Censorship bleeds through. I do not want to hear so I am projecting that others shouldn't.
However many people are interested in what's happening in a land with 11 time zones even if the information is coming through a puppet.

Anyhow it looks like sanctions have provided cover for the Russian people to accept increase prices for the survival/nurture of local produce.
And Medvedev is telling his country men not to expect a change in sanctions any time soon. I believe that Medvedev who in the past had been
pushing for self reliance and diversification of the economy might not be in a hurry for the lifting of sanctions.
Sanctions also forced some of the Oligarchs to invest heavily in Russia since their wealth is vulnerable outside.
There is rush on for agricultural lands and the good part is the aim is for healthy products--GMO is banned.

Not a la North Korea.
It is huge--from Kaliningrad to Valdivostok--about half the circle of the globe and Sanctions have reawaken the possibility of it self sufficiency.

Sounds like a fusion of Stalin and Potemkin.

It may prove OK if they're happy with a diet of potatoes, beets and cabbage.

Didn't the Kremlin try to lock the world out once before? Oh, that's right they did. Didn't work out so well did it?

Nope. Funny how that grand experiment in Soshulism turned so deadly and grim. Russia is now one more cautionary tale in letting the kleptocrats run things.
Under Trump and his cronies we're in for it too, I fear.
