Russian propaganda. They admit that everything is not good. ”0.6 percent" doesn't sound that alarming. In fact, the country is in free fall. People can't even afford potatoes.

Is this with or without taking corruption into account? Even if only 'on a particular large scale'? Including moving such assets out of Russia? (otherwise it would just be a transition of GDP-construction to GDP-harlots)
