Wow, should I draw the conclusion, that you base your emotional well-being entirely on a number of things you can consume at any moment. Thirty per cent more, and you are happy, and, visa versa, thirty per cent less, and you feel down in the chops. That’s funny, but, methinks, psyche does not work in such a straightforward way. It’s exactly what sanctions instigators want you to make believe to reach their pernicious goals of destroying the Russian statehood)).

Anyway, Russia has quite a few oil reserves and, given that world can enjoy consuming oil on only for the next forty five years*, you may safely reestablish your emotional state and be sure the prices are going to skyrocket one day or another.

Известная пословица будет звучать через двадцать лет примерно так: “У кого нет нефти, тот не ест” )).

*Запасы, производство и потребление нефти по странам мира


PS.For now, you can comfort yourself with a brand new thought provoking fairytale, if you like)).


So, while you struggle to make ends meet, oligarchs are given privileges and the general populace are being replaced by the new mongol hordes.
14Russian, why should we be so spooky of mongols anyway? A certain American wit already noted that a Russian is “a person with a Caucasian body and a Mongolian soul. A Tartar Emetic.” Are you a racist, btw?
