Quality of life has fallen, wages are stagnant, jobs have dried up, and prices have risen; that is just from my experience hearing from friends and relatives living in Russia. Not everyone is impacted though, the core economy is still pretty good, but the usual issues like labor rights and property rights make any negative thing even that much worse.
Of course those are negatives because it is in Russia. Ukraine experiences the same but worse, but considered a positive thing, lol.

Okay but in Ukraine wages have actually climbed for the past 4 years. Yes its still at a level worse than Russia but people compare their relative positions, not to other countries but to their own recent past. For example my aunt makes $500 a month in kiev as a nanny and 4 years ago that amount was 300 (which is why she worked in Moscow, where nanny wages have since fallen to 500 from 700). They also increased taxes in Russia, which makes prices higher.
People wonder why Russia is paranoid about the west.
Wait a minute, what's that he is saying here, do I hear "furthers central Putin's foreign policy objective; formation of the global anti-American coalition of countries that can frustrate Washington purposes and usher in a more multi-polar world"
? ?
Multi-polar world?
How dare))

Aha-ha-ha-ha.. Fell under the table from laughter.
With the launch of the world's first biosimilar of eculizumab, Russia will have the opportunity to provide all Russian patients in need of this medicine, as well as to end the monopoly of the American manufacturer existing in 2011.
The Russian equivalent of the original drug eculizumab is officially registered and received the name "Elizarius". It differs from the original "Soliris" improved safety profile through the use of modern cleaning methods.
For five years, the Russian company in the Vladimir region has been working on the creation of the drug and received support from the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation under the Pharma-2020 state program.
Russia became the first country in the world to manage the full cycle of production of the drug eculizumab, including the production of a substance for it.
Eculizumab is used to treat rare diseases - paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS).
The year of treatment of one patient with PNH in Russia is 26-27 million rubles, a patient with aHUS - 35-37 million rubles. In the world, the annual course of applying eculizumab reaches 45 million rubles in terms of the Russian currency.
Budget spending on the purchase of the original drug for Russian patients in 2018 amounted to 8.3 billion rubles, which exceeds one third of the cost of treating all orphan diseases.
According to Denis Manturov, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, the drug, created with the support of the state by the Russian pharmaceutical company Generium, will cost a quarter less than the original, and funds received from the project will be used for the further development of domestic biopharmaceutics.
That's an example of the targeted support of economic programs that they have been doing. I just got wind of something with Khazakhstan and China about a massive expansion and upgrade of infrastructure in Siberia west of the Urals. 10s of billions of dollars on road and rail systems and electrical power systems. They intend to open up the whole of Siberia for exploitation. Not a lot of info yet, it's all kind of vague.
Crimea is another example, Vladivostok, the northern branches of the New Silk Road. There's no doubt other smaller projects we don't know about here in the west.

OK, whatever Fareed; you go girl)))
The world is changing, the US has been the thug on the playground for far too long. America really needs to turn a corner or it will get a beatdown it will never recover from.
The problem is since America is rapidly becoming a one trick pony (it only has military means) the world needs to be careful of the thrashing around it will inevitably do. What's scary is the grim possibilities because of people like this guy having so much influence.
