4. This is the real reason Trump mandated the use of Asbestos again. Russia is the largest producer of Asbestos in the world.

5. If even the Russian finance minister is already talking about recession …
   Oh come on, he’s certainly exaggerating. /s

6. They lowered the rate to avoid it, but it will increase the inflation.

7. “On the brink??”

   What’s been happening for the past three years then?!

8. Nah, Trump will never let russia go to recession

9. Recession is a good start. Depression and/or hyperinflation would be even better.

10. Putin is actually telling him to stop it. Not how it works Vlad.

11. So, inflation is high with a 20% rate, but he wants to lower it to boost the economy? Genius. I really hope they get rid of Naibulina and let this guy run the central bank.

12. Putin has ordered to inflation to stop, so that will stop the inflation

13. Plenty left in the tank i am sure….in a recent survey 120% of 100% of people believe Putin is doing a great job

14. LOL Fake news!

    Putin warns his officials not to allow recession. The Russian leader said a recession “is not to be allowed under any circumstances,” during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

    They ain’t even allowed to have a recession

15. Putin said NO

16. Would the Russians without indoor plumbing even notice the difference?
