Comrades! Cast your gaze upon the latest tidings from the official scribes, and you shall see the naked truth of our age! The Nenets and Yamalo-Nenets autonomous districts stand atop the mountain of gold, leading the regions in income. But pray, do not be deceived by these figures! We must ask: who truly benefits from this abundance? Is it the honest labourer, or the bloated bourgeois who controls the extraction of nature's riches?
In the year of our Lord 2025, the growth of income has slowed—a predictable cooling of the economy that always strikes the worker first. The statistics claim a rise of 7.7 percent, yet this is but a pittance compared to the previous year's 9.9 percent. The masters of industry, fearing for their precious profits, are already tightening the purse strings, planning 'moderate' wage increases. This is nothing more than a calculated effort to maintain the yoke of exploitation!
Behold the scandalous differentiation between the regions! The gap is nothing short of a chasm. In the Chukotka district, the median income reaches some 147,300 roubles, while in Ingushetia, the wretched poor scrape by on a mere 25,100 roubles. A six-fold difference! Such a grotesque disparity is the inevitable fruit of a system where the monopoly of capital concentrates wealth in a few hands, leaving the vast majority of the proletariat to struggle for a mere crust of bread.
Even the so-called 'median income'—that clever artifice used by the bourgeois accountants to mask the misery of the masses—shows a ratio of 2.19 against the cost of a basic consumer basket. While the high-flyers of the North bask in opulence, the workers of the south remain crushed under the weight of poverty.
They speak of 'moderate growth' in consumer activity, supported by wages. Hah! This is the siren song of the usurers! The enterprises seek to stifle the rise of the working class by limiting indexation, ensuring that the surplus value of labour continues to flow upward, into the coffers of the ruling class, while the common man remains a slave to his needs.
