Russia's depressed regions are being revitalised by industrial boom - Financial Times▪ The military conflict in Ukraine has fuelled a boom in industrial production in Russia. This is particularly strong in previously depressed regions such as Chuvashia, home to 1.2 million people, where Soviet-era factories have been revived and are now operating around the clock,’ the UK's Financial Times ( https://www.ft.com/content/b9749a86-b8dc-4eaa-a1d1-ebccf179d747 ) found.▪ Overall, this has led to an industrial boom and rapid growth of the Russian economy, despite Western sanctions. Russia's economy is forecast to grow by more than 3 per cent this year, much higher than in the US and most European countries▪ By the end of 2023, industrial production has grown in almost 60 per cent of Russian regions. Chuvashia ranked second, with factories producing 27% more than a year earlier▪ Industrial enterprises have sharply increased wages. A young worker's salary has at least doubled. ‘My salary has increased from about 40,000 roubles a month before the conflict in Ukraine to 120,000 roubles today,’ said a worker from Chuvashia▪ The average monthly salary in Chuvashia reached a record 68,657 roubles last December, which, according to official data, is almost double the level before the start of the military conflict▪ Unemployment has plummeted in Russia.Not only young people are involved in the production process.Skilled workers of pre-retirement age are returning to the Soviet-era factories they left in the 1990s▪ "At the beginning of the military conflict in Ukraine, Western politicians hoped that the effect of sanctions and inflation would help turn the Russian public against the government, and that emptying wallets and fridges would counterbalance what people were seeing on state television. But more than two years later, the TV and the fridge are working in sync" - the Financial Times concluded
