An elite Russian commander told Moscow's troops that they would 'go to heaven' if they died in Kursk

• A Russian commander said that soldiers who died serving their country in Kursk would go to heaven.
• Ukraine's counteroffensive into Kursk took its Western allies and Russia by surprise.
• Kyiv says its forces have captured roughly 386 square miles of Russian territory since August 6.

A Russian special forces unit commander told the parents of conscripts that their children would go to heaven if they died serving their country in Kursk.
Ukraine launched an offensive into Russia's Kursk region on August 6, taking both Russia and the West by surprise and forcing Russian President Vladimir Putin to divert some troops from Ukraine.

Following the incursion, commander Apti Alaudinov said he observed parents demanding that their children be taken out of the combat zone.
In a message shared on his Telegram channel on August 18, Alaudinov said it is their duty to protect the country when it's being attacked.
He said conscripts who die defending "their Fatherland, their faith" will "go to heaven," Russian-language media outlet Meduza reported, citing the Telegram video.
The incursion was a surprise as NATO officials thought that Ukraine would have to wait another year to launch a counteroffensive. However, experts say that it has proven highly effective.

Upright Hero Pudding has decided to let Mother Russia is going to be a 'safe haven' for people who want to trade liberal Western ways for Russian 'moral values'​

• Putin signed a decree that Russia would welcome foreigners wanting to escape Western liberal ideals.
• Applicants may include those from countries unaligned with "Russian spiritual and moral values."
• The application process has been simplified, and visas may be issued as soon as next month.

Russia, in many ways an authoritarian state, has designated itself as a "safe haven" for citizens of Western countries looking to escape "destructive neoliberal ideas."

Applicants can request residency based on the rejection of what the decree describes as their home countries' "destructive neoliberal ideals," which it says differ from "traditional Russian spiritual and moral values." Russia is expected to produce a list of which countries are included in this exception, TASS said in its report on the new decree.

Some far-right figures and conspiracy theorists celebrated news of the new policy in a manner that aligns with a growing online trend, particularly among certain far-right personalities, of praising Russian society and comparing it positively with the US and other Western nations.

An economic catastrophe is lurking beneath Russia’s GDP growth as Putin ‘throws everything into the fireplace’​

Even as Ukrainian advances in the Kursk region pierce Russia’s aura of military invincibility, resurgent cynics have painted an unrealistically optimistic picture of a supposedly resilient Russian economy despite sanctions and the exit of over 1,000 global multinational corporations.

This misleading narrative attributes Russia's apparent economic continuity to aggressive government spending and efforts to shield the population from restrictive monetary policies through extreme fiscal stimulus.

However, this rosy outlook is fundamentally flawed, except for one crucial observation: Russia is indeed engaged in unsustainable spending practices.

The reality of Russia's economic situation is far more complex and concerning than some would have you believe.

The productive core of the Russian economy has been severely compromised, with the government's spending spree bearing a striking resemblance to Keynes' famous metaphor of digging trenches and filling them with dirt—a superficial attempt to prop up GDP figures without creating genuine economic value, improving the lives of the Russian people, or improving Russian productivity.

Financial, production, and human resources have been redirected en masse to the defense sector, leaving the civilian sector struggling to meet growing consumer demand.

This imbalance—cannibalizing the rest of the Russian economy to fund Putin’s war—has fueled inflation, further exacerbated by the depreciation of the ruble and rising import costs.
