Disturbing report on Uralvagonzavod, where at least five employees have been killed over the past 3 years and 26 were injured last year. Workers say that managers threaten them to not report negligence and workplace injuries.
e1.ru/news/spool/new…
Workers say that there are poor working conditions and equipment issues, such as the ventilation pipes that collapsed in this video, which apparently has gotten worse over the past decade. They also complain of low wages, only 25-30k rubles per month on average. 2/
They say that you have to work overtime to actually receive a decent wage based on bonuses and that salaries are only growing by 3% per year. Most workers are too afraid to talk to reporters because they fear they will be fired. 3/

"NATO ships with guided missile weapons systematically enter the Baltic Sea. Only last year, ships of this class performed missions near the Kaliningrad region three times...18 deployments by combat ships to the designated areas of cruise missile launches since 2016." 2/
"# of [NATO] drills has grown by 50% in recent years...the Defender Europe 2021 exercise, the largest exercise in the past 30 years, is taking place, involving up to 40k personnel. Their main aim is to practice the redeployment of a full-fledged US division from the US to Europe"

Well, to start with, Russia and China are cooperating on ballistic missile defenses and conducting joint strategic bomber flights into other countries’ air space.
google.com/amp/s/www.wash… Image
The problem is that most Russian officials don’t believe this, which is why they’re conducting joint strategic bomber flights with China and not the US. Image
Most articles that argue there will be a Sino-Russian break point to Central Asia, Russia’s Far East, and trade imbalance as unacceptable problems for Moscow. But Russia has been aware of those issues for years and they keep moving closer to China. That should tell us something. Image
