      The present budget, which is being so painfully adopted, does not provide
for expenditure for the radical improvement of enterprises. How will your de-
partment resolve this problem?
      Sometimes reorganization measures do not require direct financial sup-
port by the state. But at the same time there are enterprises which we are obliged
to help. When the threat of bankruptcy for an enterprise arises, the state will
seek the necessary funds. This is not provided for in the current budget, but we
have raised the question of adding two clauses: for the formation of a fund to
radical improvements and a fund for social support in the event of bankruptcy.

1) bankruptcy; 2) to pin one’s hopes; 3) to run the enterprise; 4) insolvent; 5)

Russian one, aren’t they?

both for Russian and foreign investors. 4) The situation in defense industry
