Помимо зажигательной 40-минутной речи о новом вооружении, в послании Путина была и куда более скромная экономическая часть. Конечно, на фоне роскошной перспективы моментально превратить весь мир в труху, всяческие планы по социально экономическому развитию России выглядят скучновато. Маргарита Лютова подсчитала, сколько будет стоить новый срок Владимира Путина, исходя из его обещаний.
