There's a lot of focus on the ruble, but that's a relatively small aspect of their economic problems. They can always print rubles to mail the paychecks out, but they can't print yuan or rupees. The only things they've got to sell that aren't under sanctions are grain and some minerals. Last year russia was flooding Europe with cheap wheat to cause political unrest. This year they aren't because there were losses. I think this will be a hard winter for your average russian.
