3. Russia's civilian economy
I think chances are very slim that there will be an uprising from within the country. But it's at least good to know that its citizens experience the consequences of the war.

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.
