The Kremlin is working to systematically instill “patriotic” values in children and teenagers through a Soviet-style propaganda campaign as it looks toward preparing the next generation for a life shaped by conflict with Ukraine and the West.

After seeing Perun’s video on how the Russian war economy is actually doing well, with the biggest limitation being a lack of bodies to fulfill all the jobs, it seems Putin stumbled into a probable stable future built on using human bodies as fuel for his money machine. There may come a point where Ukraine quits the fight, regardless of the outcome, and Russia’s economy collapses.
I mean even before the war ends, 19% interest is not stable. Capital investment has fallen to a third of what it once was. (ignoring forced investments needed to workaround sanctions) The Russians will also run out of old Soviet stockpile weapons which will be a major hit to their GDP as Russia starts to go into recession.
It’s stable for the medium and short term, not long term
