RUSSIAN: yмрн до пенсии товаришщ…! — Umri do

RUSSIAN:
Метинги

NOTE: These
various slogans date from the summer & fall 2018 protests against Putin’s
raising the age for retirement & pension eligibility, which he did after
years & years & years of resisting the IMF’s suggestions on this. The
proposal was for to raise the retirement age for women from 55 to 63, & for
men from 60 to 65. The average life span for women is 77, & for men 66…but
as low as 62 or 58 in outlying regions of the Russian Federation. Essentially
men stand a good chance of never seeing their pension, or at best getting it
for a year.. . These were organized by the Labor Federation of Russia, &
various anarchist & socialist grps, as well as monarchist/nationalists,
libertarians, & the KPRF (the Russian Federation Communist Party. These
various groups seldomly protested together, & tended to hold competing
demonstrations. There were few arrests in Moscow, where the demonstrations were
larger, but hundreds, even thousands, of arrests in St. Petersberg &
smaller cities & towns. Despite the fact that 89% of the country hated
this, it was passed by the Duma on 27 Sept, 2018…
‡) “Die
before you’re due for yr pension, comrade…!”
‡‡) “Meeting” — any officially-permitted
& sanctioned rally or protest;

& a great big go fuck-yourselves to the arseholes at google who are trying
to ruin everything that they buy out.
