From Newsweek:
Russian Railway Networks Facing 'Imminent Collapse' - Report
In the fog of war, information and news has to be scrutinized by the reader. But I know first hand that sanctions have had an effect over there. Laughable but true, contact lenses - once a commonly imported item - cannot be found. The pretty Russian girls are very, very pissed off. And things like roofing nails aren't available in Russian stores or shops, no way for my wife's uncle to patch up the beloved dacha this year. Lack of little things cause big results. They knew it back in the year 1649 when this little ditty was written:
For want of a nail, the shoe was lost;
For want of a shoe, the horse was lost;
For want of a horse, the rider was lost;
For want of a rider, the battle was lost;
For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
