Summary

Regardless of Putin’s decision regarding the war in Ukraine, Russia’s economy is facing a crisis due to factors such as sanctions, a shrinking sovereign wealth fund, and a labor shortage. The war has boosted growth, but Russia cannot sustain it without significant economic consequences.

Russia is basically in an unending economic crisis since 1990.

I don't think this is a "next morning" thing tho. I think i'll be more insidious just like what's happening in the us, railroad starting to fail, education taking a dip, higher mortality rates, stuff like that scattered over the years.
