Скачать или смотреть Russia's Economy Explained: From Superpower To Sanctions

Russia — the world’s largest country by land, and now the central player in one of the most defining conflicts of our time.

But behind the tanks, sanctions, and political tension lies a very different kind of war — one being fought with money, resources, and power.

In this video, we explore how Russia’s economy really works: from the chaotic collapse of the Soviet Union to the rise of the oligarchs, the oil-fueled boom of the 2000s, and the deep inequalities that shaped the nation into what it is today.

We’ll uncover:
⚙️ How post-Soviet privatization created Russia’s billionaire class
💰 Why corruption and sanctions define the nation’s modern economy
⛽ How oil, gas, and energy exports became its greatest weapon — and weakness
🏦 What the real numbers say about Russia’s GDP, wealth, and inequality
🌍 And whether its economy can actually sustain a war this expensive

By the end, you’ll understand why Russia’s financial system is powerful, fragile, and deeply misunderstood — and how decades of mismanagement and greed turned a potential superpower into a paradox of riches and ruin.
