I'll go on saying two things
1) Given the level of inequality in Russia, I don't think Putin gives a !@#$ about the stock market.
2) The MICEX and Russian assets in general are highly volatile.

Yes that was all part of his master plan. Of course what's even dumber is you thinking that the MICEX is the same as the DJIA in terms of importance. Those EM indices are sure known for their stability and lack of volatility.
All voters are insane. Just an interesting and frightening tidbit, look who will soon be running Quebec again.
