So what exactly did Stalinist USSR achieve except building a massive military industrial complex at a huge cost?
In healthy economies heavy and light industries develop naturally alongside each other (and they can grow with minimal help from the government). In USSR that was obviously not the case - you had massively over-invested heavy industries at the expense of almost non-existent consumer industry.
FDR got most of America (including remote rural areas) electrified in the span of about 10 years - and there was no Holodomor in USA.
"The key reason for the rouble weakening was the decision by the central bank to halt its forex repos. In that way, the central bank again clearly outlined that it doesn't want to see the rouble too strong," analysts at Nordea bank said in a note.

Although at 49 or 50 Rouble was too strong and Finance minister did mentioned they would like to weaken it further
The head of Russia’s Central Bank is determined to increase the country’s gold reserves to its previous levels in 2012-2013, from $360.5 billion up to $500 billion.

I am curious but also very worried how it will turn out. These regions are secluded from Moscow almost so it is ripe for issues. Add to that, Novosibirsk already has idiots so adding people whom are anti government to a government rally just to spite Putin can happen. Hopefully people are not so dumb. But seeing how many these losers can garner in Moscow and St.pete, gives me indication they may be able garner quite a few. Add in, they may bring their "people" in from other regions to add to their numbers in protests.
I have faith in Moscow but not much in Siberia and central Russia. They may try to aim for separatism already some called for that in Novosibirsk (mind you, only a few people did compared to over a million people, but still).
I think they are trying it already with subliminal messages like dancing with the stars - "where are you from?" "tomsk Siberia". No mention of Russia. They are trying to appeal the concept of a separate Siberia from Russia and they are going to try it during these elections with US help. So added sanctions is nowhere near as bad compared to losing Siberia because of a similar situation to Ukraine with Maiden. That must stop.
