Ah so that is what the purpose of the wind generators are. I presume a sort of backup power for the electric boats and the offshore grid that will be created to keep them charged and whatnot that makes sense. Well probably one of many reasons for its existence of course :)

Russia Announces Plan To Halve Abortion Rates To Spur Population Growth
https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-plan-red ... 73124.html
MOSCOW -- Russia's government has approved measures aimed at halving the number of abortions carried out in the country before 2025, according to a document published on its website.

The plan is part of the government's latest long-term blueprint for improving the demographic situation in the country through 2025, amid a recently resumed decline in population growth after a decade of sluggish but stable increases.

The blueprint also sets forward plans for a significant reduction in infant and maternal mortality, and a rise in general reproductive health.

As part of the new measures regarding abortion, the authorities plan to improve public access to legal, psychological, and medical assistance for pregnant women considering terminating their pregnancies.

The program also sets out the goal of ensuring that 80 percent of women considering an abortion undergo consultations with a doctor, with a focus on increasing the likelihood that they reject the procedure.

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin says he will resist Russian military efforts to take control of mercenary group
Sun, 11 June 2023 at 5:51 pm BST

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the boss of the mercenary Wagner Group, was once a darling of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

But that relationship appears to be souring.

Russian Deputy Defense Minister Nikolai Pankov announced Saturday that "volunteer" groups fighting in the Ukraine War would be required to sign contracts with the country's defense ministry. The move is widely seen as an effort to bring the Wagner Group under official military control, the BBC reported.

"This will give volunteer formations the necessary legal status, create common approaches to the organization of comprehensive support and the fulfillment of their tasks," the ministry said in a statement.

Prigozhin, however, is not having it.

Lol it's all over for Russia as a united state if ethnic Chechens start massacring ethnic Russians in Rostov-on-Don. There is nothing that will question the legitimacy of the central government more. These predictions of Russia breaking up by 2030 becoming ever more real.

Huge civil war can't be ruled out. The revolt is going all in and either ends with the revolt being crushed, or with Putin falling.

Yeah, I'm struggling to process all this. History in the making here.

Also, gotta say, I'm a bit worried about the nuclear weapons aspect... which seems to have been ignored so far.
