    I'll bet the average Russians are secretly welcoming these sanctions. For them personally it means nothing -- a transition from a shitty life to an even shittier one.

    Consider it to be a proletarian revolution, except the rich elite is overthrown by a third, external party, and the proletariat is passive as a spectator
