Annotation
Three common perceptions of Russian affairs in mainstream reporting are: 1) President Putin is establishing a centralizedauthoritarian regime and economic reforms are not seriously on the agenda, 2) economic growth has faded fast, and even turned into contraction, and 3), real exchange rate appreciation is the main culprit behind the evaporation of economic growth. We believe all three perceptions to be largely erroneous and missing the point.
