Impacts, but not dramatically. I think its usefull for Russia.

In what way is it useful? To build domestic production and tourism?

[barabaan]

yes, but at first we should learn how to live without oil rent. On our own labor.

Дает стимул к перестройке структуры экономики.

Как раз то, что американцы называют умным словом diversification - в конце концов российская экономика будет меньше зависеть от продаж нефти и газа.

Domestic production doesn't help. For example, eggs from our russian chikens cost 70-100 rubles (30-40 last summer), milk from russian cows 50-70 (40-50 last summer). The only explanation: our chikens eat shredded dollars.

To understand and learn for good that throwing stones while living in glass house has consequences. That when you have 'bread', you'd better settle on living without state-provided 'circuses' of superpower grandeur than risk losing both due to defeat.

The lesson that an oil country should invest in diversification of its industry is already failed, I'm afraid. That ship has sailed.

Crisis feels in slow creep of some domestic prices and communal wages, in jobs shrinking, in prices on foreign goods (there are many, compare RU exports vs imports - remember me scared by ), in political rhetorics. Patriarch of Russian Orthodox Church has recently claimed that people who feel affected by crisis are 'unviable'. This week unviable pensioners in the famous Sochi held a protest against cancellation of mass transit discounts for them, blocking the street.
