https://www.youtube.com/watch/gtP2YuBkfyE The Brutal Reality of Russia’s Economy in 2026 | Mark Galeotti
Russia’s economy isn’t collapsing. Vladimir Putin isn’t about to be overthrown. Yet something inside Russia is clearly changing.

In Part 1 of my conversation with renowned Russia analyst Mark Galeotti, we examine one of the most difficult periods Putin has faced since the full-scale invasion began. From Ukrainian strikes during the St Petersburg International Economic Forum to growing concerns about Russia’s long-term economic trajectory, we explore why the Kremlin is finding it increasingly difficult to maintain its image of stability and control.

We discuss the reality behind Russia’s war economy, the growing strains beneath the surface, why the Russian elite remain reluctant to challenge Putin, and whether recent events represent isolated setbacks or the beginning of a more serious trend.
