This project is a philosophical and artistic study of the phenomenon of "phantom nodes" — invisible yet influential objects and subjects in the contemporary global system. The descriptions contained within this study are metaphorical and allegorical, aimed at uncovering systemic problems, regimes, and civilisational influences. They are not a journalistic investigation or legal accusations, but serve as an artistic interpretation of reality.

Mode: Industrial Cannibalism and Permanent Mobilization
🕳️ Released Phantom Node 89: MIC. Rostec and Corporations. The Arsenal of Autocracy
An integrated war machine that devours the economy to reproduce death.
Who is this?
Rostec is not merely a state corporation but a quasi-ministry of war that has absorbed thousands of enterprises and entire industries. It has transformed the economy into a closed military cycle, isolated from market logic and subordinated exclusively to the front. Here, corrupt rent is embedded in every contract, every shell, and every human life.
Type of node:
Military-economic, industrial, quasi-state
Status:
Untouchable, closed, beyond civilian oversight
Form of control:
State defense orders, mobilized economy, sanctions evasion
Phantom image:
A factory-moloch grinding civilian resources into weapons
What remains after the phantom:
A hollowed economy, technological decay, broken lives
Core of the node:
What sustained it?
Closed defense procurement, resource monopolies, total financial opacity, and parallel import networks.
How did it become a phantom?
Rostec ceased to be an economic actor and became the logic of war itself — faceless, boundless, and unaccountable.
Why does the phantom still exist?
Because war has become the regime’s sole justification, and the MIC its physical body.
Phantom’s condition:
Active, expanding, sanctions-adapted
After the regime:
– Audit of the military-industrial complex
– Dismantling of mafia-style corporations
– Exposure of contracts and supply chains
– Economic conversion from war to life
Collective reaction:
We see how the economy was turned into a weapon.
We name this machine.
We reject a world where factories matter more than people.
Core principle:
When an economy exists only for war, the state becomes a meat grinder.
Alt-text:
Graphite drawing of a giant factory-meat grinder consuming civilian goods and producing weapons. Smoke forms missile silhouettes, the “Rostec” logo appears as a skull with a gear. Workers are shown as faceless shadows chained to machines.

🫧 Phantom Node Dossier 89: MIC: Rostec and Corporations. The "Industrial Cannibalism and Eternal Mobilization" Regime.
Key Aspects of the Phantom:
"The Integrated Arsenal of Autocracy". Rostec acts as a quasi-ministry that has absorbed thousands of enterprises. The essence of this node is the creation of a "closed-loop economy" isolated from market mechanisms. It is a hybrid of the Soviet Gosplan and a modern mafia-style corporation, where corruption rent is embedded in the cost of every shell.
Regimes:
⚙️ Industrial Cannibalism Regime: Absorbing civilian sectors and forcibly converting them to military use. Future resources are burned for the regime's current survival.
🌑 Total Opacity Regime: Concealing all financial and statistical data under the guise of "state secrets" to hide inefficiencies and the scale of theft.
🛠️ Labor Serfdom Regime: Mobilizational management of human capital: banning resignations, enforcing overtime, and militarizing the workforce.
📦 Sanctions Reactor Regime: An internal system for processing and adapting smuggled components for military needs.
Tools:
🛰️ Parallel Import Networks: Complex chains of shell companies (mainly in Asia and the Middle East) for purchasing microelectronics and machinery.
🕳️ Closed State Defense Order (GOZ): Uncontrolled distribution of trillions in budget funds through "loyal" banks and contractors.
🏴☠️ Technological Piracy: Systematic reverse engineering of Western military assets and illegal use of foreign patents.
📉 Resource Monopolization: Control over strategic raw materials (titanium, rare earth metals) used as a tool for global market blackmail.
Civilizational Influences:
☣️ Export of Global Instability: Flooding "gray zones" with weapons, fueling local conflicts and terrorism.
📉 Technological Degradation: Replacing innovation with imitation, leading to the primitivization of the global industrial landscape.
🦾 "Barracks-State" Model: Promoting a vision where the economy exists solely for war, not human welfare.
🛑 Erosion of Intellectual Property: Turning technological theft into a legitimate state strategy.
