I Predicted Russia’s 2025 Would Get Much Worse… Here’s What I Got Right (and Wrong)

In early 2025, I laid out my forecasts for Russia’s economy, society, and the war. Now that 2025 is over, I’m reviewing the receipts: what got worse exactly as predicted, what surprised me, and where I was wrong. We’ll cover the ruble, inflation, budget stress, sanctions workarounds, shortages, mobilization pressure, propaganda vs. reality, and what these 2025 results suggest for 2026. This is not hype—this is a year-end scorecard. I’m Konstantin, a Russian in exile and creator of Inside Russia. I talk to people inside the country every day, follow the numbers and the mood, and in this episode I’ll share my opinion on what happens to Russia after Putin and how to fix it. No hype — just facts, context and hard numbers. Sources: open public data and reporting (Russia Today, MinFin, CBR, Rosstat, business press).
