I don't know how useful or interesting it is to know what has happened a handful of times it has been done before. Each instance is complex and unique and the same history is available to everyone involved... so it is very likely that things will be different in significant ways every time.
What is happening now is rather easy to see. The US is claiming that these are designed to hinder Russian oligarchs in the long term. They're not designed to take effect in months or years.
The problem with that is the Russian people will be impacted immediately and as unemployment and poverty grows, the Russian people will be more dependent on the government for everything much more so than they already are. This just gives them a very large population (145 million) on their side with not much to lose... which will put Europe in immense danger... which means good business for the American weapons industry, the puppetmasters of Biden.
