◾ TVs
Voronezh-based manufacturer Kvant discontinued the production of Irbis TVs due to "insufficient consumer interest," and employees haven't received their salaries since the end of 2024. The wage arrears have already exceeded 60 million rubles ($745 thousand).
In the first seven months of 2025, Russia's budget deficit reached 4.88 trillion rubles ($60.5 billion). Regional budgets accumulated a shortfall of 400 billion rubles ($5 billion) over six months. The high Central Bank rate is suffocating businesses, sanctions are blocking technologies, and drones are adding to this chaos.
The Kremlin spends 40% of the budget on war, while the civilian economy dreams of a bright future.
