1/4. Oligarchs are being squeezed in Russia - the splits have started, with public statements from them contradicting #Putin directly.

When the war broke out in February 2022, there were a handful of Oligarch’s who spoke out against Putin, but since then Putin has used his criminal enterprise and FCB thugs to crack down on dissent and the Oligarchs were silenced.

On russian Telegram (which is monitored by the FSB): A russian publishes a rant.

He will be disappeared.

“What angers me most is precisely this kind of brazen and pseudo-humanistic lie”

1/6 Image
If Russia cared about people and not territories, it would have simply resettled those who wanted to onto its lands, which are more than 90% empty, even before the war. It would not have mobilized the residents of the “new regions”, grinding them up in meaty assaults.

2/6
If Russia doesn't need the territories, then why is it clinging to them with its teeth and not ready to give them up in exchange for peace and the restoration of the rights of the Russian-speaking population , as the propaganda screams?

On russian Telegram: Putin fudges the housing crises, with a Trump styled alternative reality

Mutko muddies muddies muddies

Vitaly "let me speak from my heart" Mutko met with Putin today to discuss housing issues in Russia. And there (spoiler) everything is extremely bad.

1/1
Mortgages have already been recognized as a "dead" way to buy housing even in the State Duma. In 2024, mortgages fell by half. And the debt increased by 63%, which became a historical record. Only the elite of the real estate market, where prices don’t matter - is afloat.

2/2
Putin believes that Russia has everything to fix the issues with housing provision. He claims building materials are available, science is developing, and the process is well organized. The president clearly does not understand what is happening in the real estate market.

The US dumbfuckery on tariffs is going to result in a catastrophe that no-one has factored in.

I have published threads on the importance of Rare Earth Elements - and I have warned that China’s grip on REE’s is the USA’s most significant weakness in any dispute with China.

1/6 Image
Currently the United States imports 78% of its rare earth requirements from China. When China shuts the US out of supply - this will result in a catastrophe that will be an economic apocalypse.

2/6 Image
In the event of a massive deterioration or even conflict between the US and China, the supply of REE’s would end overnight which would have a massive, possible catastrophic impact on the global economy.

On russian Telegram: Gazprom woes accelerate

Gazprom suffers failures and exits foreign projects en masse:

Gazprom is winding down its participation in the Bolivian Acero project: a well drilled 5,830 m deep turned out to be dry.

1/3 Image
The company's corporate journal says it has gained "unique technical and production experience."

In addition, Gazprom announced the end of work in the Uzbek project Shakhpakhty due to the end of the production sharing agreement.

2/3
Earlier, the company also ceased operations in India, Venezuela and Tajikistan - the projects did not meet expectations and led to losses.

On russian Telegram: Putin can’t hide the conscription in the outlying regions anymore, now it’s a free for all in Moscow and St Petersburg.

Putin signed a decree on the start of the spring draft into the army. It will take place from April 1 to July 15.

1/4 Image
160 thousand people are subject to conscription. From this draft, electronic summonses will be introduced in Russia; if a conscript receives one, he will it will not be possible to leave the country.

In addition:

— if you fail to appear in response to a summons, you can forget about taking out loans, driving a car, buying real estate, and even registering as an individual entrepreneur;

On russian Telegram: Remember Putin has repeatedly said the economy is the strongest in the world?

Russians have started complaining more often about wage arrears. According to Rostrud, the number of complaints increased by 37.4% in 2024.

1/3 Image
Rostrud cites the suspension of payments for products shipped by companies, the diversion of resources to servicing loans, and a lack of working capital as reasons for the emergence of debt.

2/3
In addition, in 2024, the volume of overdue wage arrears increased by 43.5%, and in February 2025, by 2.3 times compared to the same period a year earlier.

All going to plan eh?
