The Russian economy (catch all)

[mirhond]

It is very hard to see how the Russian government can avoid a (deep) recession if the crisis continues for (months) weeks. Lots of shocks hitting the economy at the same time just as the monetary policy is forced to move into the wrong direction and fiscal policy will very likely be quite costly to finance...

Poor us.
You are still deliberately ignoring the fact that we have lived with ####ed-up economy for 15 years. Almost everyone out there understand that all this burgeous pleasantries are temporary, almost everyone either have Plan B if things become hairy, or just don't care about future. We are tempered with endless economic fails, inferior governance and suffocating aura of lies. Even the food, water and electricity rationing won't destroy this system.
