The Russian economy shitting itself and shrinking for a few years because of a crippling overdependence on oil revenue and some sanctions is pretty indicative that the Russian economy has little to hope for in it.
The Russian economy won't be fixed until the whole system is restructured, because you can only go so far on natural resources, and I don't think anybody at the top has the willpower or desire to do it.
And unless these problems are fixed, it's not so much that the Russian people will be reduced to eating raw potatoes, but that they will see the rest of the world around them become prosperous and the gap widen.

oh, pardon, readed as "for Ukraine", my mistake.
[QUOTE=gudman;46776431]How exactly did you arrive to this conclusion when the article 9 of the 1992 Constitution says plainly that Crimean Republic is part of Ukraine? Not that I disagree with the notion that referendum was bullshit, but there definitely was a "NO" option. The part about 'restoring the Constitution" refers to implication that it was ever broken, when legally it wasn't so. Second option is a "NO" option.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for clearing that up, I wasn't sure if at the time of the referendum if Crimea was an autonomous republic and whether the 1992 constitution was broken before the referendum or not. Even with that in mind, a hell of a lot of people didn't vote 'NO' even though it's most likely they would have.
It would be worth more to annex all of Ukraine and be done with it and not this dirty shit. What i also don't get is the west getting a boner for hating conflicting countries where they have nothing to do, but are bajidillions in debt. The sanctions only tickle the economy. What is causing this is is cheap oil prices without budget adjustments
