Sergey Chemezov, head of Rostec Corporation, warned of the threat of collapse of Russian production sector due to the rising key rate.

He made this prediction two days before the Russian Central Bank raised the key rate again last Friday.

"A serious obstacle to further industrial growth is the record level of the key rate... If we continue to work like this, the majority of enterprises will go bankrupt," Chemezov said.

I wonder why ATV crash is "mysterious" - unfortunatelly, it is relatively frequent case here in Russia, as owners/users of ATVs and other simmilar mentoys (waterjets, snowbikes etc.), mostly wealthy people, are combining relative lack of experience (as they drive them only few days every year) and lack of understanding of the danger associated with extreme driving of this toys.

The high interest rate side by side with a fairly aggressive inflation rate are certainly an extremely unhealthy sign.

Russian soldiers are reportedly looting and pillaging homes in Russia's Kursk region. A video from Korenevo shows residents returning to find their apartment ransacked, despite no Ukrainian soldiers having been in the area.

About self-proclaimed "Kremlin's propagandist Soloviev" (Shapiro)  -from https://t.me/borisenkoD/23459

"The main loser of the new TV season is Vladimir Solovyov. Since the beginning of September, his "Evening" has never been in the top 50 most popular TV projects of the week (in the audience of "all 4+"). The best result was in the week from September 2 to 8: 53rd place with a rating of 1.7%. In the first two months of the last TV season, "Evening with Vladimir Solovyov" regularly appeared in the top 50, often two issues got there at once. For example, in the week from October 23 to October 29, 2023: 39 and 49 places with an overall rating of 4%. 

A younger audience does not watch Solovyov. Since the beginning of the new TV season, his propaganda show on Rossiya 1 has never been in the top 100 of the target audience of 18-54. And the TV channel "Solovyov Live" in the same audience ranks last in ratings — even below the TV channel "2x2".
_________________________
I will add from myself - now to Solovyov's artificially inflated telegram channel, which I wrote about (https://t.me/borisenkoD/23196 ) recently, his TV programs with a rating of BOTTOM and BELOW the BASEBOARD have been added.

A question for our leadership (namely, the deputy head of the President's Administration Gromov) – Do you give it to right man?...I mean, is it worth giving RUR 4 billion government money to the company of a person who does not deliver propaganda from the word at all?"

Speaking for myself, I've been trying to convince Russias the folly of their ways for 10 years. In my experience they need absolutely  no protection from Western influencers.

A speech by Alexander Borodai, a member of the Russian parliament and a participant in the war in Donbas since 2014, has leaked online, addressing the so-called Russian volunteers. He openly referred to them as "second-rate soldiers" and "surplus people," used solely to exhaust Ukrainian defenses. According to him, the hundreds of thousands joining the Russian army are ballast, incapable of productive activity.

Russian media report that general Mirza Mirzaev, deputy chief of logistics of the Russian Guard, was arrested.

According to investigators, he demanded 140 million from a supplier of prefabricated building modules and threatened to break a 480 million contract if the money was not forthcoming. The company transferred the money to the general through an intermediary, and they were both detained.

Pro-Russian reaction on Borodai's speech (i do not know if you understand that Borodai is considered traitor since 2014, when he have sided with Surkov&Co against Novorossia and personally Strelkow who back then considered hom to be personal friend)

"Borodai. One can talk a lot and for a long time about the active role of this character in the strangulation of the Russian Spring. In the now famous passage of Borodai about "superfluous people" (https://t.me/RastaPavel/12535 ) the most curious thing is that, perhaps for the first time in his life, this suckerfish told ... the truth. It turned out to be a self-exposure session of a medium-sized Russophobe sent in the spring of 2014 by the enemy force to the Donbass to strangle the Russian Spring.  
 
That's really how they see it, and they stopped hiding their cannibalistic nature a long time ago. They flaunted this in a narrow circle before 2022, and continue in the same spirit during SVO. With pride. In some ways, in this they are consistent. 
 
The Borodai are fighting exclusively for a better future for themselves and their patrons-curators. All the others (absolutely everything!) for them, they are superfluous. Meat. Slag. 
 
The dominance of people like Borodi and Puzik* is explained by the fact that "superfluous people" are systematically deprived of the opportunity to apply their knowledge and experience. Deep down (???) the "borodais" understand their own uselessness, that's why they fuss, try to gain a foothold in the company of "God–chosen, untouchables" - pests, of which there are a majority in the current useless and helpless "elite". That's why they are nervous, trying to take an imposing pose, throw a plebs-ohlos in the snout: "Well? And what will you do to me?"

P.S. We have already talked about the appearance of Borodai in Donetsk in 2014 (http://www.za-nauku.ru/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=11072&Itemid=35 )ovorili (http://www.za-nauku.ru/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=11072&Itemid=35 ).  
 
"The trouble came in the guise of a Borodai. Of course, he is just a minor functionary, but it was with his arrival that everything went downhill. He loudly declared that they say "a special operation of the special services of the Russian Federation is taking place in Donbass, everyone should be afraid, he is responsible for the transfer of special forces units of the Russian Federation to Donbass," etc., etc. Faith in the Crimean option and lightning-fast accession to Russia was so strong that almost everyone believed in this nonsense. With the coming to power of Borodai (and Antyufeev, who replaced him), the unrestrained oligarchization of the DPR began. The construction of the People's Republics was curtailed and their reformatting into a police-corruption enclave began. We were dragged into a grueling internal struggle. Instead of the shining showcase of the Russian world, there is a terrible Middle Ages, devastation, managerial and personnel collapse, intellectual squalor."

A joker has called on Russian teachers to wear Patriotic Helmets. It seems to be working. 😎

The second episode of the project is already on YouTube! Continuing the measurement of the level of fascization in Russian society using Umberto Eco's essay “Eternal Fascism”.

This time the criterion “obsession with a conspiracy” was examined. According to legend, NATO plans to irradiate the Russian population with electromagnetic pulses using satellites! And teachers of the Voronezh region should stand up for their homeland and conduct a master class “Helmet of the Fatherland” on making hats from foil.

Actually the guy from Ukraine have sent to the schools fake order "from regional education directiorate" ordering this action with foil hats - and few schools bought it. Is it surprising after just few years ago half of the globe were wearing masks and staying in isolation (not to mention taking vacines of questionable quality)?
