Russia 2024 - Expectations

A Fragile Economy, Growing Russian Public War Fatigue, and Losses on the Battlefield

Dear BWR Subscribers,

Welcome to 2024, and a Merry Orthodox Christmas!!

In the spirit of delivering more premium quality and valuable insight about Russia from the field, I will launch a twice-a-month Independent Contributors column called “MT799 Authenticated” on Wednesday (17 January). “MT799 Authenticated" independent contributors are experts in their respective fields, ranging from Russian economics and business to geopolitics and war. I chose the MT799 name because it is an authenticated SWIFT message between banks confirming cash or securities on deposit, the precursor to closing a transaction. This parallels the bona fide credentials of the independent contributors contributing to BWR's MT799 Authenticated” - the real deal.
