Russia reportedly considering mandatory 6-day workweek
The Russian media machine has moved beyond punishing those who criticize the country's "special military operation" in Ukraine and is now rallying Russians to make sacrifices for the war effort, the British Defense Ministry says in it's latest assessment of the war. State-backed media and business groups have petitioned Russia's Economic Ministry to authorize a six-day week to combat economic demands of the war, apparently without additional pay, the assessment says. Last week, Russian media darling Margarita Simonyan, a fierce supporter of the war, suggested that Russians should work for two extra hours in munitions factories each day after their regular jobs."The evolving tone of the conversations clearly echoes a Soviet-style sense of societal compulsion," according to the assessment. "It also highlights how the leadership highly likely identifies economic performance as a decisive factor in winning the war."
