In this video, I break down what Solovyov can’t explain: the interconnected failures driving Russia’s economic decline. From labor collapse and runaway war spending to inflation, infrastructure decay, banking stress, and a fragile ruble propped up by controls—not confidence—this is a system under sustained pressure.
The Russian economy isn’t crashing overnight. It’s rotting slowly, as war priorities force short-term stability at the expense of long-term viability. Regulators aren’t causing the collapse—they’re trying to hold together something already breaking apart.
This is the context missing from Russian state television—and the explanation Solovyov never delivers.
Watch Solovyov discuss the russian economy without mentioning the main reason it is down the pan.
Solovyov’s effort is like picking out the raisins from a muffin infested with maggots.
