What Zagorodniy said:
- A rapid fall in oil prices, possible due to US actions against China, will significantly accelerate the crisis in the Russian economy
- A drop in oil prices to $40 per barrel would mean “clinical death” for the Russian economy
- Freezing of bank deposits of the population will be the first critical sign of the collapse of the Russian economy
Political and economic expert Taras Zagorodniy answered the question of when Russia will feel the negative consequences of falling oil prices. He is convinced that everything depends on the dynamics – if the recession that has already begun develops faster, then these processes will become noticeable for Russia in two months.
“If the recession is rapid (for example, during the pandemic, oil prices fell to zero, and this is possible, given how the US is hitting China), then everything will be even faster in Russia, we will be surprised at how quickly everything will happen. The tsunami has been launched, and by the end of the summer we will see a lot of interesting things – it will be obvious to everyone that Russia is collapsing. And we will all be surprised at how the Americans will rush to save Russia. But it is impossible to save it – China will not allow this to happen,” the expert says in an interview with Glavred.
As Zagorodniy emphasizes, the first, most important sign that everything has become very sad in Russia will be the freezing of Russians’ bank deposits. Moreover, the development of such a scenario in Russia is already being actively discussed.
“This will not even be a ‘wake-up call’, but an alarm. We are monitoring the dynamics of oil prices. Oil at $40 per barrel is already the clinical death of the Russian economy. But at the same time, our strikes on Russian territory will continue: on oil storage facilities, gas and oil compressors. All together, it will work perfectly,” Zagorodniy sums up.

Oil Price Decline – What’s Known
As Glavred reported earlier , the fall in oil prices could hit Russia hard. However, only if the reduced price lasts long enough – at least 2-3 years.
Economist Vladislav Inozemtsev believes that Donald Trump could deal a serious economic blow to Russia , causing it to lose tens of billions of dollars. This move could have devastating consequences for the Russian economy.
In addition, earlier there was information about the possibility of oil prices falling to zero . Analysts claim that this will lead to catastrophic consequences for Russia, which may soon run out of resources to continue the war.
According to Konstantin, 3 russians banks have now been bailed out. VTB and Gazprombank are two of them. I don’t remember the third one.
Bailed out with what? Freshly printed toilet paper? This is akin to pasting paper over holes of a leaking ship. It keeps the rust bucket a float for a bit longer.
The printing press is working overtime.
“A drop in oil prices to $40 per barrel would mean “clinical death” for the Russian economy”
Even before this magical price is reached, mafia land is in trouble. For every dollar less a barrel of oil costs, means less to spend for his filthy war. I hope that mafia land will eventually collapse and disintegrate.
