  1. Well, as a person who has traveled and lived in both Russia and the U.S., I can say that yes, the economy is worse off since the sanctions, but I've also noticed something strange. Russia appears to be broadening its domestic manufacturing industries, because Russian-made products are popping up all over the country's aisles. Call it austerity measures, but Russia is hunkering down for the long term, unlike Caspian's assertion, and if it can diversify quickly enough, its economy should be safe. Regarding the political process, I am also worried about Putin's successor (or lack thereof). Even my friends and family don't know who can replace him, though I imagine it will be another oligarch, who will gain the experience to "become" Putin again. Overall, I think the reports are over-exaggerated, as with all press, and though Russia will definitely see harder times, it will not ever die.
