russian billionaire oleg deripaska has proposed that citizens adopt a 12-hour, six-day work week to accelerate the country’s economic transformation, The moscow Times reported on March 30, 2026.
Writing on his social media channels, the industrial tycoon argued that russia’s resources are limited and that the only way to navigate the current global crisis is through a radical increase in labour.

Katia Diachenko was eleven. A young gymnast from Mariupol, killed by russia’s invasion. Her name appeared on a tribute helmet worn by Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych. For that helmet, he was disqualified — deemed a “political demonstration” under IOC rules.
When remembering a murdered child becomes sanctionable, neutrality stops being balance and starts looking like moral failure.
