In observation groups in various organizations and worked in almost all countries of the shanghai cooperation organization.

In a friendly atmosphere with a positive attitude with observers of the Interparliamentary Assembly states, participants of the commonwealth. From the citys polling stations, noted that already in the first hours there was a lot of voter activity at the polling stations. The chairman of the state Duma Committee on health protection, a famous oncologist, badma bashankaev, voted in his homeland. The deputy arrived in his native village of avata in kalmyki. And now kaliningrad. The first day of the russian president ial elections has ended in the westernmost region of our country. Five voting points were opened on the borders of the kaliningrad region with poland and lithuania, so that russians living abroad can vote there. Now alexey ankudinov is speaking directly from our studio from kaliningrad. Alexey, greetings, how was your first day of voting, was everything calm and normal . Good evening, everything went calmly, as usual, right now at the polling station where i am, they are opening the ballot box, putting the ballots into a special safe bag, you can say, yes, the polling stations have closed and the first day is over. In total, we worked with 563 sites in the kaliningrad region, thats 5,500 employees. Election commissions, according to the data at 18 00 the turnout was almost 25 , by lunchtime it had already exceeded 10 , as we know, this is a fairly high result, i think that the number of voters will increase, of course in the remaining days, well, i i would like to dwell on the peculiarities of our region, kaliningrad is a maritime region, there are many fishermen and sailors who are at sea, so they voted early, now i propose to listen to the commentary of the chairman of the Election Commission of the kaliningrad region. The peculiarity of our region is formation of polling stations on ships, ships that are sailing, this year is no exception, 12 such ship precinct commissions worked, our voters of the kaliningrad region have already voted there, almost 650 people, their protocols have all been transferred to the relevant commissions, they lie, they will only be hidden on sunday the seventeenth at 20 00, when our polling stations close. Well, as you noted, yes, we have opened five voting points of such mobile voting points on the border with poland and lithuania, this has been done so that our compatriots living abroad can come and cast their vote, as we know, there is enormous pressure on the electoral process in europe, we have even heard some kind of threats from western politicians, people are threatened with document checks such as. Their residence permits will be checked on all counts; those who come to the polling stations at the embassies can only vote at the embassies, since the Representative Office and the consulate are closed, which is not entirely convenient for those who do not live in the capital. All my parents, all my brothers, everyone lives in siberia, we communicate very friendly, maybe in the future im also going to move, i served in kaliningrad on the esminets persistent at one time, this is my second city, kaliningrad, so to speak, my home after novosibirsk , and it so happened that i left young, after some time, after a couple of years i began to come here again, thats all for me , i think that i will move here to kaliningrad, most of them have already voted, so everything is in normal mode, colleagues, yes alexey, thank you very much, let me remind you that alexey ankudinov spoke about voting in the kaliningrad region. Financial markets this week were excited by the growth rates of the Digital Asset bitcoin and good old gold, and about these assets, these assets showed historical highs in value in us dollars. Why gold is growing is a separate conversation, well talk about it next time. Well, the popularity of bitcoin reflects the interest of the Exchange Public in the Digital Financial asset. How is this area of finance developing in russia and is it necessary to develop it at all . About this how lets talk once again with the chairman of the state Duma Committee on the financial market, anatoly aksakov. Anatoly gennadievich, hello, thank you for taking the time , as i understand it, you just arrived from a business trip, here from the ship to the ball live on the air, this is not very easy to do, nevertheless an important topic, it is clear that the growth of bitcoin is historical at most, this is an occasion to talk about things that are much more serious, and these are financial areas in general, Digital Assets, the socalled. I would like to say it again, you and i have often discussed this topic before, then somehow it was forgotten , it seems, and nevertheless, as i understand it, we are developing this direction in russia, and you were also the initiator of development, but there are nuances, as they say, now at the moment we need to develop this topic , ill ask you right away, or are we doing it this way because we have adopted a law on. This means that our companies will be able to implement the banking system, and, accordingly, sanctions pressure that is carried out against our country can be will, well, lets say, experience less on ourselves, since to a large extent western countries, primarily the united states, exert such pressure through banks, and since Digital Financial assets move outside the banking system, we expect that they will allow. Us to more actively develop International Cooperation using this tool. Anatoli genadovich, and yet our western underpartners, former ones, they often make statements that they will monitor these transactions on International Digital exchanges so that we do not bypass thus, sanctions, and they are preparing to introduce some kind of sanctions for assets that belong to our individuals on these exchanges. I asked at the end of last year to take the money culturally, that is , they didnt just freeze it, as was usually done before, but sent it, asked to take this money and assets from their accounts and transfer them to some other sites, so we are somehow ready to such actions, we can say here that activities in these markets bypassing sanctions can really bring us benefits. Cant interfere well, since we have adopted a law on the use of Digital Financial assets, well, lets say, within the framework of russian legislation, foreign partners who want to work with russia, they will simply use this platform or this system in order to supply goods to our country and receive for this the corresponding digital currency. Or buy goods from us and pay with the same digital ruble, Digital Financial assets, there may be different assets, well, backed, for example, by gold, backed by gas, secured by some other goods, it is already a matter of agreement between buyers and sellers what asset they are interested in providing Digital Tools that will be used in this turnover, we provide an opportunity, from our point of view this opportunity will be in demand, the law was only recently adopted obviously we need to wait for the results of its implementation, from my point of view, the process will develop, and many interested people, including foreign ones in our country, are contacting me according to. This law, which came into effect on march 11, how well developed do you think this law is, or does it require some clarification later, instructions, as usual, that is, the tax authorities are aware that such a law has been adopted, i ill ask so rudely, well, its obvious that the tax authorities, and the ministry of finance, under which the tax. Authorities are located, are aware of the adopted law, now we have a bill in the state duma , which has already been adopted in the first reading, and we expect that it will be in the second and soon the third reading adopted just the regulatory issues related to the taxation of transactions with Digital Financial assets, so i think that there will be no problems, if questions arise, this is possible, since the new instrument, then. Obviously, we will quickly respond to the situation and change the legislation so to remove risks. As i understand it, our entrepreneurs still need to wait for the adoption of this law and do not act at their own peril and risk, i understand the situation correctly, for now they should slow down their activities in this regard issue, i think that i not only think, i know that entrepreneurs are already actively mastering these tools and. I think that there is no need to wait for the tax authorities decision, especially since these tax laws will be adopted in the near future, they were actively discussed with business community, i assure you that this is done responsibly, so now is the time when we need to work quickly, uh, so we need to get involved in the work and test what we have already adopted in real practice, and in this work. I will say, not only and business, but also we , as the state duma, because it is important for us to watch how legal regulatory authorities are implemented, i believe that this area of international interaction using Digital Financial assets will develop very actively, in fact, even we are talking about the reaction to sanctions, but this is a prospect. They are arguing, well, we are not talking about that now, they can be used according to this law, or only some stable coins, conditional ones there, esdt, something else, well, experts know what we are talking about. Is there any understanding here of how this will work . That means according to this law can only be applied by those instruments that are issued in accordance with russian legislation. Now we are preparing a legislative decision on experimental regimes for the use of Digital Assets, such as cryptocurrencies. Here is usdt , as you say, that is, those instruments that , well, are also issued on foreign information systems, and so, i think that already in the spring session we will adopt a law on experimental legal regimes for such instruments, their you can too will be used in order to, well. Clarification on your part, because otherwise people will get lost, because everyone has heard of Digital Financial assets, bitcoin, ether, there are some others, there are a lot of them , these altcoins and so on, but but even the most common ones there are several dozen, but nevertheless in the future, if we talk a little about the real future, we will be further inside. Countries still need to develop this, would you say this is the future . However, there are still questions about the activities of the central bank, the socalled cbd, then there are a lot of questions, here from the point of view of the adoption of legislation, you are on the side , as i understand it, of the active development of this direction, i am on the side, yes, i am on the side of active development, moreover, i was a supporter of making cryptocurrencies faster legitimize for use as. Development is progressing quickly in this direction, and by the way, we are also conducting negotiations within the members of the brix countries, and we expect that this toolkit will be actively developed there, well, this is the law that im talking about i said at the beginning, in my opinion he creates a good legal basis for launching International Payments with our partners using Digital Financial assets. Anatoly gennadievich , thank you very much, we will follow this direction, of course, and we would like it if we were more active in this, so it will probably be easier for all of us to work in international markets, thank you very much, i will remind you that we talked with the chairman state Duma Committee on Financial Markets anatoly aksakov.
