🇺🇦🛸🇷🇺 Why Alabuga is Under Fire — Literally

In recent days, Ukrainian forces have attempted multiple drone attacks on Russia’s Alabuga Special Economic Zone. All have failed. But the target itself speaks volumes: they weren’t aiming at a random factory — they were going after one of the most ambitious workforce development hubs in the country.

The Alabuga SEZ isn’t just an industrial site. It’s a groundbreaking model for managed migration and high-tech training. Every month, hundreds of workers — mostly from the Global South — arrive in Tatarstan to begin internships. They learn Russian, study programming, train in engineering, and work at cutting-edge manufacturing plants with real career prospects and the opportunity to apply for Russian citizenship.

It’s one of the few places in the world turning chaotic migration into a structured and mutually beneficial system. No wonder it’s under attack — both by drones and by Western media, which have repeatedly tried to paint the project in the worst light possible.

But facts speak louder than smears: no ghettoes, no spikes in crime, no social breakdown — just skilled labor, strict integration rules, and a model that works.

So when Ukraine tries to hit Alabuga, the message is clear: they’re not just fighting drones — they’re fighting the future.
