Huonosta sadosta huolimatta Venäjä on omavarainen useimpien maataloustuotteiden osalta. Jotta tuotannon supistuminen ei heijastuisi kotimaisiin hintoihin, monien viljelykasvien vientiä on rajoitettu, tuonti helpotettu ja kotimaisia hintoja fiksaillaan…

Ten years ago today, 21 September 2014, Moscow. The March of Peace against the war in Ukraine, organised by Boris Nemtsov. Tens of thousands of people on the Boulevard Ring with the slogan “Peace to Ukraine, freedom to Russia!”
One day, I know, those words will become a reality.

Pieni sananen pakotteista, olkaa hyvä:
4 Sep 2024
Venäjää vastaan asetetut pakotteet ovat väistämättä alati muuttuva peli ja jo pakotteista päätettäessä tiedetään Venäjän pyrkivän kiertämään niitä.
Kiertäminen on kuitenkin aiempaa vaikeampaa ja kalliimpaa. @LSolanko kertoo blogissaan miksi ja miten:

And, judging by the increasing sums involved in sign up bonuses, the war has become increasingly unpopular in Russia.
24 Jul 2024
The price theory of war. In Moscow, the sign up bonus for the Army volunteers is 1.9 million rubles ($22,000) now. In NYC, this would be like offering $140,000 as a sign up bonus. The price theory says that the war is not popular in Russia.

How the war in Ukraine is reviving Russia’s rustbelt @FT
My colleague @LSolanko was interviewed for this one. Huge increase in military spending shows up in companies’ order books, wages and inflation. @BOFITresearch @SuomenPankki on.ft.com/4cCOJ1S

Yet another indication of increasingly tight labor market in Russia. The share of survey respondents not agreeing to work on gray salaries is higher than those agreeing. superjob.ru/research/article…

Exports to Russia 1-4/2024 vs 9-12/2021 ($) It is interesting to note that overall exports to Russia have been dropping in recent months. Weak ruble? Payment problems?

We have a neighbour that's increasingly drifting towards a totalitarian system with minimal tolerance for any critical voices.

Seven years. That’s the sentence St. Petersburg artist and musician Sasha Skochilenko, an openly lesbian woman, received just for replacing store price tags with anti-war messages.

Sotiminen ei ole ilmaista Venäjälläkään. Menojen kattamiseksi tuloveroa suunnitellaan nostettavan tuntuvasti.

🇷🇺 How do you pay for a war?
Russia is ditching flat income tax dogma to raise ~0.5% GDP/year in revenues around 1% GDP in revenues from corporate profit tax starting 2025
Top marginal tax rate is still lowest among BRICS at 22%

Which regions are have highest military mobilization rates? We follow @LSolanko 's approach and look at parts of Russia with unusually high retail deposit rates
The surge in deposits is likely driven by high military pay and outsized payouts for injury and loss of life

Twenty years ago on this day, April 23, 2004, Presidents of Ukraine and Russia celebrated signing of the Russia-Ukraine Border Treaty. When Putin's says that he has not, personally, signed treaties with 1991 borders with Crimea as a part of Ukraine, he is simply lying.
