Abstract

Western governments adopted extensive financial sanctions against Russia at the very beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with the freezing of Russia’s foreign currency reserves being particularly prominent. While these sanctions initially had a major impact and the ruble’s exchange rate crashed, Russia developed successful counterstrategies that eventually stabilized the ruble again. The question therefore arises whether financial sanctions are effective at all as a means of exerting pressure on Russia. The article attempts to answer this question by analyzing Russia’s particular conditions, its countermeasures and Nazi Germany’s fiscal policy methods.
