Russia also experienced a huge voluntary exodus of brands, comparable in scale only to the boycott of South Africa that was credited with hastening the fall of apartheid.More than 1,300 companies announced they would exit Russia or curtail their operations there, according to a tally by the Yale School of Management.

Russia’s economy, however, has weathered the pressure campaign better than expected and there is a growing acknowledgement that the expectations sanctions would bring Moscow to heel were misplaced.Russia’s gross domestic product (GDP) declined by only 2.1 percent in the first year of the war, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) – compared with a predicted 8.5 percent contraction – and has been growing ever since.Russians’ real disposable income decreased by just 1 percent compared with 2021, according to an analysis by the Brussel-based think tank Bruegel, less than the decline seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.

At least initially, imports took a considerable hit.According to estimates by Brugel, the value of all imported goods fell by half in the first four months after the invasion compared with the four months prior.

But since then, imports have made up much of that lost ground. For all of 2022, imports fell by only 8 percent, according to Russia’s central bank, although independent researchers have estimated a sharper decline of 15-16 percent.

In 2023, imports reached 99.7 percent of pre-war levels, according to the Russian central bank.The court turned down an appeal by the group Apache Stronghold on Tuesday, keeping in place a lower court’s ruling that would allow the project to move forward.

But Resolution Copper, a subsidiary of theconglomerates Rio Tinto and BHP, believes the site sits atop the second largest copper deposit in the world.
