This is how economies collapse. Bank runs get out of control from people pulling their deposits because they worry if their money is safe. People wonder if their bank deposits can be seized by the state for bogus reasons. (in this case, “fraud”, which is now very loosely defined) (sort of like how Law Enforcement in this country does “Civil Asset Forfeiture”) The graph shows they pulled their money out in 2022 when the war first started, then put it back after a few months. But I think it is going to be different this time, as the Muscovites endure hardships like power outages and gasoline shortages on a daily basis something that did not occur in 2022)

Yet another piece of evidence that Russia is finally running out of options and the line from Hemingway is going to apply here:

“How did you go bankrupt?"
Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”
