I am sure the BBC and CNN, would be much more interested in the pessimistic article you posted, then The Duran readers, as it is simply a Media manipulation piece, with the overtone that the Wests Russian sanctions are beginning to cripple the Russian economy, which is designed slow the flow of private foreign investment into the Russian economy.
If you actually litened it was anything but pessimistic and not predicting the crash of the economy just pointing out that some sectors profits were down but nothing compared to the West.
The caption RUSSIAN COMPANY PROFITS DOWN 6.9% IN 2024, with a RED arrow going down like a Lead Zepplin, is more then enough information for me, for me to waste my time listening to a Media manipulation piece, that a NATO Think tank would be proud of.
If thinking this gives you pleasure, enjoy.
