promising mountains of gold and a bright future.

🔹 The event was organized by #Pelina_Gorata_Pinayemang, a youth activist and representative of #Alabuga_Start in the southern #African country.

As #Bloomberg notes, she is part of a growing army of people behind an aggressive international recruiting campaign for #Russians.

“Since its launch in 2022, #Alabuga_Start has attracted about 350 women to #Tatarstan. This year, their goal is to increase that number by another 8,500,” the agency writes

No protests by the governments of countries whose citizens have been enslaved by #Putin's military-industrial complex have been reported.

#Alabuga_Start participants are mainly employed to assemble UAV fuselages, which do not require extensive training and high qualifications.

◾️ In interviews with the Associated Press, some women complained of long hours of work under constant surveillance, false promises about training and wages, and caustic chemicals that caused skin pockmarks and severe itching.

◾️ As #Voice_of_America has learned, several #African and other governments have shown willingness to cooperate. For example, #Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Education posted an advertisement for the #Alabuga_Start program.

Investigative journalists found similar documents from the governments of #Uganda, #Mali, and #Burkina_Faso. The #Bangladesh Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training announced that it was accepting applications for the program.

For example, the #Nigerian Ministry of Education has an announcement on its website about the #Alabuga_Start program. Similar announcements are posted on the government websites of #Uganda, #Mali, and #Burkina_Faso, as well as in #Asian Bangladesh.

▪️ It all started with #Russian students

#Alabuga's management, according to a number of investigations, even had to lobby for changes to labour laws. This allowed them to hire children under the age of 18 to work with toxic chemicals.
