Många ryssar gillar Putin eftersom ryssar har fått det bättre ekonomiskt under hans tid. Vad ryssen ofta inte förstår är att det inte är p.g.a Putin, utan p.g.a ökad handel med väst.
Nu kommer man att lära sig den hårda vägen att det är p.g.a Putin de får det sämre, och då kommer också hans popularitet att revideras.
Exakt! Och då Putin faktiskt är hyfsat impopulär bland folket i allmänhet (
endast boomers i 50+spannet som verkligen gillar honom) så kommer han inte bli mer poppis nu när ryssarna kommer få lära sig hur det blir att köra Nordkorea-stilen:

Exodus of 'iconic' American companies is taking psychic toll on Russians
Russians, Petrovsky-Shtern said, "particularly those born after 1990, are used to having access to Western goods and Western services, and they are alarmed beyond measure."
"They do not want to find themselves in yet another North Korea," he said. "One of the biggest stories that is not being reported is about thousands of middle-class Russians who are voting with their feet and fleeing the country for Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Georgia because they fear losing their standard of living and fear being drafted to fight in this war they don’t want."
The Russians who can't leave "are heading to stores like Ikea and Gucci and buying anything they can before these companies completely disappear from the market," Petrovsky-Shtern said. "Those middle-class Russians understand what is really going on. They know their money will soon be worthless, and this is their last chance to get these items."
Schmidt said for younger Russians in particular, the departure of a company they grew up with like McDonald's or Pizza Hut or Adidas conjures up memories of the grim existence their parents and grandparents lived through.
"It will signal to them a return to the old Soviet Union, a time and place younger Russians have only heard about," he said.
Faktum är att Ryssland
fullständigt håller på att gå åt helvete, så jag är verkligen nyfiken på källor för tråd-påståendet...?

What’s awaiting Russia may be much worse than the chaos of 1990s
If Putin does not change course – and fast – Russia may find itself in an economic catastrophe akin to that of 1918.
Är det möjligtvis RT eller annan rysk statsmedia som har lovat TS guld och gröna skogar nu igen?
