No one is calling it a fake election.
No one is trying to find 11,780 votes.
No one is storming the Capitol.

💬 "russia faces a rare combination of accelerating inflation, a falling ruble, and high interest rates.... sooner or later, the economy will have to pay the price, whether through a decline in GDP, a further rise in prices, or both simultaneously"

“Russia is largely in the state we have been striving for,” Vladimir Putin said shortly before the end of 2024. However, while the country’s GDP appears to be growing, this statistic is largely the result of government spending, which at 37.3% of GDP increasingly resembles the rising temperature of a critically ill patient (in Celcius, where standard body temperature is 36.6). The symptoms are evident: Russia faces a rare combination of accelerating inflation, a falling ruble, and high interest rates. This façade cannot hold up forever — sooner or later, the economy will have to pay the price, whether through a decline in GDP, a further rise in prices, or both simultaneously.
