There are in fact several sources and I will not do your research for you.

However, here is one on a Yale School of Management study of the Russian economy. The report is in considerable depth. This specific video is produced by an individual called Joe Blogs. He reports on a wide variety of international economic subjects. The same Yale report is available from several other sources.

Your assertions about booming are fallacious at best and actually verge on lies. However, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to plain old ignorance

Yale study, eh?

I'll post evidence refuting your commiepuke leftist Ivy League college lies; not for you as you are not educable, but for others.

Yale????

I hope one day you realize the scope of the corruption out there in our nation, it’s massive. Too many institutions have been infiltrated & corrupted. Join us while we help President Trump clean up the mess or continue to be part of the corrupt mess, your choice.

I find the discussion in which y’all are engaging about the Russian economy to be rather interesting, especially Bert’s video presenting the Yale paper on Russia.

FIRST, I’ll jump on board the Yale bashing. It is a tragedy that so many of the unelected powerful figures in American Government, such as SCOTUS Justices, FED Governors, NSC, Deep State Dept, CIA etc. come from Yale and Harvard.

This is just WRONG. It makes it too easy for the non-elected, un-American, global financial cartel to enhance its power and influence. Moreover, academic institutions are at the heart of the massive Hoax and Gaslighting program fka Global Warming. Hence, Yale is an organ of the invisible enemy, in my book. But that’s another thread.

Still, the video is quite interesting. Watching it reminds me of the scene in the movie, “Patton,” where the lead character says of his enemy, the great tank general, Erwin Rommel: “I’ve read your damn book.”

Bert’s (”Yale-tainted”) argument starts by asserting that Putin is hiding or manipulating the major economic statistics coming out of Russia, including the status of their Central Bank’s balance sheet.

Oops. That is a BIG NO-NO to the very same global financial cartel that we should all agree exercises substantial power through institutions such as Yale. HOWEVER, it does not make the assertion false. Let’s call it “Fog of economic war.”

The next Yale assertion is that 60% of the Russian economy is tied up in commodity exports, primarily energy (gas, oil, coal). Well, duh. That’s the exact same lever that brought down the USSR in the late ‘80s, when energy prices, which had been artificially jacked up by the Kissinger-inspired OPEC oil embargo, were unceremoniously tanked (Saudi oil went as low a $6 a barrel at the wellhead) utterly obliterating the Soviet economy and leading rapidly towards the starvation that precedes revolutions and head chopping.

The next point of the Yale essay is that 83% of Russian gas goes to Europe, which has “Agreed” to stop purchasing it over the next 3-5 years, although this requires them to retool for LNG (liquified natural gas) from places such as the U.S.

Hmm. The globalists “Know” they can continue to push the EU back into the DARK AGES OF ASTROMOMICAL ENERGY PRICING, without any political ramifications in Europe? What? Are the Euros already enslaved? Some of them don’t seem to think so, and the EU is looking pretty shaky.

But, assuming the global money cartel succeeds in keeping the EU on this suicide course, they “Hope” that Russia would be shut out of the markets because they can’t finance the “10’s of $billions”) required to liquify their gas for the world market. THEN STARTS THE ARM WAVING: Yale FAILS to indicate why China wouldn’t gladly finance pipelines into their country, and possibly also finance liquification infrastructure in Russia, if that reopens additional world markets.

Next the Yale video blithely explains that the Ukraine War has disrupted the flow of gas from Russia to Europe. Hmm. I thought it was Putin who did that, to pressure the Euros.

The next point is that part of Russia’s gas production is in Yamal, i.e., eastern Russia, and so a gas pipeline from there to China will be expensive and take years. Yawn. Interesting factoid; I’m sure economics will dictate where future pipelines are built. There’s a lot of gas in Russia.

Similarly, according to Yale, Russia will possibly have to cap off some of its producing oil wells until China can take up the slack. 54% of Russian oil goes to Europe, yada yada yada.

Many of the same, shaky assumptions apply to this. For example, will Europe continue down the path of energy starvation until they drive themselves into their own Great Depression (aka new Dark ages?). That remains to be seen.

THEN THE VIDEO EXPOSES ANOTHER PART OF THE GLOBALIST PLAN: Moving the world into recession, thereby tanking the oil price which Russia must “Discount” from. The U.S. Federal Reserve (i.e., cartel bank) is busily attempting to facilitate this recession with their newest FEAR MONGERING (about the self-inflicted inflation), but the U.S. economy is not quite complying, as of yet.

If that doesn’t work, the next problem Yale posits for Russia is that there are not enough ships in the world to take all their oil to China. This is purely a function of distance, and is an interesting point. If it takes 35 day for a tanker to travel from Russia to China (70 days round trip), and this is many times longer that getting to Europe, then that certainly appears to be a “Bottleneck.” The cartel plans to exploit this bottleneck by pressuring existing shipping companies to shy away from Russia.

I wonder WHO REALLY CONTROLS world shipping.

The next point is that Chinese exports to Russia are falling, and that this is in part because Chinese banks have withdrawn financing. Hmm. So China is playing their own game? Yale doesn’t seem to have taken this into account, preferring to imagine that China is playing the cartel’s game, and unwitting participant as it were.

In any event, the statistics show that Russia is encountering heavy inflation in imported goods such as appliances and cars. It also purports to show that Russian consumer spending is way down (no surprise, as there are less goods to purchase).

But Russia has been there before. The USSR had a lot fewer European cars and imported electronic gadgets than did the average Western nation. They also withstood the Blitzkrieg and the Wehrmacht. I wouldn’t assume they are going to crater over some belt-tightening.

All this analysis of statistics is a bit odd, since Yale assumed the numbers are cooked anyway, but when people are being gaslighted, consistency is a non-issue.

What about Russia being headed for “ECONOMIC OBLIVION??!!” I’m not sure if this headline actually appeared in the Yale report, or was inserted by the youtuber. What he is apparently summarizing is the Yale analysis conclusion that Russian GDP might be “Reduced by 40%” by a combination of all these factors. I dare say that would still leave them much better off than during the Soviet-communist years.

MY SUMMARY: The global cartel has allowed Russia to become a major thorn, directly as a result of America and Europe’s Global Warming policies. Oops. Now they want to create a world-wide recession to reduce demand for energy and further pressure Russia. The Ukraine war is part of that scheme.
