This panel discussion will examine the findings and conclusions of the Short Report, “The Russian Wartime Economy: From Sugar High to Hangover,” produced by the CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program as part of this grant. The discussion will center on the ways the Russian economy has developed since the launch of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and the resulting Western sanctions regime. Topics will include Russia’s reliance on military Keynesianism to stimulate domestic demand, and potential weak points in the country’s wartime economic model.
