Those measures have contributed to the flight of millionaires and everyday workers, who have left the country to look for better opportunities, significantly hurting the nation's output and productivity. And though Putin has made a show of Russia's economic strength, his actions have only bought Russia more time, researchers warned.
"That resilience is nothing but a Potemkin façade, sustained not through genuine economic productivity but rather through shaking down the entire country for pennies to direct towards war," Sonnenfeld and Tian said.

Given how Western stocks have performed in the Ukraine, the quality is debatable. Patriot PAC3 performed abysmally- the reason Abrams and F16s haven’t been delivered is because their performance or lack thereof would shatter the myth of USA military supremacy (and jeopardize Lockheed sales).

“Yale researchers say”
I’m not so sure I would just go along with this.
Quite true about yahoo. Always spouting the globulleesta viewpoint. Reporting news as though there are simply two catagories of readers: the enlightened intellectual majority, and the ‘far right’ extremist rascist, etc, etc.
Oh, I believe it. Anyone who is impressed by anonymous dregs from Yale is either star struck or on the downside of cognitive ability.
That may very well be so.
A niece will be starting at Yale in the fall, but I do not know any Yale graduates.
A few from Northwestern University including one that was SAE and Married at the Levere Memorial Temple.
He is now a master of the universe, but still a nice guy.

Somebody actually on here defending “Yale researchers”.
Go figure.
Russia and Putin are much, much stronger than before the war began. They are totally free of the west and have annexed the most productive parts of Ukraine into the Russian Federation.
Pirsig’s concept of Quality has NO relationship to the quantity and quality being discussed here.

OH MY!
Would I be on double-secret probation?

**SAE**
That’s nice.
**and Married at the Levere Memorial Temple.**
Even if I had been married in the largest most ornate church structure in existance, the thing that floored me would have put all that as nothing extra special:
My bride looked heavenly gorgeous. I was fighting back tears of joy and amazement. As I took her hand from her father, I felt like it had to be a dream.
And at 66 she still is stunning (and wears no makeup).
“Putin is cannibalizing Russia’s economy as war in Ukraine derails financial order”
