Is Russia heading toward crisis?

Usually a crisis is triggered by some disaster, like the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008.

We can expect a slowdown of domestic demand because of the expectation of the crisis, but to avoid this we must stop scaring the public.

Will Russia reorient its energy exports from Europe to Asia?

Turning towards the East is not Russia’s willful decision – it cherishes its European market. It is not a forceful move either but an objective reality.
