Comrades! Let us cast our gaze upon the current state of housing for our students. The latest reports from the 'Cian' analytical center reveal a most curious phenomenon: in certain quarters of Moscow, the rents for one-room tenements near the great universities have seen a slight decline. Indeed, the parasitic grasp of the landlords has loosened by a mere 4% near Moscow State University and a surprising 29% near MEPhI. In the provinces, the toil is slightly eased near the universities of Yekaterinburg and Kazan, where prices have dipped by 4% and 5% respectively.

But let us not be deceived by these crumbs! This is no act of charity, but a reaction to the sheer audacity of their own previous greed—the prices had reached such an extortionate level that even the most desperate could no longer sustain them. The capital has simply hit a ceiling of exploitation.

Behold the audacity of the bourgeoisie in Saint Petersburg! There, the rent-seekers have increased their demands by 19% near ITMO and LETI. In our capital, the monopoly of location allows the landlords near MGIMO and RUDN to hike their prices by another 9%. Even in Nizhny Novgorod, the working students are crushed under a 13% increase in rent near the Lobachevsky University. It is a systematic plunder of the young and hopeful!

What, pray tell, causes this instability? The analysts claim that the 'base level of prices' was too high and the 'supply' was sufficient. I say to you: it is the inherent contradiction of the capitalist machine! The landlords attempt to squeeze every last kopek from the student, only to find that the proletariat's pockets are empty.

Consider this wretched fact: renting a room near a leading university remains 26% more expensive than in the rest of the city. In Saint Petersburg, this gap reaches a monstrous 45%! The bourgeoisie justifies this by citing 'central locations,' but we know it is nothing more than the raw appetite of the rentier class.

For the vast majority of our toil-worn students, these prices are simply 'unbearable.' They are forced to flee to the furthest outskirts, enduring long journeys and wretched conditions, simply because the financial capital has turned a basic human need—shelter—into a tool of oppression. The yoke of the landlord is heavy, and the time for its removal draws near!
