I went back to the video to check on the audience comments and answers portion. I did not find this as satisfying as the first part as there were comments to regular commenters and not necessarily questions to answer, and of course as a new viewer, the names had no meaning for me. On rereading comment #5573 I see I need to correct spelling of southern neighbor BElgorod.

I listened again to the first part of the program where Constantine went into some detail about why Russia’s economy is in so much trouble. Things like labor shift to war industry, international sanctions, etc. which most of us who have followed this war closely already know about. However, for someone only recently following this war some of this may be new and interesting info. After that he goes into great detail on how the Kursk invasion will make matters that much worse for Russia. He ended with a long Christian prayer.

“why Russia’s economy is in so much trouble”

The reasons that you listed are major problems for the Russian economy. Another, that is classic for wartime economies, is inflation. Russia continues to print a flood of new rubles, that is entrenching inflation there, for years to come.
