RE: According to the CIA Factbook, Russia’s GDP was 2.5 trillion in 2013. Would 130 billion be that detrimental to them?

That’s over 5% of GDP, I’d say it will start to bite and hard.

True, but the Russian government is cold enough to make decisions that make huge cuts to their people, not blink an eye, and simply say "it needed to be done".

Even a bit more as these are nominal dollars they are losing and have to be compared to their nominal GDP of ~$2T.
