I see the Ruskies are giving prisoners the option of fighting on the front line in Ukraine rather than serve prison sentence .
Could this solve OUR prison population problem
I mean ,plenty of “ hard” men inside .
They’d enjoy the action |  |

Slavery was an ancient institution in Russia and effectively was abolished in the 1720s. Serfdom, which began in 1450, evolved into near-slavery in the eighteenth century and was finally abolished in 1906. Serfdom in its Russian variant could not have existed without the precedent and presence of slavery.

This seems to me a distinction without an absolute difference. One of the alleged points of difference is that serfs had limited legal rights while slaves did not. However, there was a spectrum of practices in colonial slavery, and also variations in how owners treated slaves. The Berkeley professor Dylan Penningroth argues that in fact many American slave communities recognised property and certain other rights.

Serfdom wasn't great, but neither was being a slum dweller in Victorian Britain or a child that had to go down the mines to work | | | |

What's that got to do with slavery? It's not like conditions were great for poor people in Russia in Victorian times.

"Russia Can’t Keep Spending Like This for Long
Moscow is depleting its rainy-day savings to plug its war-induced fiscal deficit while preserving social stability."

Of course its order books are full, it's losing a hell of a lot of equipment. Do you have any links to back up what you say? Any proof, actuall proof?
PS, I know, you won't provide any becaause we'll just ridicule the source. To be fair Pravda is quite biased. | | | |

Your Reuters article is them regurgitating Russias claims and going with that...
"Moscow now expects gross domestic product (GDP) to climb 3.9% in 2024, up from 2.8% in the forecast it issued in April, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said last week.
They cant even sell their own bonds. As for your second link...
"“Products have slowed down coming into Russia,” says Chris Weafer. “Spare parts are more difficult to access. Every day there are stories of banks in China, Turkey and the Emirates refusing to deal with Russian transactions, whether it’s money from Russia to buy goods or money going back to Russia in payment for oil or other imports. Unless this is resolved, Russia will have a financial crisis by the autumn.”
That’s why it would be wrong to conclude that Russia has beaten sanctions. Up till now it’s found ways of dealing with them, getting around them, reducing the threat from them.
But the pressure on the Russian economy from sanctions hasn’t gone away."
