Not to worry! Just a bit of Y2K hangover.

And most will be dead before they can spend it.

And they are only fighting with shovels,

and Putin has State 6 Cancer, after dying 4X already.

From a Russian point of view it makes sense not to pay mobliks who will soon enough be dead anyway.

I've seen videos of Wanger shovel charges.

Very stirring, like the bayonet charge on Little Round Top by Joshua Chamberlain and his 20th Maine Regiment.

I don't know how to say "Fix shovels!" in Russian, though.   

You think they might issue the Wangers shovels that weren't broken, though...

Wait until the prisoners dont get their amnesty. They will react well to that.

They’re hypersonic shovels.

They’re also getting desperate with their propaganda. Russia GDP is up quite a bit, no reason that they can’t pay their troops.

After WWII Russia had over three million severally disabled veterans. After 1950 they disappeared.

At about the same time, disabled veterans were gaining political strength; Stalin did not approve.
Best NOT to join the Russian VFW!!!

Many stories about this, some true others questionable.

Solzhenitsyn mentions it in The Gulag Archipelago.

“There are no invalids in the U.S.S.R.!”
“These words were spoken in 1980 by a Soviet official who was asked if Russia would host the Paralympic Games in conjunction with that year’s Moscow Olympics. The country refused, and the Paralympics were instead held in The Netherlands, apart from the traditional games.”
