Key Traits
Analysis
Sanctions-adapted war economy with legalized crypto mining, domestic AI capability via Yandex/Sber, and the digital ruble as a sanctions-evasion and state-control instrument.
## Key dynamics (2025-2026)
- **War economy**: Defense spending ~35% of federal budget. GDP grew despite sanctions via import substitution and energy revenue redirection to China/India. But civilian economy hollowing out. - **Crypto**: Mining legalized Aug 2024. Russia is #2 globally in BTC hashrate (cheap Siberian hydro/gas electricity). Crypto used for sanctions evasion in cross-border trade. - **Digital ruble**: Bank of Russia CBDC pilot with 13 banks. Designed for programmable government spending and sanctions-resistant payments. Full rollout planned by 2026-2027. - **Brain drain**: 500K-1M tech workers left since 2022 (Armenia, Georgia, UAE, Serbia). Yandex restructured, selling Russian assets. Domestic AI capability maintained but innovation velocity declining.

Yandex and Sber AI maintain domestic capability but cut off from Western chips/cloud. Brain drain: 500K-1M tech workers emigrated since 2022. Arctic permafrost thaw creating infrastructure risk. STEEPE baseline reflects 2025-2026 wartime state.
