You can demand extra money if extra work is being demanded of you, but showing up to do your job is not extra work.

The best way to understand point of working from home is to start calculating your pay per hours and include commuting in that calculation. I.e. if you get paid $100 for 8 hours (standard workday) and commute is 2 hours, then you earn $10 and hour.

Unfortunately, no. They have (recently DDoSed) their knockoff version called rutube, but most of propaganda is shared on TikTok, Telegram and their Facebook knockoff vkontakte. Revolution lead by people is impossible in russia. There is however slight possibility of coup from within the government.

Rouble collapses? Yes. They keep it up artificially because it's not convertible in majority of countries. So, they might as well set the exchange rate to 1:1 with $
Europe pays for gas in roubles? No. There is a nasty scheme with Gazprombank that allows russia to replenish it's currency reserves, but EU countries still pay in Euros according to agreements.
Cut off most of Ukraine from Black sea? No. Say hello to Snake Island :D

Well, you see, the problem is that I was born in USSR and lived there at the time. I can assure you that I didn't suffer from malnutrition or starvation.
And how is your previous statement of russia being most invaded nation in history related to misplaced irony of Poland suddenly taking that crown?
russia always needed external enemy and some sort of war to keep control over it's population. Unfortunately, veterans of WWII are dying out and it is getting harder to fool population with fake ones. That's why they started new war and had banners with 1945 - 2022 on this years victory day circus.

DailyMail vs CNN? That's some tough choice. :D
I would really like to see russia turning their failure and incompetence into "Pearl Harbor" moment and attacking anything outside Ukrainian borders. They even managed to burn down their Aerospace Defense Research Institute. Probably to hide their "first in the World" technological advancements.
As for "russia succeeding". Just LOL
