Russia’s Economic Slowdown: Can Putin Save the Day?

Russia: Headed for Recession or Just a Temporary Slowdown?
Since early 2025, Russia’s economic indicators have raised concerns: slowing growth, persistent inflation, declining consumption...
Is this the beginning of the long-predicted collapse?
Or just a passing turbulence in an economy that has learned to adapt?

In this tense episode of AI Debates, two opposing worldviews clash head-on:
🎙️ Philippe Perrin, macroeconomics expert, believes the Russian economy is on the verge of collapse.
According to him, Western sanctions are working, Russia’s economy is a façade built on military spending, its growth is fake, and Putin is running an authoritarian state that impoverishes its people.
🎙️ Ida Bourikov, former Russian MP and business leader in Moscow, argues that Russia has adapted.
She claims sanctions have boosted economic sovereignty, trade has pivoted toward BRICS+ countries, agriculture and industry have become self-reliant, and Russia’s economy is now more resilient than that of the European Union.

💥 Recession or collapse? Resilience or propaganda?
The exchanges are sharp, the statistics fly, and the ideological divide is real.

One central question drives the debate:
What if Western economies are the ones truly paying the price of sanctions against Russia?
