So now we are having hundreds of thousands dead, entire regions devastated and ruined for decades at least. And Boris? Oh he got supposedly banned from running in politics. Not even for that.

5000 is a pretty dang large number. What are the given reasons for this? The usual "it's not economically valid" (aka unprofitable in short term)?
Excellent work! Gotta ask about the bus line - were the authorities planning on closing it? Removing the buses?
QA engineer. Used to work mainly for front-end of various trade-related websites, currently working with more hardware oriented things. Still essentially trying to break the nice, pretty code of my developers. All in all, not a bad job, pay is decent (something like twice the average for my city), don't have to break my back in manual or deal with customers.
Funnily enough, it was this occupation that had kept me from embracing Marxism for a long time, as I didn't consider myself "proper" proletariat. Proletariat, I thought, were people breaking their backs in factories, construction, etc. I was just a prissy white collar, and any socialist revolution would sweep me away alongside the oligarchs, except they have better chances of escaping justice. It took a good friend to sit down and explain to me the actual definitions of proletariat and bourgeoisie, as well as class interests.
Oh lovely, so fighting Nazis is now illegal?
