The Russian economy has survived despite sanctions from the West. According to Yahoo News Japan, one of the reasons was the Russian mentality.
Journalist Wataru Nakamura noted that from reports in February-March 2022, many Japanese residents had the impression that the Russian economy would collapse due to the sanctions, but it has shown amazing resilience.
The journalist also noted that in the October review of the International Monetary Fund, Russia was the only country whose economic growth forecast was revised upwards.
The stability of the Russian economy was influenced by the continuation of trade with China and India, energy exports and food self-sufficiency.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Western sanctions had led to an increase in world gas prices. As a result, Russian gas companies made good profits.
