Dortmundia, you've been caught using the "Trust My Experts" tactic. Yellow card. Don't do it again. Also, if that's the case with Lithuania, (which I doubt,) that means that Lithuania was overpaying GazProm.[/quote]
Well, Lithuania used to had the most expensive gas supply in Europe.
As of end-2013, Lithuania was paying one of the highest prices for gas in the European Union at around $485 per 1,000 cubic metres.
The same source says its LNG terminal is sufficient. It seem Rushka and Gazprom were purposely using its monopoly in Lithuania to have the prises as higher as possible.

That's a chart showing oil falling from $110 to $60. That's almost a 50% decline. Russia's economy declined by 1.1 percent. When product A falls by 40%, and product B falls by 1%, we know that product B is not dependent on product A. We, (most NSGers,) know that. You might not, Dortmundia.
That is not how economy works. Russian economy will not collapse over night, nor it is imposible anywhere. It is happening through a period of time. Like now, economic decline of Rushka is in the second quartal of 2015 -4,6%. Next quartal it will be even higher and so on. You still did not answer my question. If Russian economy is not dependant on oil how come the recession in Russia started at the same time as the oil started to fall and how come it is not recovering?
You article is still from February. I would suggest you to read this http://www.themoscowtimes.com/business/ ... 19412.html
It's really not nitpicking. You said that an Orthodox country cannot have a successful economy. I pointed out that's bullshit, and showed you factual evidence. You proceeded to call that nitpicking, and regurgitate the oil bullshit that was discredited a while ago. Then again, you actually think that Ksenia Sobchak might come to power in Russia, why not go straight for John McCain?
Russia has no true economy nor industry, it is all about oil. Once oil is gone it will be back in the 90s. Also, please point me some other Orthodox country with successfull economy besides Russia (let us for the purpose imagine that rusia in fact has an economy)?
Yes, Russians loved father figures so much that we couped the Csar. Oh wait, that makes no sense.
They did not. It was the russian elite who removed the Tsar and replaced him with a new autocrat. The Russians are to government depended so it hard for them to have a democracy and economy.
