http://www.ceps.eu/book/price-oil-an...aggressivenessA decade-long period of a steadily rising oil prices (and that of other raw materials) has given Russia a feeling of strength, bordering on invulnerability, which has made the country more assertive, and ready to use any opportunity to deploy its military power. Based on his analysis of Russian behaviour over the past 50 years, Daniel Gros finds that the abrupt reversal of this trend since the summer of 2014 portends a much less aggressive Russian stance as long as the price of oil remains at present le

Why Crimea Now Has the Second-Highest Inflation Rate in the World
I predicted economic turmoil in Crimea high but underestimated of course some factors.News that inflation is running above 63.4 percent in Venezuela won't astonish anyone familiar with that economy. But the locale with the second-highest inflation rate in the world may be more surprising: Crimea.
Consumer prices on the Russian-annexed peninsula in December were 42.5 percent higher than a year earlier, according to data released this week by Crimea's official statistics service. Prices for some food items, such as eggs, meat, flour, and fruit, were up more than 60 percent. That pretty much wipes out the hefty increases in government salaries and pensions that Moscow announced for Crimea after its annexation last spring.
