Yesterday, Putin delivered a major speech at SPIEF: as usual, we heard about the "growing economy" and the "decaying West." Meanwhile, a gasoline shortage is mounting in Crimea, and restrictions have already been imposed on certain food products, while in non-annexed parts of Russia, food quality is plummeting alongside rising prices. We analyze the key statements from SPIEF with Igor Lipsits and assess the real outlook for the Russian economy.
