The story about the construction of a circus in Moscow for 66 billion rubles is usually very broad. It seems to me that you can come up with an article about extremism for headlines like:
"The circus in Moscow costs us too much", "Moscow will be the most expensive circus in the country", "Will the state be able to support the Moscow circus during the SVO? ".
Well, jokes aside, look. The SVO is coming soon, like 5 years. We can probably postpone the construction. Somehow we managed all these years without the circus.
The medium writes that instead of a circus, two frigates can be built from the far sea area:
These are ~ two frigates.
Since 2006, the Navy has received only three Project 22,350 frigates. Those with hypersound, which are the basis of the fleet of the Far Sea region.
But here, the question is not only about money. Before the Northern Military District there was a lot of money, but the fleet of the Far Sea Region somehow did not work well. And the "fill everything with money" technique doesn't always work the same way.
Another interesting comparison:
Budgetary revenues of the Vologda region for 2027 are expected to increase by 141.4 billion rubles, expenses - 137.6 billion rubles.
In the Arkhangelsk region the data are similar - 155.1 billion ₽ revenues and 158.5 billion ₽ expenses.
Almost half of the annual expenses of the Russian region of millions could be covered by a Moscow circus.
Two Russians.
Also, 66 billion is equivalent to payments for an increase from 44,000 to 26,000 people drawn to the contract.
