Only half, we got to push harder.

Sad trombone noises...

Have some empathy. These aren't oligarchs plotting a foreign war, these are everyday people (half the country!) being forced into poverty.
-
For real. Just because Putin is a Bond villain doesn't make every citizen of Russia one of his goons.
-
It is however people that in very high degree support their president.
-
And? The Russians are the bad guys invading Ukraine. Did you forget that?

I have a hard time squaring that sentiment with information like this:

Because in Europe everything is fine, isn't it? With the new war inflation is skyrocketing and a new interest raise is around the corner. Thank you EU.

Why the Whataboutism?
Also, mind to explain how it is the fault of the EU for Russia starting a war against another country?
-
I'm also interested in this. In fact all of this could be my fault, so I just want to check. The one thing we can be sure of is that it's not the Russian war that's causing any problems anywhere, right? Maybe it's the phase of the moon, or astrology

Inflation rate of the EU is at its lowest since October 2021.
Meanwhile the conversation rate is 99 Ruble for 1€.
So yes, thank you. We're actually doing pretty alright. But I'm sure your propaganda media tells you something very different. -

🤖 I'm a bot that provides automatic summaries for articles: ::: spoiler Click here to see the summary The findings, from an October survey of almost 5,000 people, put Russia's economic woes in sharp focus and could give the authorities a headache in the run-up to March's presidential election, in which President Vladimir Putin is likely to extend his more than two decades in power.
Record-low unemployment this year is evidence of Russia's stark labour shortages, while the rouble's weakness has added to intense inflation pressure.
Interest rates, already at 13%, are expected to rise further to tackle inflation seen ending the year at around 7%, well above the Bank of Russia's 4% target.
Asked whether their salary was enough to cover basic spending, without taking into account income from second jobs or investments, just one in five Russians surveyed said yes.
The average monthly nominal wage earned by Russians was 71,419 roubles ($756) in July, Rosstat's statistics show.
Russia could miss its 2024 budget revenue target and be forced to hike business taxes if the rouble proves stronger than expected and optimistic economic assumptions fall short, analysts say.
