healthier, with international debt issues being resolved, it looks like everything is getting better.
But actually, I think the real situation is not as optimistic as everyone sees it.
Based on the data, it can be analyzed that the country's finance revenue has become more dependent on the energy industry!
Just the tax revenue from the energy industry alone accounted for nearly forty percent of the country's total finance revenue last year!
This is a terrifying proportion.
