Putin vs sanctions: why Russia hasn’t collapsed
from Růžička & Vořechovský · host Jan Růžička
Russia hasn’t collapsed. But that doesn’t mean it works. Inflation, hidden debt and improvisation define the current model. And sanctions do work—just not the way the West expected. Russia has found detours via China, third countries and the global grey zone. The key question is not whether Russia survives, but how long it can finance the war without structural damage.
