Glory to Ukraine

Oh my, now he’s complaining under a pseudonym too.

Well, it was probably close with Sweden/Finland back then. I am surprised that Russia did not occupy the Finnish half of the realm. The Emperor had given orders for an area 100km east of Finland’s west coast to be cleared of people, to protect against the Swedes.

The Russians, with their Cossacks, proceeded thoroughly, and many householders were hanged in the rafters and many peasant women were dragged through the bake oven to make them reveal where they had hidden any valuables.

My hometown on the west coast was completely emptied during the great unrest, the inhabitants fled to the Swedish side. Churches and rectories were burned, so those who do genealogical research cannot trace back further than around 1715-20.

When they returned from their exile in the 1720s, many villages were burned, or others had moved in. 

Russia now does not differ significantly from Russia back then, but Sweden learned the hard way that War does not pay off. Apparently, Russia has not lost enough yet for them to learn.

“The number of Swedes living in poverty has skyrocketed from 150,000 to 408,000 since 2021, according to the way Statistics Sweden measures it. When it comes to the explanation, opinions differ.

Tapio Salonen, professor of social work at Malmö University, argues that it is due to, for example, housing benefits and unemployment benefits not being raised in line with the general increase in prices.

On the other hand, Timbro’s chief economist Fredrik Kopsch argues that inflation in itself is the whole explanation.

According to the survey, poverty is defined as not being able to afford a certain standard of living, which is defined based on a list of specific cost items.”

“Moscow airports have gone on a forced siesta, taking shelter under the “Carpet”: a large delegation of friendly drones plans to visit the capital of the terrorist country. Run Ivan, run.”
