That’s good, right?

I am sure, russian pensioners are delighted.

No doubt, victims just like we will be should this madness continue.

The electronic budget system shows a 6.17 trillion ruble deficit as of 28 August 2025

This may be a small thing... but the format of the date on the electronic buget page keeps swiching between European format (dd/mm/yyyy) and American format (mm/dd/yyyy). Someone types in the entire update, including the date, entirely by hand? The "Electronic System" is a couple of guys typing?

That is very odd. If you put it in manually to make such a mistake, probably 2 people or more people doing it. One American.... Scott Ritter or Stefan Seagal?

I have seen multiple updates (corrections?) on the same day so I think you're correct

Seems to be creeping up again.

I think that's an artifact of the automated translation software used by Prune. The few times a screenshot of the original, untranslated page was posted, the time format was consistently European. See also the use of a comma as decimal separator, instead of a period.

They're probably doing it cro-magnon way. Export excel to html table, but they keep forgetting to set the date format right, depending on what target language for the output.

It's just a bit of a blast from the past to see something reported to be a professional site which is really just a bunch of guys filling out fields without regard to format. If they can't keep the date straight, what are the odds of the rest of it being accurate?

well if the format switches, it is prrof it is not database, programmatically-driven. So yeah, lots human intervention == error prone. all the way up the chain. rascist flimsy.

The original site is in russian and Prune is probably using some automatic tool like google translate to translate the site, which can change date formats a bit randomly from case to case.

@prune602.bsky.social ☝️?

Yes, I use auto translate software. So that’s probably the difference. That’s why I make sure I write out the dates in the post.

Odd that it would switch the date format...🤷‍♂️

I mean, inconsistently switch the date format.

Income +35.1, expenses +120.3, deficit +85.2.

Any major tax revenue coming in at the end of this month, or are we expecting more towards the end of Q3?

I don’t think it’s anything unusual for the end of this month. There was probably already a boost from dividend payments. 🤔 considering the tax deferments they’ve been giving tax payments might even be a little light. We’ll just have to wait and see.

It’s ok, they’re swimming in tax revenue. I’m sure everything will be fine.

Ist noch nicht genug! Hoffentlich nicht "to big to fail"! Lasst das Verbrecherland ganz sanft untergehen, so dass es jede Sekunde spüren und geniessen kann! Ogi, alt BR, würde sagen: Freude herrscht! Ich auch, schliesse mich dem an. 🥊💩💩💣✌️🇨🇭

We can expect revenue to go backwards in the next few days

It looks like this might be the last update for the month, so the revenue might actually go up in this vast due to tax revenues. It does look like this jump may be a result of dividend payments.

But don't forget they have a habit of overannouncing revenue and adjusting back aftet

Income +54.8, expenses +92.6, deficit +37.8.

Guess we're not making the 7 trillion rubles threshold this month, booo!!!

Well, there goes my wild speculation...

More important if they go above 10 at the end of the year
