. . . FUCKED. And double fucked up that the inhabitants of Russia, even the educated, for the most part, do not understand what awaits them.
I explain. Very soon, the Russians will face a shortage of basic products. I'm not talking about all kinds of iPhones . . .

. . . the import of which has already been banned, but about food, clothes, cars, household appliances, etc.

The Russian Central Bank has accumulated a huge savings of $650 billion.

Only they (it?) won't work. Therefore, it is very likely that exit visas will soon be introduced for certain categories or completely.
