The Russian economy expanded sharply in the second quarter as the country shrugged off the brunt of the economic consequences of its war in Ukraine, in what experts believe to be the start of a yearslong growth cycle.
The economy grew 4 percent from April through June compared with a year earlier, the Russian statistics agency said on Friday. It is the first quarterly gross domestic product report to fully capture the change in the economy since the invasion of Ukraine in February. It was an improvement from the first quarter, when the economy grew 3.5 percent.

To be fair,
Wow, unlike, for example America, it sounds like Russia is facing a big recession. Sucks for Russia. They should try and be better, like, again, America. U-S-A! U-S-A!

Here's the actual article:
The Russian economy contracted steeply in the second quarter as the country felt the brunt of the economic consequences of its war in Ukraine, in what experts believe to be the start of a yearslong downturn.
The economy shrank 4 percent from April through June compared with a year earlier, the Russian statistics agency said on Friday. It is the first quarterly gross domestic product report to fully capture the change in the economy since the invasion of Ukraine in February. It was a sharp reversal from the first quarter, when the economy grew 3.5 percent.
Western sanctions, which cut off Russia from about half of its $600 billion emergency stash of foreign currency and gold reserves, imposed steep restrictions on dealings with Russian banks and cut access to American technology, prompting hundreds of major Western corporations to pull out of the country.
But even as imports to Russia dried up and financial transactions were blocked, forcing the country to default on its foreign debt, the Russian economy proved more resilient than some economists had initially expected, and the fall in G.D.P. reported on Friday was not as severe as some had expected in part because the country’s coffers were flush with energy revenue as global prices rose.

To be fair,

Got it. So you’ve pivoted from “russias economy is doing well!” to “the Russian economy is collapsing but it’s good because they’re getting rid of all of those jobs western investment produced.”
This from a shitlib where your covid lockdowns caused a loss of atleast ten percent in real economic activity that was replaced with government debt spending

How would anyone know what Russia's actual GDP is right now? Western nations are so clueless they thought there were 20k Russian troops in Kherson when there were zero. These same clowns want to tell you all about Russia's economy while GERMANY has rolling blackouts.
You have to be particularly retarded to post this. The FX market is largely free and competitive. The Ruble is one of the few currencies up on the USD this year. Tells you all you really need to know.

Obviously he went to Russia and gathered the relevant statistics on domestic economic activity. He was careful to include purchases made by the Russian government. I don't know why I ever doubted him.

Hi Claire! I see you’re now actively posting again after Consuela (of all people) dunked on you and drove into a short retirement before your internet addiction and mental illness pulled you back in.
Since you’re back poasting again, can you chime in here? TYIA :-)

To be fair,
"My short retirement"
You mean when I didn't post on XO for a span of like 2-3 days, which I have literally done maybe a thousand times over the last 15 years? Haha yeah man that was rough. (Kind of amazing that the idea of someone not poasting on XO for 2-3 days seems remarkable and notable to you, though. "Really makes you think.")
Here you can have the brilliant universal Obeezy answer to that question I assume you are bumping: "Link? Wanna try again, kiddo? ;)"

To be fair,
Lmao
Absolutely amazing that you are totally convinced that you "won" this thread / subthread. Really remarkable stuff -- but then again, I would expect nothing less from a guy who admittedly used to be a short bald dateless loser less than a decade ago, and then magically transformed himself into a tall hot jacked rich stud with a gorgeous wife + kids plus a bunch of hot spinner mistresses on the side. How is that even physically possible? Oh well, "the power of the internet," as they say!

Reminder: these are figures reported by the Russian government itself. They ADMITTED that sanctions are killing them. Putin is gonna get slaughtered in the midterms if he can't raise consumer confidence by withdrawing from Ukraine.
