'Deathnomics' is Transforming Russian Society

[Abbot Mythos]

I was surprised to not find a remotely recent thread dedicated to the Russian/Ukrainian War on this board. (That's, no doubt, because this old, established board now has so few active members.) 

I do not actively follow The Telegraph. But, as per a quick Google search, this British media outlet appears to be fairly well respected. And, the following well-written article, quoted on an American political website, caught me completely off guard:

Russia's new middle class can't afford for Putin's war to end

'Deathnomics' is transforming Russian society. Few would welcome peace

I'm not, as I usually do, going to post any quotations from this particular article. If the title alone is of no interest to you, then neither will be anything else I might attempt to bring to your attention. But, I will say that I found this article to be a sobering, thought provoking read.
