Re: 3. Russia's civilian economy
I'm also not sure where it comes from. The link first goes to the Russian version, but you can then switch to the English one. I was wondering if maybe the headline changed later. The article then provides a number of statistics. But I don't think it's fair to extrapolate from those numbers that a large part of the civilian economy is down by half.
