What problems are increasing in russia under sanctions? Which of them are going to become critical in 2025? The mentions of russia in media have recently changed their tone. It has finally become possible to discuss their serious structural and financial problems publicly. However, it is not easy to find an adequate description of that what is overall going on in russia under sanctions among these descriptions. I will try at a maximum to give you a complex description of these problems and to show, which of them I see as critical and which not. In my opinion, a row of parameters will pass the point of non-return in 2025 in russia. That is, it will not be possible to come back to the “norm” without rolling into a catastrophic scenario. In a session, we will be figuring out why.
