    Usually high inflation is a driver of domestic upset at those in power.

    “Domestic upset” - Russia is a prison society. Those upset think it’s the elite’s right to humiliate them. Or are afraid. Or can’t sacrifice their life and their relatives’, because they know most people won’t.

    And now the poorest and the dumbest men have either died or got war experience.

    Anyway, all I personally want is for oil and gas money stream to dry out completely. That will make all of the world’s politics healthier. Despite Russian economy stagnating for many years, you don’t realize how much harm that money has done to the world in those years.
