As I've been posting many times before, many workers in Russia are behind on payments. People working in factories being 3 months behind is not uncommon.
Anna from Ukraine explains the situation here. She is a good source IMO, because her English is excellent, and being Ukrainian she understands Russian, and makes frequent news updates about the Ukrainian war from various perspectives.

Inside Russia on youtube was first to report on the Russian population beginning to have had enough to a degree they are actually beginning to complain:

I've claimed before I don't think Putin will last through the winter, and I see this as the first signs that the Russian people is about to have had enough.
The story reported by Anna and Gerashchenko tells that the workers are at least 2 months behind on wages, they were promised transportation to work, something that is important because of the lack of fuel, and public transport becoming unreliable. But they do not get the promised transportation. They were also promised 1 hot meal per day, but do not receive that either.
Finally in their homes, they are out of water and heat.

This is the economic and infrastructure collapse many have predicted was inevitable, that is now beginning to really show. And it isn't even really winter yet!

PS: The moderators removed my previous post with false accusations, so here it is posted again according to their demands.

There were people writing "the Russia's economy will collapse very soon", but there were already in 2023 also many who corrected that, saying that "no, it will not happen that soon. It will happen around the end of 2025 or beginning of 2026". Currently it looks like the Economy will survive until around mid to end of 2026, but that's only 6 months of error in a forecast made almost three years in advance.

For example the system where private banks in the Russia have been forced to give the so called "preferential loans" to weapons manufacturers had not been taken into account when calculating how much money the Russia has available.
