Next generation Russian economic expert, former adviser to Russian central bank explain the status of Russian economy. 8.5% of total GDP and nearly 40% of annual budget pumped into war so the GDP growth looks flashy on the outset. Unemployment at historically lows probably contributed by 1000 a day dying in Ukraine and China digging in and ripping off increasing its automobile sales to Russia by 600% last year as Russian factories unable to cope with labour shortages. Military men walking with ear to ear smiles getting 6 times the salary they earned before until inflation also at record high's eat into all that. Putin however will have the final say blaming western sanctions for all that.
