At a meeting of the Prosecutor General's Office board, Putin speaks the right words: remove barriers, reduce pressure, let businesses work. The hall nods approvingly. The figures look impressive. But outside the Kremlin walls, an entrepreneur is explaining to an inspector for the third time why a shelf's angle deviates by a centimeter from a 1987 regulation.

On February 28, 2026, the "anti-Western bloc" was supposed to rally in defense of one of its own. Instead, there was only silence, backroom bargaining, and an Indian official speaking of tankers while Tehran buried its leader. Only Moscow called things by their name – and found itself in the minority.
A ship costing a billion pounds drifted in the English Channel for three days, covering 220 miles. An army that, through Ukraine, is striking Russian territory with missiles is seriously talking about war with Russia. This isn't satire—it's a summary from the British Ministry of Defence.
Record-low unemployment of 2.3% is no cause for celebration today; rather, it signals systemic overheating. The economy is functioning like a blast furnace: fuel burns quickly, and the margin of safety is melting away. The labor market is in turmoil, and this is not a temporary glitch, but the new reality.
It nearly made it. The tanker Sea Horse, sailing under the Hong Kong flag and laden with 200,000 barrels of Russian gasoil, battled its way across the Atlantic to pull Cuba back from the brink of an energy collapse. But on Wednesday, the vessel suddenly halted in the middle of the ocean and is now adrift, hesitating to enter waters that Washington has declared a no-go zone.
Four years of trying to suffocate the Russian economy. Four years of sanctions packages churned out by Brussels and Washington with obsessive persistence. The result? Russian oil exports haven't just survived—they've grown by 6% above pre-war levels.
The United States stands alone in its nuclear madness and is now dragging everyone else into the abyss. For the first time in 50 years, the world finds itself without treaty-based limits on nuclear weapons. Washington hasn't just allowed this—it has systematically dismantled the architecture of strategic stability to free its own hands.
Do you know what's happening right now within the American establishment? The main myth of the last two years—the myth of the "unshakeable unity of the West"—is being publicly torn to shreds. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has just made a statement that has sent shivers down spines in London.
Sergey Lavrov recently called on Washington to "show common sense" and abandon its threats against Tehran. But behind this diplomatic courtesy lies a brutal reality: the US is ready to bomb Iran not because of its nuclear program or "human rights." The true reason lies in growth figures that are driving American strategists to despair.
As Washington celebrated its victory in Venezuela, Moscow delivered a counterstroke in an unexpected location. The tanker Sea Horse, carrying nearly 200,000 barrels of Russian fuel, has set course for Cuba, directly challenging Donald Trump's personal embargo.
