The post contains video from the situation.
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.
I have some doubt. Ive seen similar reports before and still chugging along. This is just like the "China's economy is crashing! " headlines
They're definitely going to run out of money eventually, and this isn't a highly disciplined and ideological place where they can push through desperate measures to keep going. There's been efforts towards becoming that that during the war, but Russia has been doing the controlled chaos mafia state thing for quite a while, and I doubt it will be enough.
But yes, OP seems pretty anecdotal and I'm not going to put too much weight on it.
"Trump going to jail!"
I mean an economy never really "crashes" completely. People will always be trading goods for services. So this will always depend on your definition of crashing. But when services like electricity, food, and heat are being denied to more and more people, it's a sign that things are falling apart.
