russia Is No Longer a Competitor in Space
International anti-russian sanctions and the unwillingness of leading global companies to cooperate with russians in the peaceful exploration of space have knocked russia out of the global race to colonize the Moon. Today, the United States and China are competing for supremacy. The Americans plan to land astronauts on the planet no earlier than mid-2027, while the Chinese are talking about their own taikonaut mission by 2030.

Legal Absurdity, russian Style: Liability for Something that Is Not in the Law
russian officials’ uncontrollable desire to please the kremlin and be “even more patriotic” completely confuses ordinary russian citizens.

Utility Accidents – the New Norm of Life in the rf
The kremlin’s policy only deepens this gap. Billions of dollars from the federal budget are systemically directed to the military-industrial complex and the war against Ukraine, while housing and utilities remain chronically underfunded.

belarus Balancing Between Zero Growth and a New Economic Downturn
Formally, belarus ended last year with GDP growth of 1.3%, but this figure masks a sharp decline in economic momentum. Growth rates had been declining steadily throughout the year – from 0.8% in the third quarter to 0.4% in the fourth. As a result, in the first quarter of 2026, GDP is forecast to merely repeat the level of a year ago due to weak demand in the russian market.

Taxes, Tariffs, and Prices: the kremlin Intensifies Extraction of Money from the Population’s Pockets
russian inflation is increasingly becoming not a side effect of economic processes, but a deliberate instrument of state policy. The formal explanation given by the ministry of economic development – an increase in VAT from 20% to 22% – seems convenient, but it is not convincing. Businesses began raising prices last year and used the tax change only as a pretext for a new round of price increases.
