Russian inflation is also high, clocking in at 7.58%, according to data from Russia's economic ministry. Guriev doesn't believe Russia's economy will completely unravel, as central bankers will work hard to limit the damage.

In his courageous and too short life, Navalny became a symbol of hope for the younger generations of his compatriots. Rather than attack Navalny as a political rival, the authorities peddled a concocted image of Navalny as a petty swindler. Navalny’s death will leave a gaping hole at the center of Russia’s opposition movement, already fragmented and scattered across the globe. To Western leaders who have called on Russia to respect human rights, Navalny’s death is an open affront. A year ago, while he was serving his sentence, Navalny called for Russia to withdraw from Ukraine — and pay it compensation — with posts from his Twitter account.

Putin promite ajutoare în bani pentru ruși, cu o lună înainte de alegeriDiscursul de miercuri al președintelui rus Vladimir Putin despre starea națiunii s-a concentrat aproape exclusiv pe probleme interne - starea economică precară a țării și nivelul de trai scăzut -, promițând ajutoare în bani pentru fiecare copil de vârstă școlară și pentru femeile însărcinate. „Scopul principal este să asigurăm creșterea veniturilor populației”, a declarat Putin în fața parlamentarilor și guvernatorilor regionali care au asistat la discurs. Banii vor fi plătiți în august, cu o lună înainte de alegerile pentru Duma de stat. Mai mult, suporterii lui Alexei Navalnîi sunt îndemnați ca, la alegeri, să voteze candidatul care are cele mai mari șanse împotriva candidatului Rusia Unită, indiferent din ce partid provine acesta. Vladimir Putin a mai promis ajutoare financiare pentru părinții care își cresc singuri copiii – 5 650 de ruble pe lună, și 6 350 ruble pe lună pentru femeile însărcinate, care au venituri reduse.
