Impact On Russia

 As of May 10, 2022: 1,200 Companies have either withdrawal their operations from Russia or divested themselves from Russian ties because of Russia’s War in Ukraine.

Impact inside Russia:

This impact is being felt inside Russia where besides Foreign Stores, Restaurants and Factories being closed and Foreign Imports stopped an estimated 2.4 to 3.1 Million Russians who worked for those Foreign Companies inside Russia are now unemployed.

That doesn’t include the Millions of Russians who worked for Russian Companies inside Russia that are now being forced to shut-down because they can’t export their goods outside the country or they can’t get the supplies from outside Russia to continue working.

Impact Outside of Russia:

The impact is also being felt outside of Russia where Thousands of Russians who worked for Russian or Foreign Companies outside of Russia who are now unemployed.

Russian Citizens outside of Russia (Tourists who were on Vacation before the Invasion as well as those who have lived outside of Russia for years) have almost no access to their Russian or Foreign Bank Accounts or their Russian or Foreign Credit Cards.

Many must prove they are not Russian Z Nazis in order to continue to work or study outside of Russia (this can be done by signing Statements that they are against Russia’s War in Ukraine – which of course makes them Traitors to Putin.)

Russian Poverty:

In 2021 (before Russia’s War in Ukraine) Russia was already in dire straits with 20 Million Russians living below the Poverty Line.

Also, in 2021 (before Russia’s War in Ukraine) 25 Million Russians lived just above the Official Poverty Line, but live paycheck-to-paycheck so can fall to Starvation Levels very easily.

That means in 2021, 45 Million Russians (out of a total population of 145 Million People -for comparison the US has a population of 331 Million People) were seriously in threat of Starvation, Homelessness and a Pauper’s Death before Russia’s Invasion.

Note:

You have to remember that the Soviet Union was a Second World Country until 1991 (whereas the United States was a First World Country) and then when it collapsed Russia became a Third World Country (also known as a Developing Country) and has stayed that way for over 30 years  - mainly because Putin (who is estimated to have $200 Billion Dollars) and other Oligarchs have stolen money from the Russian people for decades.

Putin and his Nazi Minions have not only created the dire Poverty so many Russians have lived in for decades, but because of his Invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 Millions more Russians have recently become Poor.

All Putin has to do to fix all of this is:

1.       End his Genocidal War in Ukraine and withdrawal the Russian Forces (which will end the International Sanctions on Russia and the Russian People.)

2.       Start allocating the money he, and others like him, has stolen over the years to improve Healthcare, Pension Benefits, Working Conditions, etc. for the Ordinary Russian.

The ball is in Putin’s court and he could easily fix things for the better, but 22 years as Dictator with Absolute Power has clearly made him go mad – not to mention his living in a self-imposed bubble for years.

He clearly has a sick and deranged look to him nowadays. Gone are his shirtless days of riding horses in the wild. Instead he looks, acts and talks with an unsteady manner.

I am not writing this to make you feel sorry for the Russian People (those inside and outside of Russia.) They have placed their bets on a Madman and War Criminal and now are reaping what they collectively deserve.

I do feel sorry though for the Russians who publicly denounce Putin and his Nazi Zs. They are the ones we should help since Putin and the vast majority of the Russian People who support him won’t.
