I do hear Russia is cold and equipment provided was poor. It does seem strange that Russia does not prepare properly for Russian winter, you’d think that would very much fall under #YouHadOneJob. In a non-functioning system that is one too many.
In Russia we have the joke: “In Russia a winter becomes unexpectedly always.” Always beginning of every winter is a very tough time for municipal services. And every strong snowfall can make problems too.
And as far as I understand “special operation” was planned as very short. And in Ukraine it is warmer than in Russian usually.
When I see a photo like this, my instinctual interpretation is that this is a collaboration between Olga and the troops behind her to generate the photo opportunity. Normally when a photo is staged it makes it less powerful. Here I wonder if the reverse is true. If the troops are intentionally helping to create powerful photos of protest then one could say that is the troops joining the protest. Which makes this interesting.
I disagree with both versions. Before current events in Moscow there were many independent journalists (including journalists from western media). And authorities tried to do a “good image”. One of thesises of Kremlin propaganda is: “In Russia mass protests is treated more softer than in the West.” And so riot squads didn’t try to arrest all immediately.
But as far as I know many people in Russian police really do not trust their superiors.
First, I see this rumour only in doubtful sources. And there are very many workers in Uralvagonzavod. If it would be true there would be more sources who would write about it.
Second, as far as I know there are another tank producers in Russia.

It seems wrong for me.
