Russia's GDP in 2022 declined by 2.1 per cent, Rosstat data shows.
This is significantly less than the initial forecasts made shortly after the invasion of Ukraine began.
The World Bank assumed in April 2022 that the fall would be 11.2 per cent. The Bank of Russia predicted 8-10%.
One factor in the fact that the Russian economy has fallen less than expected has been good conditions in the world markets for Russia's main export commodities.

China's peace plan raises concerns in the US and Europe, Bloomberg writes.
While Beijing has not yet released details of the peace plan, which was previously announced by Wang Yi, head of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, European officials familiar with the plan who wished to remain unnamed said it was expected to include calls for an immediate cease-fire and an end to arms supplies to Ukraine.
The US and Europe expect China to propose its plan on the anniversary of the Russian invasion, 24 February, "to compete with a resolution backed by Ukraine supporters demanding that Russia withdraw troops and cease hostilities".
"While China's plan has little chance of success, US allies are concerned that the proposal could resonate in the global South and potentially attract votes at the UN," Bloomberg writes.

Dmitry Medvedev said:
How they shit themselves over there in NATO.
Stoltenberg said the risk of a Russian victory was far greater than the risk of an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. Translating into plain Russian:
The risk of starting World War III is significantly less than the risk of our country winning.
Freaks. Hated and feared.

Earlier, I thought that Medvedev is too soft. But judging how he handles this, the successor of the throne is more visible by the day. Little Dmitry has grown up.

New videos have emerged of prisoner recruitment in Russian colonies by Wagner PMC handler Prigozhin personally.
He stated that Wagner is "a paramilitary PMC with tanks and planes" and is still outside the law in Russia. They have their own code, which "differs from the laws of the Russian Federation".
He named the criteria for "candidates":
"Preferably one who has served 15 or more, preferably ahead of 15 or more, preferably more than once for murder, grievous bodily harm, robbery".
Also, he said, it is desirable that the candidate has previously "fucked up the administration or cops.
According to him, PMCs need "criminal talent.
"I myself served ten years in prison before becoming a hero of Russia. I have a small number of talents, they help me in life, I am sure you have more," he said.
At the same time, he said that the PMC "does not take the down-trodden".
"It is clear that among the downtrodden there are those who want to go to war. A specially trained colonel will come after them, who is now creating a separate red-letter rooster division," Prigozhin said.
Prigozhin named the "three sins" for which the PMCs are shot. These are desertion, alcohol/drugs, and looting.
In the course of the war, Prigozhin said: "We decided that the Ukrops will get scared, but the Ukrops are just like you and me. They have the same iron balls."
Exactly when the video was made is unknown.
In early February, Prigozhin said that he was no longer recruiting prisoners for the Wagner PMC.

Ukraine will have at least 2 battalions of Leopard 2 tanks and probably 6 or 7 battalions of Leopard 1s with ammunition.
Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov told reporters during Zelensky's talks with Biden.
"It will be a coalition. Different countries will provide these Leopard 1 tank. And there will also be Challenger 2 and Abrams tanks and AMX-10 light tanks from France," Reznikov said.
Earlier, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said that only half of the previously promised battalion of Leopard 2 tanks would be handed over to Ukraine and there would only be enough for a battalion and a half.

Putin may soon mobilize hundreds of thousands more people.
This was reported by The New York Times in a piece on the Russian president's upcoming address.
"In his address, Putin will likely only redouble his efforts to implement his strategy in Ukraine. He will prove again that he is not only saving Ukraine from 'Nazism' but also saving Russia itself from NATO takeover.
Going by last year's events, he almost certainly sees his war as a battle to reclaim Russia's historical lands and, by extension, himself as a modern-day Peter the Great.
US intelligence officials say they are detecting signs that he may soon mobilize more Russians into the army, adding hundreds of thousands to the 300,000 already conscripted," the publication says.

Do you see a certain problem with the design here? Tankers and ex-military will know what I am speaking about. A little help, something with the turret. It's visible.
