Translated into English through Google:


The video app TikTok is full of pictures of young Russians who tell of their lives. Freshly renovated apartment blocks with kindergartens, full supermarkets and busy streets design an image of comfortable normality.

The influencers are happy to show how local companies have replaced McDonald’s and Coca-Cola with at least equivalent offers. The subliminal message of the propaganda videos: Western sanctions cannot harm Russia.

A platform of several economic research institutes funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics now supports this message with data. It proves how the Russian economy is booming in the midst of Ukraine war.

While China, India, and Turkey have not quite offset the elimination of foreign trade with Europe, rising domestic demand is leading to a real job miracle. The Federal Government could make the Federal Government envious of upgrades-driven economic growth and low public debt.

The European hope from the first day after the attack on the neighbouring country to force Russia quickly to return with economic sanctions has not been fulfilled. The Russian citizens do not rebel simply because they lack Nescafé and Heineken. Payments and banks have not collapsed. The Russian state can easily pay pensions, wages and benefits.

This shows that in a multipolar world, the West has lost global economic power. Russia is finding new trading partners – also for oil and gas, the foreign exchange providers. Unlike other rogue states, the country has a historically grown full-fledged arms industry. Display

And Putin has even succeeded in stabilising the fluctuating order and eliminating opponents such as mercenary leaders forefying Prigozhin.
