âThe damage is doneâ: Russians face economic point of no return
Shoppers and business people express despair and disillusion as sanctions cause run on rouble
Interest rates up to 20%.
The rouble reduced to nothing.
Soviet style queues outsid banks.
Stock market crash followed by closure.
The Russian economy is in tatters and its a long road back to normal. Its sad for the Russian people and a warning to the world. This is whathappens when you elect a populist madman.
So plese point out how putin is a genius.
