The statistic are available on the website linked already, there is the historic of the data. I think it is more appropriate from you to compare the situation in Russia now and during the 2008 crisis, since in both case the economy was doing very badly. The behavior of denial when so many indicators are showing it is similar to someone really stubborn and refusing to see the world, similar to the berry story. It is noticeable that you no longer pretend everything is fine in Russia, glad you open your eyes and realize there is a crisis there.

Well yes genius they are on the same website i found the russian ones, you could have checked the link, imagine ! you could have found some valuable information for your personnal use. Though it's not even necessary to compare to understand that a 96% reduction in car manufacturing is not "fine", or 7% less in average wage, or 8% in pension.
Also i'm a bit surprise you ask because you said you lived in Latvia and drew worldwide conclusion given your own personnal alledged gas bill, maybe you can use the same method to have a better understanding of the euro zone stat no ? why need the written document with datas ? you decided to use real numbers for once ?
"Bla bla bla" means you don't consider the official statement from the representative of your country, and instead you expect me to consider your djmix explanation with more attention or believe it right away ?Djmixxx wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 9:04 pmBla bla bla. While this political puppet is trying to say something that will not provoke an angry reaction from Ukraine, the company that is responsible for the gas is filling the storage facilities with Russian gas at full speed.Latvia’s Economy Minister Ilze Indriksone said: “Latvia does not count on gas flows from Russia.
“We have already done preliminary work in time and prioritised gas flows from the Klaipeda terminal, we are also working in other directions of deliveries so that gas heating is provided to the residents in the winter season.”
Klaipeda terminal, is not enough for all Baltic States. And Poland has already reserved part of this terminal. So Latvia can use it only to divert attention from the real gas supplier.
You said everything was fine for Russia with money, and then just after recognize similarities with the 2008 crisis, you have (again) said something that would have damaged your credibility, ( if you had some left ). Similar to when you denied the existence of the war and at the same time posted a lot of pictures straight from telegram trying to justify it with different reasons depending on the day of the week in your 700+ post exclusively on this thread and exclusively aimed at damaging the reputation of ukraine or promote the war including those where you explain yourself posting here in support of Russia.
All in all, i'm going to wait for verified factual information with source , or official statement, to make my opinion, rather than your words since you keep changing them without any regard for consistency.
