Russia’s Economy Is A Lie

Video Description

The truth about Russia’s economy is a $446 billion fraud. This investigation exposes the secret off-budget debt Vladimir Putin uses to finance his war and reveals why that illusion is collapsing fast. Since mid-2022, Russia’s corporate borrowing has surged by seventy-one percent. The Central Bank of Russia quietly recorded roughly $446 billion in forced loans directed toward war industries. This is not normal growth. A February 2022 decree ordered banks to issue “preferential loans” to military suppliers. Banks obey. The Kremlin spends. The illusion of resilience continues. This shadow credit now equals almost the entire official defense budget. Inflation has climbed near ten percent. Food prices have quadrupled. Pensioners protest outside the Kremlin while real businesses collapse under interest rates above thirty-seven percent. The government claims a two-percent deficit, but if this hidden debt were counted, the real figure exceeds six percent of GDP. These loans hide four converging risks: inflationary collapse, banking insolvency, industrial decline, and the post-war default wave when contracts end and firms fail. Each missile fired adds compound interest. Each drone strike drains another loan. The state is mortgaging its future to survive the present. From recruitment failures in Yakutia to elite purges inside Moscow, the same arithmetic drives the crisis. Putin can silence dissent, but he cannot silence math. The numbers are unyielding: Russia’s economy is not strong, it is leveraged. The war is not funded by power, but by debt. This is how empires end — not through revolution, but through receipts. Russia’s $446 billion war debt is the fuse burning toward the Kremlin.
