Russia’s wartime economy has created the illusion of stability and growth, while in reality, deepening inequality, exhausting human capital, and pushing the country toward long-term stagnation.
The war in Ukraine has reshaped incomes, consumption patterns and state finances – especially in poorer regions – while masking systemic risks that will only surface once the fighting stops.
This online discussion will focus on how Russia’s war economy actually works, who benefits from it and why its apparent resilience may be temporary. The conversation will also examine what happens when the war ends – and why that moment could trigger economic, social, and political shocks with consequences far beyond Russia itself.
