"no-onecan do an analysis of the current or next budget in russia because they are so filled with unsubstantiated figures that are"
can't dispute that,, however lets put some numbers for fun.
Russian sovereign fund was 600 billUS$ in 2021. 300 now frozen, Putin (or Nabuillina) has being pumping the rest to balance the budget . Since Gasprom as well as many other Oligarchs in the red, where does the other money come from? Some say Putin's and KSB fund managed by Yuri Kovalchuk, Putin's best friend, is bigger than the national wealth fund which is 600 bill$. Prob they are using some of that?
