THIS ISN'T RIGHT
WTF I love Russia even more now

Also. The reason they even have to do that shit is because they're trying to bail out oligarchs. If they'd let them sink, they would've sold off their companies to someone else and if history is any indication, it would've been better off that way. Excluding military complex, sanctions apply to specific persons - not to the industries. The country's economy is going down the crapper because Putin decided to double down on corruption and oligarchy.

Guaranteed to be misused by (((Russian government))). Fucking Jews.

I'm saying neither of the things, the Russian government is very corrupt and the sanctions clearly are hurting them. Why else would they need to raise taxes to bail out businesses if the sanctions weren't working.
You read the absolute opposite of what I wrote.
That has to be some kind of record.
Is cash payments not allowed in Russia? I'm not familiar with your tax system, but how do you pay a gardener or a plumber? With a paycheck?
That's overly idealistic, and your country would suffer greatly in the interim. Also it would be vulnerable to complete annihilation in a century when such things happen with the push of a button.
What if it takes the oligarchs 15 years to wise up and sell the companies? The nuclear weapons would be degraded and useless by then.

Russia literally lives off oil and natural gas, weapons and rocket engines are a tiny fraction of that, huge land with natural resources is what keeps it afloat, more or less, as economy didn't really recover after commies and a huge fraction of people are living off of budget jobs. They are also most likely to be in poverty as almost any private job usually pays more. The less poor are usually in bigger cities and close to supply lines and have less middlemen between them and foreign investors who pay and care more usually.
Saving money long term is not a common thing for most people, even less so if they are/were leftists. It is a common practice though, the problem is still that you can get a good salary mostly with foreign investors' businesses who are not really into shady stuff. This all keeps going only because of how much is taken and little is given to people so this pyramid keeps going, though seems like it got to the point of significant decreasing of government profits, which is why they started reforming retirement stuff, as well as forcing people to pay more intensively, up to putting people in jail for working unofficially.

Fug, i meant about not reporting, not saving

If you work legally, your employer must file their papers properly, which includes filing your salary. The tax office requires that employer deduces the income tax and sends it to them. The only way you can bypass paying these taxes is to work semi or non legally.

And it's a common practice to fuck people over with their gray salary. It was never stated in their contract that the employer must pay this money you receive in a blank envelope, and they don't hesitate to use this to their advantage.

You are misunderstanding, please seperate "Russia" from "Russian state", "Russian government", "Russian economy", and "Russian society". These are all separate things.
The Russian government has never sold a product. The Russian state sells several, like gas, weapons, services and tech.
You're also misunderstanding, and I'm a little tired of it.
A subcontractor doesn't have an employer. He gets paid to do 1 job and then he leaves. There's no salary. For example a tutor. Parents hire a guy to teach their kid math. They pay him $200 per session, and he has over 100 sessions with the kid, ending in $20,000. Or a plumber, or an electrical installer, or an accountant. They have no hourly salaries, it's on a job to job basis.
How is that money reported?
Do the parents report how much they paid the tutor?
How does the government know if they don't?
Levi Davis
You have so little grasp on economical and social realities of Russia and yet argue with a pair of actual russians about it. It would be funny if it wasn't inane.
