The last convulsion of a dying empire. Why does Russia's economy a bunch of problems

In the economy of Russia, serious structural problems have begun, from which it does not recover, even sharply freezing the military campaign, the economist Anatoly Amelin proves. What is there for a soup? And there is a lot of interesting things there;) I have not written about the Russian economy for a long time. I will remind that it is the basis for financing aggression against Ukraine and other countries.

I also remind that the Russian economy is most sensitive to oil prices, the revenues from which are generated by up to 30% of the Russian budget. Official statistics report on victories. In 2024, the Russian economy demonstrated growth, exceeding expert expectations. According to official sources, Russia's GDP increased by 4. 1%. It happened "by increasing investments, consumer demand and increasing real incomes of the population. " This is written by official sources.

But what really happens there can be seen from the news of regional national media. A small selection of "successful success" of the Russian economy: the main reason for the problems of Russia's economy is the sharp fall in oil and gas income and the growing costs of war. Russian oil Urals fell from $ 70 in January to $ 49 in early May, which will lead to the loss of 2. 6 trillion rubles of budget revenues.

I would like to remind that in July OPEC+ plans to increase production, which will continue the fall in oil prices. 6. Civil products in the first quarter decreased by 0. 8% per month. As a result, production has reached the lowest level since April 2023. 7. The PMI Index dropped below 50 points, which is a sign of the decline in production. Cargo transportation over the RH network decreased by 9. 7% to the year 8.
