- Production in the military-industrial complex is squeezing money out of the civilian economy. How much longer can Putin keep burning money, resources and people on a project that is neither creating sustainable wealth for citizens, nor substantial successes in Ukraine.
Russia's economic growth relies heavily on state-funded arms and ammunition production and masks a multitude of problems, including poor living standards and rampant inflation. Vladimir Putin claims the economy is developing, and will continue to flourish. He claims Russia can transition away from the West amid sanctions imposed over the Ukraine war, but reality may be far more messy and painful.
Russia-based economists say the economy is showing signs of overheating as Moscow ploughs on with what it calls the "special military operation", and that for all the current optimism, stagnation or recession now looms. "If a defence company builds a missile or a shell, they explode somewhere and GDP grows," said economist Sergei Khestanov. "But the civilian economy receives very little benefit from this process." Russia is pumping the economy with one-time, unproductive investments that yield limited future benefit.

Konstantin is always one of your best guests. Thanks for interviewing him. 😊
Now that Sweden and Finland are included in NATO it means there is more naval power involved. 😊
Right. Until Trump wins. And he will win despite all our wishful thinking and exposing of his crimes and lies because we just aren't doing enough. If those countries value NATO and the support of the USA they should help us defeat Trump.
Konstantin, It must be depressing to see what has happened to your homeland. All I can offer is to try and push through it.
Incredibly depressing. Tragic. I'm going down along with Russia
Even worse about Ukraine
@@barrybrodin7085in terms of devastation yes. But Ukrainians are free people. And as someone who lived through an imposed communism regime I can tell you that that's incredibly important. Russians are now living in a totalitarian state. Their economy is crumbling. They are isolated from the world. Half a million Russians have died in this war. It's a terrible situation to be in. I truly believe most of them hate what's happening in their country and hate this war with Ukraine. Unfortunately Putin doesn't care what Russian people want. He will bleed his country dry to stroke his ego.
I love it when you have Konstantin as a guest. He provides so much Information and it’s extremely accurate. He’s a treasure in these difficult times
He's also a *russian grifter* that makes mad money off of the blood of Ukrainians that are suffering and dying.
You people that send him money need to wake up to who he really is.
Good evening guys!
Slava Ukraini 💙 💛
Heroyam Slava ❤
Heroem indeed lol...
Salo uronili-)
I follow Konstantin through his Inside Russia channel where he gives regular insights. The situation is sad and dire, there are millions of good people in Russia so we shall not lose hope. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🌟🌟🤞🤞🤞
Russians in Russia haven't lost hope. Those who left Russia only have hopium left...
maria👏👏👏👏
The amazing thing is that there are so many successes with so little help and so little resources.
Hi to both of you. Nice to see always sober minded individuals at work👍👍! Thanks❤.
Glory to Ukraine.
Never forget: "Russians pride themselves on their ability to endure suffering." - Konstantin
I look forward to Konstantine’s updates @INSIDE RUSSIA. Telling it how it is, even while it breaks his heart. Well done K 👏👏
If anyone lives in a bubble, it's Konstantin and those who can't face the reality that Russia is doing well, compared to Ukraine and its western backers...
@@gmw3083 Ivan go and play with the traffic!
@@He-de-hi-js2yu The funny thing is that your ownership group has you convinced that you're safe, while they've effectively lured you out into the middle of the highway. You got pied pipered....
@@gmw3083 take a break will you. I’m really not interested in your propaganda spouting off. Nothing in life is a given, it could all end tomorrow. Am I bothered with what you ‘believe’? Absolutely not!
@@gmw3083 let’s see if this comment gets deleted. I don’t care what you think, nothing in life is a given, it could end tomorrow. At least I’ve lived and enjoyed it. Am I bothered about what you think? Absolutely not!
Gods Blessings upon Ukraine and all the good Russians seeking freedom! 💕🙏🏼🙏🏼💕
Thanks for the interview , it’s a darn shame it took the death of Alexei Navalny to perhaps moves things along to the light at the end of a long tunnel,can only hope& pray for this insane war of Putin to end& give Ukraine their country back, they have suffered enough 🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇦🇺🇦
Konstantin for president would be great
One of my favorite guests on your channel! Konstantin’s expert views are much appreciated. He has a unique viewpoint, being an economist and a Russian. I always look forward to his monthly appearance on Silicon Curtain 🇺🇸
👍👍
There is no expert view here. and often enough, this guy didn't take a clear Position, when it was clearly needed. When he then fled russia with the help of others, he thanked god instead of the people., that clearly saved his life. . He is just doing his youtube thing and doesnt add anything to the conversation, as he never did. Yeah, for you he did. But tell me why? I will give you my answer to your rwponse beforehand: you could have that from a better more serious and critical source
😮@markuss4133 And your problem is ? I believe he is opening the Western eyes to the evil that happens and continues to happen in Russia and how they work. What do you bring to the table to oust an evil dictator ?
@@markuss4133you clearly don't know Konstantin very well..Ivan😅😅😅
@@markuss4133I remember watching his channel before the invasion and he said that it was clearly America's fault and I think that your comment is spot on
Great to see Konstantin back on your channel Jonathan. 👍
C'mon, all the Russian commanders are doing their best to save their own butts.
Thank you,Jonathan and Konstantin, for the insightful conversation. During Navalneys time as the leader of the opposition in Russia, Putin only gained strength and dominance. Why would his followers generate spine now? In the digital age there are multiple ways of surveillance, unlike the 1930s. And Tucker Carlson is a dull tool for the highest bidder. IMHO.😊 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 Heroiam Slava 🇺🇦 ♥️ ❤️
Cant bring myself to view it. I guess he had to cater to the Vlad in order to feel comfortable amongst him. The laugh had little place other than hurry subject change
Ukrainians are good people
So as any country.
@@ConstructiveMinds100 Except Russia.
Not all of them. Many Ukrainians were in the Red Army that invaded Germany in 1945 and raped thousands of women, also casually murdering children and old people.
Ukrainians are nazis...
There are good people in Russia too. Not Putin obviously.
Slava ukraini 🇺🇦 🇸🇯
..Glory to All of the Heroes of Ukraine
I wish we wouldn't have a tRump and MAGA problem, and could get the aid moving, but what I really wish was if russia would have stayed home. I think all this death and destruction is terrible, including all the Ukranian cities and towns that were flattened, and all the people that were killed.
The wicked witch Victoria Nuland has resigned. Not a good sign for Ukraine. The project is a failure. DC knows it...

Excellent stuff guys, the line from Konstantin about Putin's address "Making Russia great again" Has a familiar ring to it! Hey Donnie!
Great interview guys! So much appreciated. The world needs to see this! Slava Ukrania! I support Ukraine in many ways and I hope others do as well!!
Thank you Jonathan and Konstantin, greetings to you both!❤
Love Konstantinos and his honesty and the truth about Russia. God Bless him.❤❤
All Putin cares about is Power. He is a hedonistic narcissist
The Russians will have start growing food. They will have to fish and hunt and raise chickens and rabbits
Grow Amaranth. You can grind it into flour and make bread with it
It is always great to hear Konstantin and Jonathan discuss the current state of the Ukraine war and Russia. 😊
Yep, even Putin despised Carlson 😊
Konstantin what a lovely man it does prove that there are good people in russia its a shame that one man and his hench men can bring so much shame to a hole country
Trump is doing it successfully in US 😂
good people must not lose hope. remaining strong in darkness takes incredible strength.
He shares what is the truth of what Russia has became.
Regards from the Netherlands….thanks for your information….
Konstine ❤ you. You inspire me. Even us in the west to be a better people. Thank you. You give many of us hope.
Great stream Johnathon, As usual. They are always so informative and insightful. They have started to arrest people who were photographed at Nalvany's funeral according to news reports coming out today
The condensations on Silicon Curtain might become too long for a simple seating, but I Regularly go back. It’s just so extra insightful; more than many others.
That was so good, I love when you two get together to talk.
This was yet another great interview - thank you! Konstantin, I have a similar story involving cucumbers circa 1987 (I grew up in Hungary or Orbànistan as it is known today).
Thank you both! 🇺🇦
KOSTANTIN SPEAKIN TRUTH. Im from Canada. The bubbles are strong over here too!
Thank you both for an informative discussion.
I always tune in to these conversations with K.
Over 16,000 ppl showed to his funeral. They were saying....
"Ukraine as good ppl"
"F**k vlad putin"
Resist and fight strong russian citizens, putins day are getting numbered!!! ❤❤❤❤
And also they chanted, "Putin is a murderer." In Russia, in public.
I have the exact same opinion of Tsar Putler
I heard on Sanctioned Ivan that some viewers were telling him that the Russian Police were going to people houses and being arrested today over the funeral. 😢 I kind of figured that would happen because the police weren't attacking and harrassing anyone. I thought that was odd, and too easy. But that's the reason...they have people on that face recognition and video etc Now they are coming for them😮
@IcerinAlaska49 putin does not want people to see arrests in other' countries! Putin just denies! Unfortunately it will take a large number of Russians to stand up against tyranny! Otherwise he wins! The United States cannot be depended upon to help Ukraine!
16,000 are light numbers for the FSB, sounds like busy afternoon
SLAVA UKRAYINI !🔱💙💛✌😊
The only thing I don't like about Konstantin is that he doesn't sing much anymore. 😂😉
Hi Konstantin 👋
I so like when he sings…😂Bang Bang was a real hit 😂
😂😂😂😂
Happy birthday to you
Having studied the Russian language and history in college I find Konstantin's information very interesting and to be trusted. Please keep it coming. It is valuable for today's world.
Excellent dialogue gentlemen. Always insightful listening to you 😊👍🏼
OK, just a comment to help along with the algorithm: loved your talk with Kontantin as always, and if I ever met you two in a pub I'd happily be buying the pints all evening just to keep you both talking while I just listened. Cheers and Slava Ukraine.
Love Konstantin but I think we both must have been watching different Carlson interviews, only thing Carlson pressed was his trousers.
🤣
Thank you so much Jonathan! Great great interview❤🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks for having Konstantin on your show. I love the conversations you have with him and I also like his channel. You both are smart and have heart. Thanks!
The terrible Russian economy gets sugar coated in our media so much. Sanctions are slow but they can be effective. Some people may bring up Cuba as a counterpoint, but check out what just happened to their currency now that Russia can't continue propping up their economy.
I honestky can't tell if Russia was there to help prop their economy, or pirate there men for war. And have to wonder for those that went (Cuba called it human trafficking), if they made it sound like they would be having regular work, or if they knew they were being sent to the front lines to die. They scammed Napal and Indian men that way, and both countries want their people back. The wife from Napal said her husband didn't sign up for the fighting and they put him on the front anyways. He was killed and they never laid him a cent. Terrible situation
Thanks for the interview with Konstantin, Jonathan. His channel is very objective and insightful. 💡
He is a russian GRIFTER. He takes luxurious vacations that match his luxurious lifestyle from the money that all his minions send him INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING UKRAINIANS that are suffering and dying inside Ukraine.
Wake up.
Russia is such a huge country and most of Russia is kept poor and uneducated.
When the Soviet Union fell, the mob filled the power vacuum. Russia has been run by the mob ever since. All the money goes to the mob bosses in Moscow
And they love it!!!
It's an Imperialistic, Terroristic, Kleptocracy! Most of those federation countries are getting pissed at putin.

What a very fine and illuminating discussion. Have 5 pages of notes at least! Thank you both for your insight, clarity, deep knowledge, compassion and common sense. We watch both your feeds regularly. Jane Soole, Dorset, England.
Love watching Konstantin`s podcasts, he tells it as it is!
Always good to see Konstantin, I only just checked his channel for any new content 👍🏻
I love Konstantin's streams in Inside Russia daily, and your interesting talks about tbe current situation.
Thank you. Hugs ❤️
Very good episode as usual. Thank you gents for bringing a sense of visibility in these merky waters. This is one of the few reliable, in-depth and up to date sources of unbiased information there are on the subject and that is of great value!
Love watching Konstantin and hearing his insight, and my heart goes out to the Russian people! I hope they’ll break free from the cognitive dissonance and rid themselves of the plague that rules over them.
Thank you both for your insights
🇪🇺🇺🇦🏴🇺🇦🏴🇺🇦🇬🇧
Thankyou Konstantin Always great to hear your insights. Very well researched and explained 👏👏👏👏
Great discussions and perspectives, thank you Konstantin and Jonathan for another very interesting talk. Slava Ukraini 💙💛
Konstantin sent me! Excellent video, thank you for the heartfelt interview. Much respect for both of you on this interview.
I don't think enough media attention has been focused on young Russians like the singer Pussy Galore and her very outspoken views inside Russia. She refuses to leave even after being imprisoned for two years for speaking out. They are the real Russian heroes and they are not being talked about.
Pussy Riot?
wanna talk about how they got 2 years for dancing and singing political songs next to the iconostasis of the temple of Christ the Savior and then said sowwy just to get less time in prison ? 😂 they are your heroes, you allow this shite in your western countries don't project in on Russia.
Are you thinking of the members of Pussy Riot?
Constantine knows what he talking about
Yes yes yes. Konstantin
Nice and thank you both.
Thank you guys, you give a lot of people hope. Love your work! Slava Ukraini.😍
always a treat to listen to both of you!
The Sergey Kotov has been sunk worth 51 million dollars 😊

Excellent conversation guys...really enjoyed the podcast.
Konstantin, you seem to supply a realistic truth about the Russian people that we viewers hunger for.
Love you both,
Thank you both.❤
Two of the best, great banter. ..
Another great interview guys, I love the cucumber story from the Eighties
Much respect for K and Jonathan both 👍👍👍
Best from Finland
Konstantin saw a few positives in Tucker Carlson that most in the west did not see, I followed Konstantin's video about the interview. I notice lately Tucker Carlson has expressed questions following on, like he did not understand or "get" the neo-nazi claim. There may be glimmers of hope that cracks will open in Carlson's stance. Or maybe I am being optimistic.
I agree that the Russia is going to face economic problems I think 2024 will be a year that Ukraine fights to survive, but 2025 will be the year Russia will be struggling to survive economically. Already the situation regarding export profits from oil will be hitting home..
Tucker will bend just enough to prevent someone from spitting into his dinner at the finer restaurants. No Western person can be as dense as he purports to be on these subjects.
The greatest positive was that Putin didn't seem to be satisfied with the interview.
Fantastic interview, no where else you find this kind of information👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Tucker made Putin uncomfortable? By making him go into a historic fairytale? Sure.
I love it when Russian FSB desperately tries to save their agents
Tucker: when did Biden cause the war?
Putin: then the Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine came about....
Tucker: fucking Biden
No, bt interrupting the history lesson. Did you watch the interview? Putin was clearly annoyed when Carlson kept trying to steer the topic to the here and now before he was darn well good and ready to get there.
They had very obviously conflicting ideas reharding where they wanted that interview to go.
@@horsemumbler1 they didn’t show it much. To show conflicting ideas Tucker could have asked about Putin’s international criminal court indictment. Tucker didn’t do it because he’s a coward, and probably a traitor. The only remotely useful info was watching Tucker’s debrief with Lex. In learned couple of interesting things there, like that Tucker has a friend who lives in Moscow
Thankyou. Informative discussions
Interesting conversation.
Thanks for the interesting interview, good sir.
Thx guys
I love these interviews between the two of you. So informative.
Always a good listen. I can turn the tv picture off and listen like a podcast. Glory to the heroes.
thank you!
Reading through the comments, the biggest criticism of Konstantin was for not slamming Tucker Carlson. To be fair to Konstantin, he enjoyed the fact that Carlson dared to ask some difficult questions that he believed made putin squirm. This is because Konstantin knows no one in the russian media would DARE ask such a question unless told to. From a western perspective, we all wanted to see interruptions, pushback, alternative viewpoints pushed, challenges to claims made, and so on.
The only reason Carlson got a) an interview and b) out of Russia in one piece is because he is the lackey of Putins number one ally and his only hope for the future - Trump.
Tucker was just a stupid stooge. Why didn't he just keep his rediculous laugh and stupidity home --- or better just stay there.
Love these interviews
Thanks for the nice interview! I follow you both. Slava Ukraine!
One of my favorite guests - looking forward to listening to the interview. Thank you both!
Well said, very informative
Doing nothing becomes more and more difficult as the situation degrades, like 1944 in Germany.
Welcome back, I hope your break left you feeling refreshed. Truly enjoy your posts.
Thank You Konstantin & Thank You Johnathan !
God Bless That You Take The Time To Inform People Throughout The World !
🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱
Constantine provided fantastic content
Thank you Jonathan & KONSTANTIN I hope the prediction you put forward comes true the killing needs to stop
Thx for this Interview with Konstantin
👍👌🇨🇦. Konstantinos is excellent!
Konstantin is the only Russian that I trust. We are lucky to hear from him.
Tucker Carlson is only sincere about making money. If I remember correctly, Putin said that he DID pay Tucker.
This was more of a banter. The discussion was supposedly about an approaching economic Tsunami, but very little concrete evidence was discussed that supports such a contention
Okay, Ivan 😘
Thank you.
