Two years of war: real economic outcomes for both countries
In simpler terms, investors had their plants, factories, and power stations seized in russia. Now, here's the question: who will want to open their businesses in russia after this, even if the sanctions are lifted?
Ten years of Crimea's occupation: "stones from the sky" have become prophetic
At that time, there were no clear calls for joining russia. There were some vague discussions about it, but nothing more. Many couldn't believe it. There was a clear conviction that we disagreed with Kyiv's policies and needed more autonomy and freedom...
Investments in the occupation: a "scheme" worth billions
By promising the arrival of "investors" from russia to the deserted factories and mines, representatives of the "DNR"/"LNR" attempt to create the illusion of a bright future. Their aim is also to prevent the remaining scanty population from migrating. This is crucial; otherwise, there would be no one left to plunder...
Resistance of the system, trial and error: several acts of the Ukrainian anti-corruption drama
Successes in government actions are harder to convey to the public than the failures, especially when the government loses popularity, and individual representatives continue to get involved in corruption scandals. What may appear to the Ukrainian public as exceptional corruption may actually indicate the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures: there is more exposure and less stealing...
Life in "russia". Luhansk journal
Pensioners are preoccupied with the topic of pension recalculations. Mothers are concerned about getting a unified allowance. Both groups are thoroughly disappointed; almost everyone feels, compared to their neighbor, that there has been a mistake in their case, and they deserve more...
Suspended sentence and fine cancellation: how "draft dodgers" are punished in the Donetsk oblast
In most cases, a three-year prison sentence is given. Subsequently, based on Article 75 of the Ukrainian Criminal Code, the accused is released from serving the sentence with a probationary period of 1-2 years...
"All the money went to the war", or why Sevastopol is left without water supply
I don't recall such chaos in my entire life. We laughed at the Ukrainians who spent the last winter without power. Now they have heating and water, while we're completely screwed. All the money went into the war, and they forgot about ordinary people and their problems...
The economy in the "DNR" - "LNR": deferred liquidation
In fact, the economy as such no longer exists in the territory of the Ukrainian Donbas captured by the Nazis. This does not prevent high-ranking representatives of the aggressor country and their local satellites from continuing to make promises of a "bright future"...
"They replaced the old curbs and curbstones". Luhansk journal
However, we are already russia. Like adopted children in a new family, we, taken in without asking, timidly adapt to its rules. Adoptive parents compensate the absence of our familiar family with new clothes and bright toys. And we already forget who we are and where we come from. Life around me is changing so rapidly that there is no time to ponder over such impractical questions...
Crimea: a year of despair and a look into the future
The war is not somewhere there, not nearby; it is already here. This understanding took a very long time to form, but only the second half of the year finally shaped it. Anything can hit anywhere and anything. So there are many more people who want the war to end. Not victory, not surrender, but specifically the end of it...
2024: Anticipating an economic boom
In 2024, the war with russia will not allow for a "big leap" in the Ukrainian economy. Experts predict very moderate growth, but still growth, not a decline...
How our children are made into our enemies: militarization of teenagers in the Luhansk oblast
Children in the occupied territories are undoubtedly part of a vulnerable category. They are still growing, their mental apparatus is not definitively formed, they depend on adults, and at the very least, they will be subjected to indoctrination by the occupying authorities...
Fitness-mobilization: tightening is inevitable, but there are nuances
The situation is very complex and delicate. Changes have been overdue for a long time, as the current law is a prehistoric Soviet one that does not consider modern realities. The military wants maximum restrictions: summons through the Diia app, by phone and email, lowering the conscription age to a minimum, criminalization of failure to appear in response to a summons, blocking bank accounts, and so on...
"Russia will have to go all the way until something like the Ukrainian Autonomous Republic appears on the map of Russia": russian media on Ukraine
According to the West, Zelensky has lost the ability to 'maneuver in the conflict with Russia in the interests of Washington and its allies'. And he will have to maneuver (i.e. to engage in negotiations with Moscow) 'according to the assessment of the American intelligence community, given the situation on the Ukrainian theater of military operations', possibly in the near future"...
Ukraine's recovery: Is society ready for labor migrants from Africa?
The deficit of professionals in engineering and technical specialists on construction sites in Ukraine has reached 50% mass recruitment of labor migrants from poor African and Asian countries, is not a viable scenario. Society is not prepared for such a scenario...
The Ukrainian "plebiscite by death" of 1932–1933. Why?
The grain crisis of 1927–1928 and the shortage of currency from the sale of grain abroad could jeopardize the Soviet government's plans for the economic development of the USSR. A mechanism for the continuous supply of grain to the state was needed...
Kolomoisky: a gesture of despair
The complete shutdown of ferroalloy plants in late October to early November was a response from their owner, oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky, to his own arrest. The "patriot who prevented the 'russian spring' in the Dnipropetrovsk oblast in 2014" thereby inflicted serious economic damage on Ukraine...
Financial front: tensions are growing
Allies fully understand the necessity of continuing financial support to a country that is holding back the aggressor, posing a threat to both European and global security. However...
The "DNR" promises big salaries for bus drivers and plans to encourage teen labor
The conditions for employing children have been simplified to the extent that the employer is not required to demand medical evaluations regarding their health. A relatively recent medical examination will be adequate...

In the conditions of a full-scale war and an increase in military expenses, the government managed to partially return the social focus to the state budget for the next year. The main risk for its execution lies in the high expectations of economic growth. Will they be justified?
