Sanctions on Russia May Help Russian Economic Development

U.S. and European sanctions on Russia may help Russian economic development. With direct foreign investment in Russia reduced to a low number- 26 million last year, Russia needs to rely on it's own resources. It has to increase it's economic efficiency and allocation of resources as well as to utilize Russian-personnel resources for work without the influence of foreign entities seeking to devour so much as they might have.

Sanctions on Russia are in part a result of the return to Russia of the ninth federal district; the Crimea. The won't change, and the Ukraine issues seem quagishly stabilized. A political quasi-military swamp that Russia will continue to be a stakeholder in.

Boris Yeltsin designed the Russian state in its primordial form after dismissing the Soviet dominated parliament. His people wrote the constitution and had Russian Federal law trump Soviet law Chapter four articles 80 through 91 give the President Super-powers to issue decrees to correct wrongs in Russian legal and political structure. The rearranging of Russian political structure post cold war required a super-user to make sure that the development of new institutions was balanced and made to serve the Russian people. President Putin needs to leave a Russian political infrastructure that will work when he is gone and has made some progress toward stabilizing the state and keeping it more toward the free market side of things rather than Soviet or state-owned communism. Its a tough role to enact; that of chief designing officer made tougher, yet paradoxically easier, with U.S and European sanctions that keep the carpet-baggers at bay a little better.

The economic circumstance of Sanctions on Russia compel the Putin administration to divert resources of the state from investment in some sectors to others. The lack of direct foreign investment means the state needs to spend more on investment in Russian business development. Russian state censorship of the internet basically is about the ability of the state to view private communications in a way like the Americans experience in the Patriot Act mileau to sift for terrorists and secessionists. Evidently actual censorship is minimal; probably less than the U.S. equivalent of political censorship of Alex Jones and others with the rubrick of 'hate speech'. The U.S. broadcast media owned by the most rich Americans and globalists conditions the public in a way comparable to that of the Russian state media, yet more so. Russia does tolerate dissident media however. It is perhaps 20% of the media in Russia.
