Kremlin officials continue to lie to their population about the low unemployment rate. Meanwhile the only possible instrument left to find a dream job in Russia is praying.
According to official data, the unemployment rate in the Federation fell to 3.2 per cent in May 2023. At the same time, according to the Financial Times, by October 2022, 1.12 million employees were working part-time, 240,000 were idle, and 3.3 million were on unpaid leave.
This situation already makes professional auto mechanics become farmers and cleaners. How world sanctions made Russia drawn in unemployment and why this brings the aggressor country closer to a break up – watch in our video.

The operators of the electricity systems of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia signed an agreement on Aug. 2 to disconnect from the Russian power system and synchronously connect to the European grid, the Lithuanian Energy Ministry announced.
The disconnection and synchronous connection is set to take place in February 2025.
The nations had previously agreed to join the European continental power system by the end of 2025, but decided to move the deadline up by nearly a year in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Since the beginning of the Russian full-scale war against Ukraine, the risks associated with the energy security of the Baltic States have significantly changed,” the Lithuanian Energy Ministry said.
The heads of Litgrid, AST, and Elering, the Baltic states’ electricity operators, signed an agreement committing to the new deadline and agreeing to complete necessary work by the agreed date. This includes installing synchronous condensers and reconstructing a power line between Estonia and Latvia.
The agreement also states that the three nations will withdraw from the Russian-controlled BRELL (Belarusian, Russian, Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian) system by the summer of 2024, six months before synchronization.
The prime ministers of the three Baltic states are expected to ratify the agreement in the coming days.
