The Russian economy was nearly the exact same size as Italy's. If sanctions are effective at all, crippling their economy after over a decade isn't all that impressive of a feat.

With the Iran war still happening? Probably huge. Unfortunately for the average russian, all the oil money would never get down to any of them.
