Putin’s “Great Power” is literally overflowing with sewage | Break the Fake
As Russian strategic bombers continue to launch strikes against Ukraine, the city of Engels — home to one of Russia’s most important air bases — is facing a crisis of its own. Following heavy flooding and infrastructure failures, local authorities declared a state of emergency when the city’s sewer system reportedly collapsed, affecting hundreds of thousands of residents. Meanwhile, cities like Omsk are pouring resources into military production while struggling with deteriorating roads, public services, and basic infrastructure. In a new episode of Break the Fake, Jonasz Rewiński takes a look at the situations in Engels and Omsk and the state of Russian infrastructure in general. He also explains why more Russians are beginning to question where the country’s resources are really going.
