Another slice of reality

This is not cold statistics. This is information I get directly from people.
In Russia factories are closing, production is down and people are losing jobs. In Mozdok the fabric factory that had 3,500 employees 5 years ago now has only 350. And they are about to fire more people. There are 48 universities and 519 higher education institutions in Russia. There is no point, however, for young people in the provinces to go for higher eduction as there in no chance for them to find employment that will fit their qualification in the regions. The only place with work places is Moscow and they are all taken. Young lawyers are painting walls. It is a dire situation the government channels never cover. They stick to empty words, and these days use more and more of the Soviet rhetoric.
