Politico has tested the new lows publicly comparing Russian Central Bank governor Elvira Nabiullina to convicted nazi war criminals.
Quote (https://www.politico.eu/list/politico-28-class-of-2024/elvira-nabiullina/)
As the West has tried to cut Russia out of the world’s financial markets and choke off its access to the cash and tech it needs for its brutal invasion, Nabiullina has managed to parry, opening the spending taps and steadying the economy. For now, those tactics are working: The IMF recently predicted Russia’s economy will grow by 2.2 percent this year; in February, the forecast was a much more modest 0.7 percent. Those sorts of results have seen critics compare Nabiullina to Albert Speer, Adolf Hitler’s minister of armaments and war production, and Adolf Eichmann, who perfected the railway system that transported Jews to their deaths.
I find it amusing to see Politico admit publicly the impotence of supposedly omnipotent western financial sanctions, being bested in a fair fight by a Muslim
Woman at the head of Russian Central Bank.
A reminder that Elvira has been named by Central Bank Governor of the Year by Euromoney and "Central Banker of the Year, Europe" by the British magazine The Banker.
