As someone from the Soviet Union: few in the West realize just how much "the government will take care of everything" mentality is ingrained in the Soviet psyche, especially in Russia outside of the two big cities. Long past the collapse, parents still recommended their kids to have careers with poor pay and prospects, but with government benefits like housing, i.e. work 20 years and get a free tiny apartment. The video is totally right that it was the most fundamental social contract, and large parts of it remain to this day. Maxim Katz made a video recently about Peskov where he talks about it briefly but clearly (there are English subtitles).

If contributions stay the same, the pensions will have to go down, so expect poverty among the elderly population, which an opportunistic politician will take advantage of, with unpredictable results. The government may even resort to simply printing money to pay the pensions, in which case expect inflation to damage the purchasing power of Italians, and thus the entire Italian economy.

I suspect Putin is aware of this calculation. 1) Fewer pensioners for the future, but more importantly 2) if they win, a large expansion of oil and gas wealth that could bolster those pension funds. People often presume power is it's own end, but it is a snare. Without control of economics (the ability to move goods and services), power is empty. Always follow the money.

It leads to less future contributers initially because military age is relatively young and indirectly will reduce the birth rates even further; not to mention the hundreds of thousands of skilled workers whom overcontrabute to pensions that fled from mobilisation. Secondly, how does winning the war lead to a massive increase in oil & gas revenue when it directly resulted in embargoes and an oil cap that plunged oil revenues down by 50% between Jan & Feb 2023 when compared to Jan & Feb 2022?

Here, the average pensioner earns more than the average worker, is the owner of at least one house, and has a lot of free stuff such as transportation. But it seems that it’s never enough, so Spanish workers are being charged more and more each year to sustain the ponzi scheme.

According to senior aides, 2011 (Libya) was what changed him so fundamentally. At the start of his career (think 2001 speeach at the Bundestag) he genuinely wanted Russia to be folded into the Western system, as a key partner. What he got instead was a continuation of pushing for neoliberal policies by the West (which destroyed Russian society in the 1990s under Yeltsin), and rank hypocrisy in foreign policy. Other countries can't do anything without our okay, but Iraq needs to be invaded! That sort of thing. Libya was especially horrifying for him. It was in the process of developing nuclear arms, and the US didn't want that. They made an informal deal with Gaddafi that, if he suspended the program, the US would look the other way regarding his 'lack of ddmocracy', and ostensibly allow the country to continue under him. He disarmed in 2003. 8 years later, they funded rebel groups and had him killed in the streets. Putin reportedly watched that video on repeat over and over, obsessively. He saw himself in that video. A nuclear armed state being given non-binding agreements by the US, only to be backstabbed and exploited later. Case in point, look at Libya now. He definitely also saw it happen surrounding NATO expansion in the 1990s. So from that point on, his perceived role as leader of Russia was to chiefly to develop Russia, but to act as a counter to the West.

Demographics are multiplied 10 fold vs Russia. Also there is more government and societal narrative/expectation for families to be self sufficient (young takes care of old and rely less on outside help). While Russia seems more stuck with seniors reliant on government pensions, China is more active in reshaping societal narratives to perhaps relieve that demand. In the hay days of the One Child Policy, it was common to see encouragements like “One Child is enough, let the government take care of seniors” “只生一个好，政府来养老”. Then in the decades since, you’d see more emphasis of “children must take care of seniors, it is shameful to throw your seniors at the government” “子女要尽孝，甩给政府管，真是脸不要”. Also should consider the governmental structure where: a sweeping order or general direction given by the central government, then it’s up to the local government to interpret and implement policies as to satisfy the end goals of said orders. You get wide discrepancies within the country, where you can find hundreds of millions of people with success stories of the said central government order, while there are easily just as many people living under bizarre circumstances or flat out dissatisfied as a result of the same central government order.

I remember hearing about Russian seniors having it rough in an elementary social studies class (we had these worksheets that had a news story put into grade 4-5 reading level from somewhere in the world, and would ask questions we had to answer). Obviously being aimed at kids, they didn't go into a lot of detail or the situation around it, so it's nice to see the history and where some of those issues were coming from, and how those choices impacted people, and continue to do so.

In Norway, each state budget has generation budget as well, to make clear what burden we give our children and grand children. As a result, we (the people) early on started discussion on the work force / pensioner ratio. We ended up raising the pension age , with no change for people soon to be retired, small change for people retiring in 5 years, and full effect on the rest of the population. We try to keep number of living years after retirement age constant. That means longer life expectancy gives higher retirement age. By raising the retirement age early, we dont need that much changevto get the balance. And last: we tax and save today - so the total burden of tomorrow on each working person may be the same. These policies are only possibly then people really understand the challenges of the future and dont support easy, populist solutions.
