one of the many, many perks for the ruling degenerates. monke and his merry band of gangsters are ultimately all homo sovieticus whos prime years were all in the 70/80s vatnik union. Thus the increasing nostalgia as death approaches them and desire to go back to the "good old days"

its also going on in the economy. as what is left of the old market(ish) economy gets torn to shred by impeding bankruptcies and apparchniks/gangsters stealing them from their owners, so are increasingly obvious proposals for proto command economy in the forms of semi-nationalization and "state councils" by firms.
