Here’s issue #14 of the news bulletin composed by the International Department of the CC of the RKSM(b). Preparing it, we strived to offer a perspective on the events in Russia, different from the one of mass-media. Hopefully, this will alleviate your analysis of the developments in Russia.

The bulletin can be used freely, e.g. translated and published on your media or distributed among activists and supporters. We will be glad to answer any of your questions and will appreciate your feedback at int@rksmb.org.

This issue covers:

In brief:

• The RKSM(b) hosts the 5th NATE! Festival
• 1 May Campaign of the Russian Labour Front
• Four-Day Week and Layoffs Spread Across Russian Industry
• Russia’s “White-List” Internet

In depth:

• Defence Ministry recruits students for new drone forces with money, study benefits and promises of a safer service
