  1. Without sanctions, all local production would continue to die. Since 2014, the course towards the so-called import substitution has not worked. In 2022, the sanctions gave impetus to the revival of Russian production. Now most enterprises are forced to buy Russian products. New factories and productions are being built, the state helps. Of course, it will not be possible to replace everything, but most of it is quite realistic. And some can be bought either in friendly countries or through parallel imports. The number of iPhones in Russia has not decreased.

  2. there are pros and cons. Of course, there are advantages. But sanctions are a forced cut off from the Western economy. For decades, Russia has sought to be friends with the West instead of with the East. A sharp change in vector cannot be painless. But after a year and a half, we see that the results are much better than expected, and the economy is already growing.

  3. Manipulation of facts. You obviously lie, but why? Oil production is artificially reduced in agreement with OPEC+, but revenues do not decrease. Russia does not have the ability, like the United States, to print money, because the whole world uses the dollar (for now), and the resource of the printing press is unlimited. And you should remain silent about inflation; Russia has one of the lowest inflation rates in Europe. Why are you disgracing yourself?

  5. after dedollarization it will be even higher. China and the BRICS countries have already, for the most part, switched to their own currencies.
