Russian tycoon Sterligov announces launch of a slave trading operation within Russia's borders
In an unexpected turn of events, entrepreneur German Sterligov, a conservative Orthodox Russian millionaire, has announced plans to host a slave market during his own farmer's fair on August 29-30, 2025[1]. The exact location of this event, however, remains unspecified.
The announcement has stirred controversy, particularly in light of the ongoing "кадров problem" in Russia, which pertains to labor shortages or the difficulty of finding qualified personnel. Sterligov's provocative move seems to exploit these labor market challenges, but there is no direct explanation in the available data linking the announced slave market to the кадров problem or detailing its impact on labor dynamics.
In his announcement, Sterligov used the slogan: "Russian workers for Russian employers!" [2], [4]. The nature or purpose of the work to be done in the slave market is not specified, and it is reported that the market is expected to use hired labor [3], [5].
The announcement of the slave market has raised concerns about labor practices, but further analysis would be required to fully understand the implications of this event. It's worth noting that this is not the first time Sterligov has courted controversy. Previously, he expressed fear of women and wished to "go to a nuclear war" [6]. The announcement was made on Sterligov's Telegram channel [1], [4].

In light of Russia's ongoing " кадров problem" and labor shortages, the proposed slave market during German Sterligov's farmer's fair could potentially exacerbate the issue, given his stated slogan: "Russian workers for Russian employers!". However, the nature or purpose of the work at the slave market remains unclear. Despite the market reportedly using hired labor, questions of labor practices and their wider implications for the business and finance industry persist, given Sterligov's history of controversial statements and actions.
