Oct. 26, 2025, Published 11:00 a.m. ET

Nicole Kidman is planning to take on even more sexually charged film roles following her split from husband Keith Urban – a decision insiders tell RadarOnline.com is both a creative statement and an act of revenge.

The 58-year-old Oscar-winning actor was left “blindsided” last month by her split from Urban, 57, who then filed for divorce after nearly two decades of marriage. Sources close to the couple say the final straw came after Kidman’s provocative turn in Babygirl – a 2023 erotic drama in which she starred opposite 29-year-old Harris Dickinson.

A Role That Rocked Her Marriage

During the film’s press tour, Kidman made headlines for her candor about the intensity of its sex scenes. “There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm anymore. Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life! I’m over it,'” she told journalists at the time.

While the film earned critical praise for Kidman’s performance, it reportedly caused tension at home. Urban, who was notably absent from the film’s premieres, was said to be deeply uncomfortable with his wife’s increasingly explicit on-screen choices.

Embracing Creative Freedom After the Split

Following the breakdown of the marriage, industry insiders say Kidman is “more determined than ever” to continue exploring roles that push boundaries. She is already eyeing new projects that could once again test audiences and collaborators alike.

A source close to the actor said: “Nicole’s not backing down or toning things down because Keith’s no longer in the picture. If anything, she’s pushing further. She’s spent years explaining that her performances are just part of the job – now she’s finished justifying herself. This chapter is about complete creative and personal freedom.”

Freedom After Heartbreak

Friends of the star say the breakup has brought a renewed sense of freedom. One long-time acquaintance shared, “For years, she tried to balance her ambition with her marriage. Now that pressure’s gone. There’s a touch of defiance in her attitude – she knows her choices might irritate him, but that sense of freedom is empowering.”

Sources reveal Kidman had grown “exhausted” trying to manage Urban’s unease about her more sensual performances. Another insider noted, “Keith never told her outright not to take certain roles, but she always knew when something bothered him. That unspoken tension became part of their dynamic. Now she’s turning that energy into her work instead of trying to smooth things over.”

Turning Pain Into Power

That determination is expected to shape her upcoming projects. Kidman recently wrapped filming Practical Magic 2 and is working with Reese Witherspoon on the third season of Big Little Lies, where her character’s story may take a more openly sexual turn.

A production source said: “Nicole’s work has always been rooted in authenticity – emotional, physical and even erotic. She’s not about to soften that just because her marriage is over. If anything, she feels she’s entering her strongest, most self-assured phase yet.”

Rewriting Hollywood’s Rules

The actress, who has previously spoken about her commitment to working with female directors, is also said to see her new focus as part of a broader creative mission. A friend said, “Nicole’s using this moment to remind Hollywood that women in their 50s can still lead stories that are complex, sensual, and commanding. She’s rewriting the rules – and clearly enjoying every second of it.”

Kidman, who shares two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, with Urban, was recently photographed in Paris appearing calm but resolute. Another source added: “She’s pouring her energy into her work and her daughters. There’s no sign of her slowing down – and no more apologies for who she is or what she does on or off screen.”

SUNRISE & MIAMI, Fla.

Hundreds of South Floridians came together Saturday morning for the annual Channel 7 Foundation and the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. The event took place at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise and LoanDepot Park in Miami, celebrating hope and unity while raising funds for breast cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers.

“We are focused on turning awareness into action,” organizers said. “It could be as simple as calling your sister or your mom and saying, ‘Get a mammogram.’”

New blood test can predict risk of postpartum depression with more than 80% accuracy

Posted on by
Reply

Like many first-time mothers, Lisette Lopez-Rose thought childbirth would usher in a time of joy. Instead, she experienced panic attacks as she imagined something bad happening to her baby, coupled with a heavy sadness that wouldn’t lift. The San Francisco Bay Area mother recognized that her extreme emotions weren’t normal, but she was afraid to tell her obstetrician. What if they took her baby away?

At about six months postpartum, Lopez-Rose discovered an online network of women with similar experiences and ultimately opened up to her primary care doctor. “About two months after I started medication, I started to feel like I was coming out of a deep hole and seeing light again,” she says.

Today, Lopez-Rose works at Postpartum Support International, coordinating volunteers to help new mothers form online connections.

### Understanding Postpartum Depression

About one in eight U.S. women go through a period of postpartum depression (PPD), making it one of the most common complications of childbirth. It typically occurs in the first few weeks after delivery, coinciding with a sudden drop in the reproductive hormones estrogen and progesterone.

As scientists unravel the chemical and genetic changes caused by these shifting hormones, they are discovering new ways to diagnose and treat postpartum depression — and even ways to identify who is at risk.

—

### A New Era in Postpartum Depression Diagnosis and Treatment

The first-ever drug specifically for postpartum depression, containing a derivative of progesterone, received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 2019. This marked a new approach to treating the disorder.

This winter, in another major advance, a San Diego–based startup will launch a blood test called myLuma that predicts a pregnant woman’s risk of postpartum depression with more than 80 percent accuracy. This product will be the first commercially available test to use biomarkers in the blood to predict the onset of a psychiatric disorder, much like blood tests that detect signs of diseases such as cancer and diabetes.

Pregnant women who learn they are at risk for postpartum depression could take preventive steps, such as starting antidepressants after childbirth or arranging for extra support.

Jennifer Payne, a reproductive psychiatrist at the University of Virginia and a lead investigator on the studies behind myLuma, says, “If we have a blood test, it brings psychiatry down to the level of biology, which I think your average person can understand as something that needs treatment and isn’t just in somebody’s head.”

—

### The Unpredictable Effects of Hormones

In 2001, Payne became intrigued by postpartum depression as a window into the onset of mood disorders. This raised a key question: Why does the sudden drop in hormones after childbirth significantly affect some women but not others?

While transient feelings of anxiety and sadness are common within days of giving birth, only some women develop a deeper, more persistent depression.

Payne teamed up with Zachary Kaminsky, an epigeneticist then at Johns Hopkins University, who studied how estrogen affects mouse brains. Epigenetics involves small chemical groups called methyl groups attaching to genes, affecting how active these genes are. Environmental factors like pollution and nutrition can influence this reversible methylation.

By comparing female mice given high estrogen levels to those without, Kaminsky found estrogen caused specific gene methylation patterns in the hippocampus—a brain region involved in mood control.

These findings guided analyses of blood samples Payne collected from 51 women with histories of mood disorders, tracked throughout pregnancy and afterward. Two estrogen-sensitive genes — HP1BP3 and TTC9B — emerged as significant. Over 80 percent of women who developed postpartum depression showed greater methylation on one gene and less on the other.

Moreover, these gene changes were detectable throughout pregnancy, meaning “you can predict which women will develop postpartum depression,” Kaminsky says.

—

### Validating the Biomarkers

Kaminsky, Payne, and collaborators replicated the findings in further studies. A 2016 Neuropharmacology paper reported that methylation patterns of these genes correctly predicted over 80 percent of postpartum depression cases in 240 pregnant women without psychiatric histories.

Another 2020 study published in Psychiatry Research, involving scientists from Johns Hopkins, Emory University, and the University of California, Irvine, confirmed these results in 285 pregnant women.

This epigenetic research forms the basis of the myLuma test, which also incorporates additional biomarkers to improve accuracy, according to Kaminsky.

Beginning January 2026, myLuma is expected to be available in some doctors’ offices in Florida, Texas, and California. Although not yet FDA-approved, doctors may use such lab tests to assist clinical decisions.

—

### Exploring Other Hormonal Factors: Neuroactive Steroids

Not all postpartum depression cases involve these epigenetic changes. Researchers continue to explore other biomarkers, focusing on neuroactive steroids — molecules produced from progesterone in the brain and other tissues.

One key neuroactive steroid, allopregnanolone, has calming effects by affecting a brain receptor called GABA-A, known for stress reduction. Allopregnanolone levels rise during pregnancy and drop sharply after delivery.

Other related steroids include pregnanolone, which has similar effects, and isoallopregnanolone, which reduces the antidepressant effect of allopregnanolone, increasing stress.

A 2025 study in Neuropsychopharmacology on 136 pregnant women found that an imbalance of pregnanolone and isoallopregnanolone during pregnancy increased the likelihood of developing postpartum depression.

Measuring these chemicals’ ratios in blood could provide another way to predict postpartum depression, says reproductive psychiatrist Lauren M. Osborne of Weill Cornell Medicine.

—

### Advances in Treatment: Synthetic Neuroactive Steroids

Allopregnanolone has also proven valuable in treating postpartum depression. A synthetic form, brexanolone, developed by Sage Therapeutics, was FDA-approved in 2019, becoming the first drug specifically for postpartum depression.

These “transformative therapies” work rapidly, according to a 2025 Annual Review of Medicine article.

Women at high risk might benefit from preventive use of zuranolone, another drug under study, though this has not yet been tested, notes Samantha Meltzer-Brody, a reproductive psychiatrist at the University of North Carolina.

The availability of blood tests like myLuma “opens up that entire line of questioning on how do you get ahead of it, so you don’t have to wait until someone starts suffering,” she adds.

—

### Additional Biomarker Research

In a 2022 Molecular Psychiatry article, neuroscientist Sarven Sabunciyan and colleagues described a study showing that RNA types carried in blood differ in women who develop postpartum depression. Specifically, RNA related to autophagy — the cellular cleanup process — decreased. Autophagy has links to other psychiatric disorders.

Clinical psychologist Eynav Accortt from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center found altered protein patterns in plasma samples from women with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including postpartum depression. These proteins are involved in neuron function and inflammation, which is known to contribute to depression.

—

### Moving Towards FDA Approval

Payne is leading a large clinical trial to provide more detailed data on myLuma, particularly regarding false positives (women identified as at risk who don’t develop postpartum depression) and false negatives (women who develop postpartum depression but weren’t identified).

This step is essential for FDA approval, which would eventually allow the test to be offered directly to pregnant women.

—

### Looking Back: A Mother’s Perspective

Lopez-Rose recalls the fear she felt in the months after her daughter’s birth. In those dark times, she quit her job, barely slept, and was overwhelmed by negative thoughts and self-doubt.

Now, she understands that reaching out for help was a sign of strength and a good mother.

Today, her daughter is four and thriving, as is Lopez-Rose. She says a blood test would have warned her what to watch for, “instead of it being so shocking when I was going through my depression.”

Does the full moon make us sleepless? A neurologist explains the science behind sleep, mood and lunar myths

Posted on by
Reply

Have you ever tossed and turned under a full moon and wondered if its glow was keeping you awake? For generations, people have believed that the Moon has the power to stir up sleepless nights and strange behavior—even madness itself. The word “lunacy” comes directly from *luna*, Latin for Moon.

Police officers, hospital staff, and emergency workers often swear that their nights get busier under a full moon. But does science back that up? The answer is, of course, more nuanced than folklore suggests.

—

### What the Full Moon Really Does to Sleep

Several studies show that people really do sleep differently in the days leading up to the full moon, when moonlight shines brightest in the evening sky. During this period, people sleep about 20 minutes less, take longer to fall asleep, and spend less time in deep, restorative sleep.

Large population studies confirm this pattern, finding that people across different cultures tend to go to bed later and sleep for shorter periods in the nights before a full moon.

The most likely reason? Light. A bright moon in the evening can delay the body’s internal clock, reduce melatonin—the hormone that signals bedtime—and keep the brain more alert.

The changes are modest. Most people lose only 15 to 30 minutes of sleep, but the effect is measurable. It is strongest in places without artificial light, such as rural areas or while camping.

Some research also suggests that men and women may be affected differently. For instance, men seem to lose more sleep during the waxing phase, while women experience slightly less deep and restful sleep around the full moon.

—

### The Link with Mental Health

For centuries, people have blamed the full moon for stirring up madness. Folklore suggested that its glow could spark mania in bipolar disorder, provoke seizures in people with epilepsy, or trigger psychosis in those with schizophrenia.

The theory was simple: lose sleep under a bright moon and vulnerable minds might unravel.

Modern science adds an important twist. Research is clear that sleep loss itself is a powerful driver of mental health problems. Even one rough night can heighten anxiety and drag down mood. Ongoing sleep disruption raises the risk of depression, suicidal thoughts, and flare-ups of conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

That means even the modest sleep loss seen around a full moon could matter more for people who are already at risk. Someone with bipolar disorder, for example, may be far more sensitive to shortened or fragmented sleep than the average person.

But here’s the catch: when researchers step back and look at large groups of people, the evidence that lunar phases trigger psychiatric crises is weak. No reliable pattern has been found between the Moon and hospital admissions, discharges, or lengths of stay.

A few studies suggest there may be small effects. In India, psychiatric hospitals recorded more use of restraints during full moons, based on data collected between 2016 and 2017. In China, researchers noted a slight rise in schizophrenia admissions around the full moon, using hospital records from 2012 to 2017.

Still, these findings are not consistent worldwide and may reflect cultural factors or local hospital practices as much as biology.

—

### Other Theories Fall Short

Over the years, scientists have explored other explanations for supposed lunar effects—from gravitational “tidal” pulls on the body to subtle geomagnetic changes and shifts in barometric pressure.

Yet, none of these mechanisms hold up under scrutiny. The gravitational forces that move oceans are far too weak to affect human physiology, and studies of geomagnetic and atmospheric changes during lunar phases have yielded inconsistent or negligible results.

This makes sleep disruption from nighttime light exposure the most plausible link between the Moon and human behavior.

—

### Why the Myth Lingers

If the science is so inconclusive, why do so many people believe in the “full moon effect”?

Psychologists point to a concept called *illusory correlation*. We notice and remember the unusual nights that coincide with a full moon but forget the many nights when nothing happened.

The Moon is also highly visible. Unlike hidden sleep disruptors such as stress, caffeine, or scrolling on a phone, the Moon is right there in the sky—easy to blame.

—

### Lessons from the Moon for Modern Sleep

Even if the Moon does not drive us “mad,” its small influence on sleep highlights something important: light at night matters.

Our bodies are designed to follow the natural cycle of light and dark. Extra light in the evening—whether from moonlight, streetlights, or phone screens—can delay circadian rhythms, reduce melatonin, and lead to lighter, more fragmented sleep.

This same biology helps explain the health risks of daylight saving time. When clocks “spring forward,” evenings stay artificially brighter. That shift delays sleep and disrupts circadian timing on a much larger scale than the Moon, contributing to increased accidents and cardiovascular risks, as well as reduced workplace safety.

In our modern world, artificial light has a much bigger impact on sleep than the Moon ever will. That is why many sleep experts argue for permanent standard time, which better matches our biological rhythms.

—

### Conclusion

So if you find yourself restless on a full moon night, you may not be imagining things—the Moon can tug at your sleep. But if sleeplessness happens often, look closer to home.

It is likely a culprit of the light in your hand rather than the one in the sky.

Trump inks trade deals on Asia trip, with US-China agreement close ahead of Xi meeting

Posted on by

The president expressed optimism that a deal between the U.S. and China was close. He stated, “China wants to make a deal, and we want to make a deal.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent echoed this sentiment on Sunday morning, confirming that both sides had agreed to a “framework” for the deal.

China had hoped to avoid new 100% tariffs scheduled to go into effect on November 1. Bessent thanked President Trump for the negotiating leverage that the threat of these tariffs provided. “President Trump gave me a great deal of negotiating leverage with the threat of the 100% tariffs, and I believe we’ve reached a very substantial framework that will avoid that and allow us to discuss many other things with the Chinese,” Bessent told NBC.

Chinese trade negotiator Li Chenggang told reporters that the sides had reached a “preliminary consensus.” Further progress is expected during Trump’s upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea on Thursday. Trump also expressed hopes to visit China and invited Xi to visit Washington or his Mar-a-Lago estate.

The new Chinese tariffs had been introduced in response to U.S. limitations on rare earth minerals imposed on China.

In addition to the developments with China, the U.S. also secured trade deals with several other nations during the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Kuala Lumpur. New agreements were signed with Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia.

President Trump attended a ceremony marking an expanded ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia. The two countries had recently fought a brief conflict lasting five days in July, which resulted in dozens of deaths and displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians. Taking credit for helping to end the conflict, Trump stated, “On behalf of the United States, I’m proud to help settle this conflict and forge a future for the region.”

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet called the agreement a “historic day,” while Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul described the new deal as laying “the building blocks for a lasting peace.” The trade deals with Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia included reductions in tariffs across the board.

President Trump had previously threatened to impose tariffs on Thailand and Cambodia if they failed to reach a peace deal. Notably, the deals with Malaysia and Thailand contained provisions related to critical minerals used in electronic devices, helping to reduce American reliance on Chinese rare earth minerals.

**Tariff Exclusion Process in Trump 2.0: A Big Departure from the First Term**

Trump also continued to strengthen relations with other Asian countries during his appearance at ASEAN. The summit included nations such as Singapore, Indonesia, and Vietnam, among others. During his address, the president made a strong friendship appeal to the countries present:

“The United States is with you 100%, and we intend to be a strong partner and friend for many generations to come,” Trump said.

The Outer Worlds 2’s weirdest weapon is a flashing rainbow sword that turns combat into a rhythm game I’m terrible at

Posted on by
Reply

It’s fair to say that *The Outer Worlds 2* loves its weird weapons. From the first moment you step foot on Paradise Island, you’ll start discovering all sorts of strange murder contraptions. These range from a sniper rifle that fires sneaky explosive bolts you detonate when you reload, to a pistol that infects enemies with a contagious disease they can spread.

The strangest weapon by far that I’ve discovered in my travels through Arcadia, though, is a sword that turns combat into a rhythm game. Yes, you read that correctly—if you don’t slash and slice to the old-timey beat, you won’t gain its bonus. This sword might seem like a bit of a meme at first, but when fully powered up, I’m convinced it might be the best melee weapon in the game.

### The Spectrum Dance Saber

The weapon is called the Spectrum Dance Saber, and it’s quite hard to get. You’ll first have to complete an elaborate collectible quest to unlock it, and even then, it’ll set you back 16,500 bits, making it by far the most expensive weapon I’ve found in the game. Even after unscrupulously looting my way across the first few regions, this still put a serious dent in my hoard of bits.

Its perk reads:
**Dance Mode:** Perform the prompted dance action to keep the beat alive!

Here’s how it actually works: when you enter combat, a new UI appears in the center of the screen, the music starts, and two arrows come in from either side. All you have to do is swing the sword at the right time to power it up a little. Each swing changes the color of the sword and fills the note in the UI.

### Effects and Gameplay

This is where it starts to get a bit busted. The Spectrum Dance Saber applies effects to enemies based on the color it is when you hit them. For example:

– If the note is **white**, it will freeze enemies.
– If it’s **red**, they’ll detonate in a fiery explosion.

Once you’ve successfully hit enough beats and the note is full of all the colors, the sword enters its super state, flashing a rainbow as it cycles through them at speed.

In this super state, every slash applies a different effect to enemies based on sword color. The results are pretty chaotic as enemies simultaneously freeze, explode, corrode, and more, stacking multiple conditions on them.

Even better, you no longer have to keep the beat in this turbo-state, meaning you can attack at will. When the super state ends, the sword starts the minigame again.

### Tips for Using the Spectrum Dance Saber

Although the beat is very consistent, it’s challenging to match your attacks with enemies while also blocking, evading, and just generally staying alive. However, there’s a useful quirk: your timed swings don’t actually have to hit enemies to count. This means you can power up your sword with regular swings from cover and then rush into combat when it reaches its turbo-state.

Admittedly, this might be a bug that gets patched out later, but for now, it works.

### How to Obtain the Spectrum Dance Saber

You can get the Spectrum Dance Saber once you complete Paradise Island and unlock Free Market Station. Head to the bazaar and go upstairs in *The 2nd Choice Tavern* to find Fionna F. Walker.

If you can collect 25 Tossball/Pitchball cards (to beat her collection), this Sub Rosa merchant will let you access her special inventory, including the rhythm sword.

While 25 cards might seem like a lot, I managed to gather most of them from Paradise Island and Free Market Station, with the last few coming from Golden Ridge.

When the game fully releases, I’ll be publishing a guide with all of the Tossball/Pitchball card locations, so I’ll be sure to link it here. Stay tuned!

EXCLUSIVE: Hugh Jackman’s Failure Brings Deborra-Lee Furness Joy! — Hunky Actor Having Trouble Selling Tickets to New York Show… After ‘Cheating’ Allegations Led to Bitter Divorce

**Oct. 26, 2025, Published 9:00 a.m. ET**

**World’s Greatest Showman Hugh Jackman Struggles to Sell Tickets, Much to Ex-Wife Deborra-Lee Furness’s Satisfaction**

Hugh Jackman, famously known as the world’s greatest showman, is reportedly having trouble selling tickets to his one-man show in New York. This news comes as music to the ears of his gleeful ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, who, according to RadarOnline.com sources, believes he deserves nothing but bad luck following revelations of his cheating ways.

“Deb has moved on, but she’s getting a fiendish delight hearing he can’t fill seats at his one-man show” at Radio City Music Hall, a source revealed.

Another insider added, “It seems Hugh’s not as invincible as he thought he was. People have told her he’s struggling and down in the dumps over the lack of ticket sales.”

**Deborra-Lee Furness’s Reaction**

The same insider further commented, “Deb clearly feels he stabbed her in the back, and she means to make him pay dearly. She loved him, and he was her everything, and now he’s a louse who broke her heart and betrayed her.”

**Why Are Ticket Sales Suffering?**

As RadarOnline.com readers are aware, Jackman, 57, and his fellow Australian Furness, 69, who married in 1996 when she was a big star Down Under and he was relatively unknown, announced their separation in September 2023. Their split came amid rumors of Jackman’s clandestine affair with Sutton Foster, 50, his married leading lady in the Broadway revival of *The Music Man*.

In his new show, titled *Hugh Jackman Live: From New York, With Love*, the X-Men alum performs songs from some of his biggest screen and stage hits, including *The Greatest Showman*, *Les Misérables*, *The Boy From Oz*, and *The Music Man*.

Broadway insiders, however, suggest that neither Jackman nor the show itself is entirely to blame for the lagging ticket sales. They attribute part of the struggle to a drop in international tourism to New York City.

“Others say audiences are avoiding Hugh because he’s a love rat – he’s become a turnoff to a lot of people who used to love him for his family values and his devotion to his former wife,” a source explained.

“Either way, the show could be in real crisis if this continues, and Hugh’s darling Sutton won’t be able to pull him out of this slump,” the insider claimed. “And Deb is feeling no sympathy for him.”

Russia says more than 80 people detained for questioning after Moscow street fight

**Over 80 People Questioned Following Major Street Fight Between Migrants in Moscow**

*MOSCOW (Reuters)* – Russia’s Interior Ministry reported on Sunday that more than 80 individuals were taken to police stations for questioning following a significant street fight between migrants in a residential area of Moscow. The ministry stated that all foreigners involved in the incident would face deportation.

Russian media released videos showing people engaged in violent clashes on the street using clubs and spades. The footage also revealed the smashing of windows near parked cars around the Prokshino residential complex. However, the cause of the fight remains unclear.

According to the Interior Ministry, 19 people have been arrested on charges of hooliganism. The ministry added that migrants holding Russian citizenship risk having their citizenship revoked. Foreign nationals involved who are not imprisoned will be deported and banned from re-entry into Russia, said Irina Volk, a spokesperson for the Interior Ministry.

Migration, particularly from former Soviet republics in Central Asia and the Caucasus, has emerged as a major domestic political issue in Russia. Restrictions on migration intensified following a deadly attack at a Moscow concert hall in 2024, which Russian authorities attributed to Tajik nationals.

In 2024, approximately 6.3 million migrants arrived in Russia, according to Interior Ministry figures. Nearly half of these migrants came from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Despite Russia’s domestic economy relying heavily on affordable labor from these regions—especially in construction and consumer industries—many Russian citizens have expressed concerns. They criticize the large influx of people, noting a perceived lack of familiarity with Russian customs and culture.

Additionally, Russia has been grappling with severe labor shortages across multiple sectors since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, as hundreds of thousands of Russian workers joined the military.
