unfortunately Russia is so large, no flights over Russia would have more impact on international travel than you'd like.
Complete travel blockade is also not something major airlines would want, because of "use it or lose it" gate slots at many busy airports.
majority of brands in Russia, much like in a lot of other countries are made in China, so good luck with that. Besides, most companies don't give 2 shits about international politics and their margins are so thin, they ain't about to lose x% of their revenue. Oh, and shell companies also exist.
lastly, all the actions you are suggesting will impact regular-ass Russian people, that have fuck all to do with politics.
- VincentEvans 5y agoThe point of what I am suggesting is to impact regular Russian people who broadly support Putin and his policies.
- avmich 5y agoThey don't support him - Putin didn't have fair elections, not at least for decades, and would certainly lose in 2018 if not for the corrupted election officials. And the level of support is dropping - wait until Ukraine will start supplying dead bodies back to Russia, and remember how enthusiastic Soviet people were when similar things happened in Afghanistan.

- csee 5y agoHalf of them support a Ukraine invasion when asked in an anonymous cnn poll. There is a lot of support unfortunately. Don't be naive, they have been brainwashed and many actually buy into it.
- aaaaaaaaata 5y ago> they have been brainwashed > and many actually buy into it Choose. Those are not compatible, colloquially.
- the_mar 5y agoI dont know a single person supporting him, idk what are you on about
- VincentEvans 5y agoI believe that you personally don’t know anyone, but that doesn’t hold up nationally. Polls indicate 69% of Russians approve Putin’s government. https://www.statista.com/statistics/896181/putin-approval-rating-russia/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/896181/putin-approval-ra... It’s not hard to find this information. Nationalism in Russia, whipped up by mostly government-controlled media is at all time high.
