economy of Russia
Let an agent explain the Russian economy, relay structure, sectors, regional variation, history and sanctions from statistical, IMF, World Bank and research sources with contested assessments attributed, describe the named regional and sectoral topics, and distinguish the economy of Russia from Soviet economic history, state budget policy, specific companies and individual investment decisions.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the Russian economy, relay structure, sectors, regional variation, history and sanctions from statistical, IMF, World Bank and research sources with contested assessments attributed, describe the named regional and sectoral topics, and distinguish the economy of Russia from Soviet economic history, state budget policy, specific companies and individual investment decisions.
The economy of Russia, a large, resource-rich mixed economy heavily dependent on exports of oil, natural gas, metals and grain, with major industry, energy, construction and defence sectors and economic activity concentrated in Moscow and resource regions such as Bashkortostan and Arkhangelsk Oblast, shaped by the Soviet planned economy, the privatisation and crises of the 1990s including the 1998 default, growth during the 2000s commodity boom, and extensive Western sanctions after the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022; figures such as GDP, inflation and the effects of sanctions are contested and should be checked against current sources, with assessments attributed, and nothing here is investment advice.
What it is for: Understanding a national economy.
It can be explain structure and sectors; relay history and regional variation; present sanctions assessments with attribution; point to current data sources.
