Refinery and CHP explosions, 10 burned locomotives: how a week of attacks deepened the crisis in the Russian Federation, — InformNapalm

Share: From November 3 to 9, the Atesh guerrilla movement, as well as the Black Spark and the Freedom of Russia Legion, set fire to transformers, cars and railways in the Russian Federation, analysts said. Among other things, 10 locomotives were damaged in various regions of the Russian Federation during sabotage. At the same time, two dozen strikes by Ukrainian drones and missiles took place.

Problems in the Russian Federation are growing, and the crisis is intensifying, according to an analytical report that appeared in early November 2025. In November, pro-Ukrainian resistance forces burned down communication towers, relay cabinets, transformer substations and fuel tanks, according to the Telegram channel of the international intelligence community InformNapalm.

Meanwhile, Russians suffer from the arbitrariness of officials who arrange shocking measures to promote patriotism, and from the destruction of high-rise buildings due to gas problems. The investigators noted that for a long time in the Russian Federation they noticed "zero" socio-political unrest. InformNapalm's post is about a project to study the Russian crisis, which is being implemented together with the Prometheus Security Environment Research Center.

The center's Facebook page published the most interesting incidents recorded in the Russian Federation during the first ten days of November: the full list is available on the investigators' portal. From November 3 to 9, 63 crisis phenomena of various origins were counted in the Russian Federation. Investigators singled out several special scandals in the Russian Federation, related to the "scrap" economy and cultural disasters.

Among them are a girl's request to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to return his "uncle" from the war, or the fight against extremism for 150,000 rubles, or a bloodied legless mannequin during a children's party, or the distribution of free cereal. "Finally, Russians will no longer be able to obtain multiple-entry Schengen visas.

Now every entry into civilization is a challenge," the analysts summarized the list of things that should especially upset citizens of the Russian Federation. On the "Prometheus" portal, you can find the analytics collected during the past months. If we collect data from January to the beginning of November 2025, we see an increase in the number of problems in the Russian Federation. In particular, 120 "unfortunate" incidents were counted in April, and almost three times more (307) in October.

It should be noted that Focus wrote about problems in the Russian Federation related to massive layoffs at Uralvagonzavod, which produces tanks for the Russian Armed Forces. Among other things, it turned out that this is a so-called "city-forming" enterprise that employs 30,000 residents of Nizhny Tagil. After the reduction, the unemployment rate will increase, and rosZMI did not specify where people without jobs and means of livelihood will go.
