Russia’s economy is facing a potential surge in corporate bankruptcies, the Vedomosti business daily reported, citing experts from the Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-Term Forecasting (CMASF). The CMASF is a government-aligned think tank that is headed by the brother of Defense Minister Andrei Belousov.
It could have been, but Russia doesn’t have any upcoming elections that can save their ass. They’re also fighting a proficient enemy that is killing thousands of Russians a week and destroying shit more quickly than they can put out the fires. Trump on the other hand was fighting a broken system that couldn’t even deal with blatant blocking of justice by compromised judges.
