Ukraine crisis has temporarily come to an end with Russia taking over Crimea. ANBOUND's senior researcher He Jun believes that Russia only gains short term political victory and the long-term trouble has just begun. The biggest threat for Russia is the economic sanctions by Europe and America with strategic target to suppress Russia’s economy via long-term sanctions, which in turn will create significant impact on Russia’s society and politics. Russia’s domestic politics will not be stable if the economy keeps declining, thus the call for change is likely to be heard across Russia again.
