vc.ru seems like the russian equivalent of HN, it's been interesting to read the past few days: https://vc.ru/popular https://vc.ru/popular

  This is the first Russian site I’ve been to where the chrome translations are really poor - seemingly it is filled with colloquialisms/etc. From what I can tell the users are not at all fans of the sanctions, think they will not motivate the general population, and expect many us business to sell to intermediaries who will sell to Russia. It may be the translations, but it reminds me of political forums where the article is about x, but the top comment is about other hot political topic y. But also this comment is at the top of a thread of Russia’s self imposed sanctions: >The government hammers a new nail into the coffin of the Russian economy every day.

    One of the odd characteristics about the sanctions is that the vast majority of them are completely optional. Tons of businesses are cutting ties when they don’t even legally have to.
