A new thread was requested to cover the position of the Russian economy and its international transactions. So a large number of posts (101 in fact) have been removed from this thread to The Russain economy (catch all): http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ad.php?t=20692

Wheerever possible posts relating to the economic aspects of contemporary Ukraine have remaiend in place.

Given recent events and some light moderation there are now a number of seperate threads on Russia covering politics, cyber & info ops, the military, terrorism, politics & power, the Russian pysche and more. Some threads on Russia are not in the Europe arena notably watching fleet movements.
