Ukraine - Consequences of Putin's ruling

More or less all we know that Russian soldiers in Ukraine plundering toilets, washing machines, blenders, parts of air-conditioning systems and other simple things that are common in our life, which of course we do not consider, as worthy human sacrifices. These are not some treasures, expensive antiques, paintings or anything like this, but ordinary items that can break and even will not last forever.

This behavior of the Russian army reveals the situation in Russia and its problems.

We all knew a different Russia, powerful, with a relatively strong army and economy, oligarchs, big corporations like Gazprom, where they make billions. But it is only a small part of Russia or a small part of its people who receive all those resources and money, while most of people in this country, especially in the provinces, live in poverty.

A lot of them, like in North Korea, have never had normal toilets and don’t even know why a blender is needed. They live on the brink of poverty and are able to survive with their ingenuity, for which they are famous and sometimes funny.

Relatively good lived people in Russia only in such big cities like Moscow, which costs of living are even higher than in some European cities. Slightly lower in St. Petersburg, but still not far from European standards. And if to talk about the rest of cities, they still smell of Soviet times, the ruined and potholed roads of Russia, where in some places people do not find any work at all and etc...

The basis of the Russian army is people from impoverished provinces

As a result, from major cities, like Moscow, no one wants to serve in the army or go to war in Ukraine, where most of people who serve in their army and currently located in Ukraine are from villages and towns with high poverty levels, which maybe really never had normal toilet.

Consequences of Putin's ruling

This war is undoubtedly an outward projection of Russia's internal problems. Most people in Russia are on the brink of poverty and that is the result of 22 years of Putin's ruling.

With help of war, he just probably trying to divert the attention of his electorate on something else from problems, which he caused itself. 

Putin's environment and elites, including Putin, have been plundering this country for decades, cultivating their own wealth, corrupting and bribing politicians and leaders from European or NATO countries to gain maximum and absolute power in the world, pushing own local people into rising poverty.

At the same time, they destroyed all Russia, its democracy, independent media and political opponents so that no one could overthrow this gang of thieves from power.
