Countries go into recessions when they try to come off a wartime economy. The US had one lasting almost to 1950 in the wake of WWII. Great Britain took even longer. And they were on the winning side. The Soviet Union was a little different, a command economy has different rules. They didn't suffer very much during the Great Depression for similar reasons. The current Russian economy is not anywhere near as healthy as the US had back then, and their demographics sucks rocks through teeny, tiny little straws. Not to mention, a Pyrrhic victory would be a substantial improvement over what they are facing. With Ukraine dismantling key parts of the Russian economy, this could be the winter of their discontent. Definitely cold, dark and hungry. Lifting the sanctions will help, but at the moment even without sanctions it looks quite likely Russia is going to be a vassal state of China. With China either officially or unofficially regaining the territory they lost in the 1800s.
