Afaik, if there's one thing Russia is actually self-sustained at, it's food and energy. Would there really be shortages of food because of the sanctions?

Of course.

Famine is the natural stable state for Russia.

Russia was on the brink of famine in 1990-1991. Putin's political career started from stealing and reselling humanitarian aid from USA in St Petersburg. He was saved from prosecution by mayor Sobchak. That's why his daughter Ksenia Sobchak always got preferential treatment.
