Everyone always complains about Russian domestic cheese (for good reason). My local farmer's market dairy family took a course in cheese making and now for several years has made homemade cheese (from their own amazing organic milk) that is as good or better than what I've had in the US or Europe. I don't even miss the Finnish imported cheese any more...

Excellent analysis of the sanctions issue, goes deeper than the "omg, we're about to be 100% self sufficient, make deals in yuan and US dollar gonna crash tomorroz LOLz".

Could be a 5D chess move: Putin provokes the West, knowing they can only do sanctions, no more US chips with surveillance technologies, then Russia stops being developed technologically, and eventually a nationwide QR code scanning system can't be implemented anymore! But the Soviet era nukes still work because they're made with analog technologies like attaching copper wire to a tin can and guiding it with a flashlight all the way to Washington. Then it's check mate!
