Скачать или смотреть Russia's Economy is Running Out of Everything | Vlad Vexler

Putin’s regime was built on the illusion of control — an empire run by fear, fuel, and false confidence. But beneath the surface, Russia’s economy is quietly collapsing under its own contradictions. Factories are short of workers, oil revenues are propped up by accounting tricks, and the Kremlin’s promises of “stability” now sound like a bad joke whispered over empty supermarket shelves.

What looks like resilience is really decay in slow motion. The state hides its weakness through repression and propaganda, but the numbers tell a different story: capital flight, falling productivity, and a brain drain that no amount of nationalist theatre can fix. For all of Putin’s talk of sovereignty, Russia’s survival now depends on China’s goodwill — a humiliating reversal for a leader who once dreamed of restoring imperial greatness.

So in this part 2 of 2, philosopher ‪@VladVexler‬ and I dig into the core of Putin’s economic incompetence — how corruption, fear, and delusion hollowed out the Russian state, why the system can’t reform itself, and what it means for the country’s future. Is this the beginning of Russia’s reckoning — or just another cycle of managed collapse?
