S&P Global Russia Manufacturing PMI edged down to 48.0 in Oct 2025 from Sept’s 48.2,
- signaling a fifth consecutive month of contraction
- sharpest downturn since July

Imagine the bad situation in the civil sector as the man. PMI is measuring as well the military 🪖 driven part.

Money supply M2 increased from 121 to 123 billion in October.

I wonder then how November will look like. Normally the biggest jump was from November to December. So Dec may be even worse.

Russia Money Supply M2 includes M1 plus short-term time deposits in banks.

Let's see in some weeks if true. Here the volumes... from Crea.

See: bsky.app/profile/swis...
November 21, 2025 at 8:04 AM
India even had an uptick and China is stable from a revenue perspective.

From a volume perspective it's not really going down. South Korea even increased purchases like India recently 😡

Russian fossil fuel ⛽ exports are slowly edging below daily 500 Mio revenue. It's going into the right direction but extremely slowly 🤬

If you read that India, Turkey, China or others are no longer buying RU oil: --> this is wrong. They may buy less.

Corruption rank and trend of Russia versus Ukraine.

First image is Russia (Mordor) and second image is Ukraine over a period of 12 years.

Both are not good but Russia (154) is almost at the bottom of the race and Ukraine (105) is improving out of 180 countries.

Russia 3-Month Interbank Rate

The rate is still on 17.16%. It's the rate of interest charged on short-term loans made between banks. Very expensive if you need liquidity... and hardly over the official Russian Interest Rate in September of 17%.
November 17, 2025 at 1:55 PM
If true, then this is really significant. A second source & massive lower revenue streams needs to be seen in November. In October it was somewhat lower for crude oil but still above the 200 Mio daily revenue line (left upper chart) if you follow the CREA numbers. Crude is still 40% RU revenues!
November 17, 2025 at 1:36 PM
That would be very fast. The November exporting numbers will show if exports run smoothly. October on crude was not really good according to Crea. Fossil fuels were really bad. Let's see.

1/3 📉 OCT 2025: KREMLIN OIL CASH AT “RECORD LOW”

CREA shows 🇷🇺 fossil-fuel export revenue down to €524m/day, the lowest since the full-scale invasion. That’s still ~€16bn/month into Putin’s war budget, with crude €238m/day and oil products €114m/day even after drone strikes and new sanctions.

I want one too 🦩😇

So I hope the 🦩 will grow from a small number to the numbers on the right side soon 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Russia Corruption Rank

Yeah, it's going into the right direction ⬆️.

Mordor is getting corrupter and corrupter.

Russia is the 154 least corrupt nation out of 180 countries, according to the 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index reported by Transparency International. Can they even go to 170 or 180?

Lukoil 4000 could be in reach

Lukoil’s Volgograd refinery remains offline after a major Ukr drone strike. Damage to the CDU-5 primary unit and a hydrocracker forced a full halt; the site handled ~13.7 Mt in 2024 (~5% of Russia’s refining). Repairs, security hardening, and timelines remain unclear.

Russian fossil fuel exports
14-day running average in EUR

The trend is the Russians friend. This is revenue based and that's what finally counts to dry up the RU war machine.

That means less EU LNG imports. I hope this will reduce this then significantly in October and the close future.

Export Duty collections, rather than by significant increases in production or upstream taxes.

Gas revenues remain especially weak, with export volumes to Europe sharply curtailed and domestic regulated prices keeping margins low

Who buy it? See below. EU is still buying lots of pipeline gas & LNG

It's getting worse. I supposed more but I assume due to RU is still pouring money into manufacturing to keep on fighting.

Exports are shrinking!

Exports in Russia decreased to 31527 USD Million in August from 38027 USD Million in July of 2025.

Let's see how September and October will be as oil and oil product revenues are getting lower and lower.

The huge gasoline station ⛽ (Russia) is crumbling!

Visiting friends and doing sports at the coast. Very nice for water sports ☺️

Google Cabo de la Vela.

And nice nature in Guajira and Palomino for tourism. But tricky to reach due to low season.

Rusky Mir and Russian values at it's best... soon they may eat them 😇

Trump may 🐔 chicken out aka TACO again after Putin is calling him.

But 100 ATACMS would be nice as well and a good present 💝

But why the heck is Germany not sending over some Taurus missiles as some anyhow need to be depreciated in the closer future.

RUSSIAN real wage loss

Real wages in Russia rose by 3.8% year-on-year in August 2025, following a 6.6% surge in the prior month and below market forecasts of a 5.2% growth.

So only 3.8% more than a year ago. This is adjusted by low official inflation data so they took only 8%.
October 31, 2025 at 11:51 AM
Here with the volumes of 187.45 thousand tonnes at the end of Oct compared to e.g. 361.68 in Feb 2022

Not much left and I assume it will even go lower and at the end RU may break delivery contracts. This number has as well chemicals included so a certain amount will stay.

It's costly for Mordor!
