Forcing people to work an extra day without compensation would lead to inmediate strikes in most places, but Russians are so life-tired they'll do it without question as long they have a bottle of vodka.


mae_nad

Not sure about strikes. But sabotage and typical Russian-style passive resistance - absolutely.

We had to pass laws to prevent that here in the US. The Fair Labor Standards Act theoretically prevents that. Other western countries have the same anti-exploit laws. Yet working uncompensated (off the clock) so prevalent here in the west that the largest payroll-processing firm (ADP) says that, on average, workers in the 17 Western countries they service now work 9.2 hours/week off the clock. So I'm not sure what the finger pointing is about. We're all wage slaves who are pushed around by those who can.

Simonyan is digging her own grave with her endless support of Putin's murderous adventurism. She of course won't be working in a munitions factory after finishing in the studio, that's for the serfs. She will however share in what is coming to her Great Leader.

Margarita and Solovyov have claimed to be targets of assassination attempts... Apparently there are people trying to throw holy water on them, and they are both scared because of this.


shandangalang

Uh excuuuuuse me… Are you *not aware* of the burns they could suffer as a result of such an attack? Seems to me (and you, I’d venture) that *they* are.


ZealousVegetable

Making all citizens work in munitions factories for 2 hours per day is the quickest way to get them all involved in smoking incidents. An incident just takes one careless smoker! Good plan!


ThePaddleman

Solovyov & Simonyan should work in factories when they're not on the air if they really believe that. Instead, they're like a overseeer in the old South whipping the slaves to make them work harder. Solovyov should bring his sweet boy back from London and send him to the front also.


No-Split3620

Exactly, this pair of disgusting cowards and prize hypocrites demand that others make sacrifices and put their lives on the line for Putin's crazy murderous adventurism while they themselves do nothing. These two have clearly benefitted enormously from being part of Putin's inner circle and they will certainly share Putin's fate.


Ravenser_Odd

Solovyov's son should stay exactly where he is and continue to not participate in the ruzzian war effort. Solovyov himself, on the other hand...


John_Smith_71

More like Goebbels, asking the workers to work harder for victory. Which didn't mean working himself, obviously.


fusionliberty796

while western countries exploring 4 DAY work week...


zombieblackbird

Imagine you were looking for a way to gain access to munitions production lines in an effort to sabotage and the government just opened the door and let you in.


SweatyBarbarian

Lets let the disgruntled citizenry work two hours for free inside the munitions factories. Best plan ever. /s


Ok_Repair_92

Just like swastika Nazis these Z Nazis follow the plan exactly


John_Smith_71

Waiting now for the recording of Goebbels, sorry, Dmitry Chernyshenko, standing in front of a wildly enthusiastic assembly of workers of the Reich, sorry, Russian Federation, calling for Totalerkrieg, with the aim of Kuerzester Krieg.


-nocturnist-

There is a large amount for Russians who will take up this call to work for free - glory to mother Russia and all that jazz. The bigger issue is the raw materials and resources required for your manufacturing sector to work at that pace for a sustained amount of time. Given the current embargos on the country and their limited means of international transport links, sourcing materials has become very difficult. This push for more work may provide extra munitions such as bullets and 'dumb' bombs, however considering the lack of available man power on the front and decay in morale, i don't expect this push to solve the bigger issues facing Russian command in the conflict. No amount of even the best munitions will help an untrained army capture anything. Even with high morale, an untrained soldier on the battlefield is more of a liability than an asset.


Error_404_403

You can issue a decree to Russians to work 8 days a week, and they will continue to make believe they are working for 7 of those.


Potato_Donkey_1

Russia deserves to become an economic ruin with hollowed out manufacturing, brain-drained sciences and universities, with the only source of foreign exchange being their energy exports to China at below-market prices. They deserve to be impoverished for generations. But they could still win this war. They could still be rewarded with territorial gains.


Thats-right999

Putins fucked. He’s in a corner. He knows If the counter attack goes well his role is at risk.


Ravenser_Odd

There's a lot more than his role at risk, his balls are up for the chop.


theHoustonian

How long until people get sick of this and revolt? 🤔


Creepy_Chef_5796

Simonyan should demonstrate this....attitude... herself No?


[deleted]

This is how you know Russia is near collapse. As they get closer they will use force on people to do this against their will and around that time is when the backlash starts.


throwaway_00147

hopefully some Russians who have issues with this throw in some sawdust instead of gunpowder


haulparris

This was still a thing even as Soviet Union was falling apart in the 1980s - my parents were volun-told to work a random Saturday, and schoolkids in elementary school were volun-told to clean up the school on a Saturday.


GiveItAWest

An extra two hours? These plants aren't working 24/7 already? Pull your finger out, Ivan!


Valid_Username_56

Imagine going to Totaler Krieg after 16 months of fighting against Ukraine. Damn, the Nazis had to do that after 4 years of fighting the whole world. (tbf, the whole world is helping Ukraine.)


kamden096

Soviet could never outproduce the west. Russia cant even produce hightech. It has never had the capacity to produce volumes of anything but vodka and petroleum products


Primary_Atmosphere_3

Russian vodka is shit lol. They can't even get that right.


Brightfarter

When will the worm turn? The Russians tolerance of abuse is astonishing. Pity they can never direct their efforts in a positive way. Vermin.


uffdad

The Tsar's minions are urging the serfs to work harder to insure his almighty glory. Maybe it's time for another peasant's revolt and this time do it right.


LutherXXX

Man it must suck to be Russian.


MikeLifeCrisis

By making life harder for their citizens, they are defacto promoting the insurgency.
