When do sanctions lift and how do you go about that part? I mean if it’s not done correctly are we just doomed to another round of generational hate to the west inside Russias borders? Perhaps that is just a given now that outside news seems to be cutoff and the government propaganda machine goes to work.
I don’t think I’m articulating my question/thoughts very well here but perhaps others can jump in to further elaborate on the thought process.

I don't think the sanctions really even start until March 26th (which would explain why Pointman has not noticed any difference yet). Once sanctions are eventually lifted, I would expect still a negative impact to the Russian economy (assuming Putin is still in charge) as international companies are not going to want to take the higher country risk associated with the regime.
