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.

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!

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.

You fail to respond to this

Didn’t you pay attention when this was happening?

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5174688&forum_id=2#45264099)

But even if it was only ten percent of the drop it was worth it for the cultural benefit

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5174688&forum_id=2#45264128)

It would be worth a fifty percent reduction economically to reduce corrosive western influence and activities

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5174688&forum_id=2#45267066)

Makes sense ;-)

"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? ;)"

The country’s gross domestic product from April through June declined 4 percent from a year earlier, new government data shows.

Similar fall in Q3, making it officially a recession.

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!
