The country floats on some of the largest untapped oil reserves in the world. And their state owned oil company cannot turn a profit and pay a dividend. That is sad.

The Russian people deserve better.

Well, thats the gas company, not the oil company. Russia pissed off the bulk of its gas customers, and nat gas is very
location specific vis a vis pipelines. You cant just ship it to someone else (unless one invests $$$ in LNG plants).

Oil is a global commodity and much harder to boycott.

On 26 September 2022, a series of underwater explosions and consequent gas leaks occurred on the Nord Stream 1 (NS1) and Nord Stream 2 (NS2) natural gas pipelines, two of 23 gas pipelines between Europe and Russia.[8] Both pipelines were built to transport natural gas from Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea, and are majority owned by the Russian majority state-owned gas company, Gazprom.

Our United States Navy destroyed The Nord Stream pipelines into Europe and you have the gall to mock and gloat when Gazprom has a downturn.   How can they sell gas when we don't let them get it market?

I agree that the Russian people deserve better than to have our Neocon warmongers continually trying to destroy their country.

I was proud when we destroyed the Evil Empire Soviet Union.   I am proud that I helped!

But you and all the rest of the Zeepers couldn't accept the win.   You still want to grind them into the ground, then takeover their vast natural resources, or worse yet perpetuate perpetual war like Big Brother taught you to do.

"Carthago delenda est" all over again.
