Russia boasts a massive energy infrastructure, but a recent wave of heating system breakdowns has left many of its citizens scrambling to keep the frost outside. We are still using the communal infrastructure that was made during the Soviet era," said Svetlana Razvorotneva, a Russian lawmaker and member of the committee in charge of urban engineering. “We did not invest in modernization. Instead, we invested in maintaining all that outdated infrastructure.”
Wow, infrastructure breakdown left 20,000 without heat for a few days? That’s not news. A good storm in the northeast can knock the power system out for days here. Just more mindless propaganda trying to make you think a certain way.
Absolutely on point.
Totally not a big thing. It was Ukranazi children in Moscow. Russia just hit their own infrastructure to save all of them.
Use logic! Fucking libtard Nazis, am I right?!
And what are you going to do about it? Be upset? That sounds like a waste of your time, emotions, and intelligence.
Like I said in another response, I’m sure what happened is mostly true, but the framing is for political purposes. It’s important to be critical of the purpose of an article (to inform? Or to influence?) so you can focus your energy on the politics that you have influence over.
Are you supporting Neofascist?!
Eat dirt and choke, Nazi!
A well thought out response. You got me lol. One day I hope to live up to your intellectual standards.

Cry me a Nazi river.
No need, the Soviets made a river of natzi blood in the 40’s.
Eat trash and die Nazi.
The governor also accused the plant’s owners of being unreachable during the current crisis, pointing out that two of them lived abroad. The issue apparently drew the attention of Russian President Vladimir Putin — he ordered Vorobyov to nationalize the heating facility.
Imagine living in a different time zone and not picking up a call in the middle of the night, only to find out the next day that your government just joinked your entire plant because they messed up the heating infrastructure and needed someone else to blame.
