I'm speaking to my friend in Moscow and she says it's getting pretty bad there. The price of basic things like milk etc goes up everyday and they're shutting down all independent TV and radio.
She can't access her savings in Euros/dollars and can only use russian currency, which is getting worse and worse.
A lot of the population, especially older folk are completely brainwashed. Half her friends have already fled the country. Some others are trying to pretend like nothing is happening and others are still trying to protest but people are more and more afraid because of jail sentences. People on the streets generally look scared and afraid, avoiding eye contact etc.
Says her friend works high up in government and nobody expected this to happen, it was kept very secret. Apparently only 5 people have close access to Putin and they're all very much under his influence. All the elite are scared of him.
