Sounds like Russia's tech industry - including internet, software, etc. - is seeing sharp declines in revenue, with widespread, major layoffs.
"The economy is in s***. It seems like everyone really needed IT specialists, there was a shortage of personnel, and all that.

Drawing attention to this thread of comments of mine from a few days ago, as it goes deeper into apparent efforts from European nations to Trump-proof Ukraine, which is actually VERY important for European security.
It's nice seeing news articles pointing out Ukrainian funding & Russian appeasement isn't something Trump gets to dictate, but rather, a situation where Europe is trying to diplomatically push back against Trump to defend their legitimate security interests.
