Good Luck, an Ikea copycat, joins the ranks of rebranded dupes of many western chains in Russia. And now, a store called Good Luck has opened in Moscow as an Ikea copycat. "The departure of Ikea is not a reason to abandon the usual interior design," Good Luck writes on its website. There are no suppliers for bathroom and kitchen items yet, employees at the store told the Moscow Times.

☆ Analysis: Prigozhin's fate remains unclear and it signals more trouble in Russia
  + stars: | 2023-07-07 | by ( Jill Dougherty | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —The bizarre tale of Yevgeny Prigozhin, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s former pal-turned-mutineer, just got a whole lot weirder. His men had three choices: follow Prigozhin to Belarus, join the regular Russian military, or stop fighting and go home. He was a tough guy strutting about in camouflage, whose fighters could win battles in Ukraine that the regular Russian military couldn’t handle. Prigozhin’s ultimate fate is still unclear, but he is only one of Putin’s problems. And that portends more repression, more “settling scores,” and more fighting behind the scenes in Putin’s Russia.

☆ An ominous policy change is a sign Russia is preparing for a long, bloody war in Ukraine

Recent changes to Russian conscription law indicate Moscow is preparing for a long war in Ukraine. Beyond a need for manpower, the changes may reflect the Kremlin's embrace of more heavy-handed rule. But Russian leaders appear to preparing for a long and bloody fight, judging by a series of new measures related to military conscription. The Russian government is "methodically stepping through a process to go over to a higher readiness and protracted war," Massicot added.

☆ Russia's desperately trying to drum up new recruits by selling military service as a 'worthy future' as thousands of troops die in Ukraine

Russia is desperately selling military service as a "worthy future" to prospective recruits. The Washington Post reported that much of Russia's recruitment is happening regionally. Some of the army brochures say that "Contract service is a worthy future," the Post reported.

Russia's push for more troops and glamorization of military enrollment comes as the country's casualties continue to climb.
☆ Moscow's promise of big payments to its troops is creating a new headache for the Russian military
  + stars: | 2023-04-18 | by ( Michael Peck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
But there are already reports of Russian troops not getting paid on time or at all. Anger over pay issues could worsen the already poor morale among Russian troops in Ukraine. Lev Vlasov/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesOn the other hand, life in the Russian military is no picnic. Nonetheless, military pay looks generous compared to the civilian sector, where the average monthly wage is 63,000 rubles, or $770. However, cutting military pay – or failing to pay salaries and bonuses – would be a risky move.
