There is more likely to be a collapse on the west from supporting a Ukraine war. There is zero resonance of "NATO is a purely defensive alliance" propaganda meant to be a friend to the world or to Russia inside of Russia. It is fully understood as an existential threat in Russia, while it is a casual inconvenience to those who trust western media in the west. A deep concern for the world/west is that Russia's extreme growth in military production means that we will soon be asked to boost competing military production and compromise our own sustainability and leisure.
Last I heard (several months ago, admittedly), Russia had stopped sharing the data needed to validate their economic reports. As a result I immediately distrust anyone saying anything definitive (up or down) about Russia’s economy.
Additionally, this is the first I’ve heard of either site you’ve linked to, so I call bullshit. This doesn’t fully track and can’t be verified.
it's 2023 data. Article explains it ok. Wapo did a piece on how Russian economy was booming this year as well. Wages are high as an alternative to joining army.
