Well I bought some Russian shares for my pension fund on Monday.
No doubt they will be back to previous levels within 1-2 years maximum, so for me, this is a good deal.
My only worry about this is that Russian companies de-list from the London Stock Exchange.
There wasn't a lot to choose from so I bought Sistema, Gazprom and Magnit.

However I am very sorry that this is affecting Russia. What's happened is deeply unfair and corrupt. Basically Saudi acting on US orders to hurt Russia and Iran by bizarre manipulation of the oil prize.

In the meantime, hysteria in Sweden about Russia is 10 times higher than ever in my lifetime.
It's beyond a joke. It's total insanity. It's a tragi-comedy.
A lot of people are actually falling for it, particularly young people.

Anyone who just accepts media stories will believe that Russia is actually planning to invade Sweden shortly.
They make up various accusations about planes, submarines illegally on Swedish territory.

They are actually planning to re-call guys who did their military service 10 years ago on a refresher drill "due to the hostile threat from abroad".

Those who are still able to think critically and aren't paralysed by irrational fear of Russia realise that there is manipulation going on. We are pushed into the arms of NATO probably and already half way in. It makes me sick.

Tragic to see that my country has totally lost its independence and is now a puppet operated from Washington and Brussels.

As for the unmentionanable country starting with a U.....
A tragedy beyond belief to see what it looks like now.

I just want to tell Russians: There are plenty of thinking people in Europe (and the USA, I think) who realise that you are being the victim of a very nasty conspiracy at the moment. I don't think Russia deserves this at all. Russia is being punished for not being the loser country it was in the 1990s anymore. I am not worried in the least about the alleged "aggressiveness" of Russia and I think Russia is behaving with integrity, more or less.
