Meet Mr. Okroyan, the Chief Engineer of the Russian factory that builds motors for missiles that they fire at Ukraine.
His daughter owns a £6 million mansion in Great Britain. His wife owns a few businesses in Poland.

A captured POW from Russia testifies that their standing orders are to shoot all prisoners from #Ukraine on the spot
@Shilohx
Yes, exactly so.
So we can expect a surge in "patriotism" and a further whipping of the population up into a war frenzy, more justification for an illegal war of aggression and more scary forecasts and prophecies of doom for "poor Motherland" in case this war should stop.
You know, classic Mussolinian-Hitleresque fascism.

No, it’s simpler than that.
Putin is buying their loyalty with money gifts and by making them exempt from allegations of corruption.
MPs become forever indebted to him personally and keep propping up his fascist regime in return.
They all think that by erecting a wall between themselves and the piss poor population they’ll be forever immune against anything.
Well, the population is used to behaving slavishly towards state officials for centuries, so it’s all going to work.
Russia's Treasury was forced to sell 3.6 tons of gold from the National Reserve for 2.3 billion Chinese yuans because of a catastrophic drop in sales of oil and natural gas.
It is Russia's biggest attempt to counter a budget deficit the size of which they haven't seen since 1998.
All this to a chorus of cheers from state TV stations about how they are going to starve Europe by cutting off gas supplies.

The wife of former Ukrainian MP Medvedchuk, who's famous for being Putin's "brother-in-law" because they christened each others children or something like that and whom Putin planned to install as a puppet "president" of Ukraine, is financing the Rosgvardia (the Russian Guard) military organization through companies registered in occupied Crimea.

My mom received a bill from the cell operator for traffic she’d used of WhatsApp calls while out and then blamed me for activating Wi-Fi on her phone because in her mind that is what made her get that bill somehow.
After futile attempts at defending my innocence I gave up, and we haven’t spoken since yesterday 😂

I was born in the USSR and grew up in an ex-soviet "republic". Want an honest opinion on communism from someone who's experienced it firsthand? Ask me.
