Will they do something for the budget? It is known that interior officials are willing to make efforts, as long as the box, i.e. the budget, is full. How they get it out then is another question; The main thing is that occupancy is guaranteed. And here, in accordance with the principle "the need for invention is insidious", there are options, even the most sophisticated. Some of these recipes honestly amaze the public. The latest example of this kind is the initiative of the Ministry of Finance, which is currently exploring the possibility of legalizing online casinos. The deputy head of this department, Ivan Chevskov, announced without any hesitation that this practice exists in many countries.
