We get 40,000, and some of us get 15,000 rubles. 15! Most people cannot afford to provide for themselves,” a Russian soldier commented on a poster promising salaries of 210,000 rubles for Russian contract enlistees.

1. Looks like the serfs are the front are unhappy, maybe they should reconsider their allegiances, I am sure there won’t be any mutinies or fights between the new mobiks and the old ones.

   Given the economic news coming out of Russia, I doubt they will receive higher wages any time soon.

   Russian gas giant Gazprom suffered net losses from January to June 2024 almost double those in the same period last year, the Ukrainian media outlet enkorr reported on July 31.

   Losses in the first half of 2024 totalled 480.64 billion rubles ($5.5 billion), while those in the first half of 2023 totalled 255 billion rubles ($2.95 billion), according to Gazprom financial statements seen by the outlet.

   Gazprom has had a turbulent time since the launch of Russia’s full-scale invasion – its revenue fell by 30% last year with a net loss of $6.9 billion, the largest in 25 years.

   Is it just me or are things getting tighter in Russia? The way to bankruptcy is paved, in 4 months, Finland will stop all Russian LNG imports and Ukraine will not prolong gas transit contracts, so the once cash cow and mighty stick of Gazprom is turning into a used condom.

2. Rebel Ukrainian Soldier fighting for Russia: You guys get paid?

3. Inhumane treatment of the Ruzzian soldiers ……. some self reflection isn’t present. All the war crimes and crimes against humanity Ruzzia has done is countless.

4. The Russians are finding out the same side that will commit multiple types of genocide, mass raping and kidnapping of children and civilians will also fuck over their own soldiers and send them to their deaths.

5. Even worse, they won’t even get to spend their own salary.

6. In another month it will be 420000 rubles and hopefully it will be worthless pieces of paper within a year.

7. One has to wonder at what point Russia runs out of people dumb/uninformed enough to fall for this scam.

   It’s a rhetorical question. I don’t want to hear the answer. Particularly not the real one.
