Inflation for Russians is just Tuesday, and the importance of buying new cars is somewhat overinflated for everyday lives.

Since you appear to be commenting my every comment, I have to tell you this. You seem to be wishfully dreaming that sanctions are more effective than they really are. So far, their impact was very light. As a Russian, I'd love them to have a way more severe impact, as I would happily endure great hardships if this would weaken Putin's fascist regime. However, so far, I don't see any evidence of a significant impact of sanctions.

I'm also very unhappy with EU countries imposing an extremely counter-productive measures like visa bans, and seeing how rabid and hateful crowd cheers for them is even sadder, because these people's actions benefit Putin, and do not hurt him at all.

As a Russian, I remember being trolled by the following joke, very popular among pseudo-liberals and other russophobic lot:

"When lords will demand that every Russian must have a boot their asses by saturday, they will form a line in Friday to get this over with faster."

I can't stop laughing over how ironic this whole thing turned out.

No.

In the US, if you want, you can buy and legally own a tank or other military vehicle.

But in Russia you still can't, despite all the mobilizations :(
