Russia boasts a massive energy infrastructure, but a recent wave of heating system breakdowns has left many of its citizens scrambling to keep the frost outside. We are still using the communal infrastructure that was made during the Soviet era," said Svetlana Razvorotneva, a Russian lawmaker and member of the committee in charge of urban engineering. “We did not invest in modernization. Instead, we invested in maintaining all that outdated infrastructure.”
Wow, infrastructure breakdown left 20,000 without heat for a few days? That’s not news. A good storm in the northeast can knock the power system out for days here. Just more mindless propaganda trying to make you think a certain way.
But they didn’t mention a storm in Moscow, that’s the thing isn’? And the outages have been at multiple places across the RF.
Here is a link fromThe Moscow Times
Also nobody knows what you are talking about when you say northeast : NE from where?
Good point. North east US.
And you are right they didn’t mention a storm, but that’s not my point. The article title clearly exacerbates the problem, and points the blame in a way that suggests the Russians are either too stupid or too poor to fix the problem. Why should any of us care about such a small thing for one? And two, what is their intention? It’s well known that NYtimes toes the state line when it comes to propaganda against American “enemies” .
Really the only thing useful from the article is:
“20,000 without heat in Russia due to infrastructure failure. Crews working to fix it.”
But then why would anyone care about that?

Lemmy.ml needs to be defederated…
Stop leaking your trash ccp/ussr crap everywhere.
It’s really just Lemmygrad in disguise.
Occasionally. Sometimes it seems like a free-for-all over there too, though.
Yep, I was banned from world news overe there because there was a pro CCP article about how China isn’t about taking land…said one thing about the Philippines and Taiwan being two places they want…mod banned me after someone called me a white supremacist… I’m not even white lol
Lol. I wasn’t showing any support for anyone, just pointing out the clear goal of the article, and especially it’s headline. It’s important to check sources, especially when there is a news article pertaining to your geo-political enemies.
Absolutely on point.
Totally not a big thing. It was Ukranazi children in Moscow. Russia just hit their own infrastructure to save all of them.
Use logic! Fucking libtard Nazis, am I right?!
And what are you going to do about it? Be upset? That sounds like a waste of your time, emotions, and intelligence.
Like I said in another response, I’m sure what happened is mostly true, but the framing is for political purposes. It’s important to be critical of the purpose of an article (to inform? Or to influence?) so you can focus your energy on the politics that you have influence over.
Are you supporting Neofascist?!
Eat dirt and choke, Nazi!
A well thought out response. You got me lol. One day I hope to live up to your intellectual standards.
/s
Cry me a Nazi river.
No need, the Soviets made a river of natzi blood in the 40’s.
Eat trash and die Nazi.
