Why hasn't Ireland nationalised Aughinish Alumina?

|
By Jason Corcoran 
| Irish Examiner
At a presentation in Dublin last Thursday to Irish executives and entrepreneurs, I half-joked that perhaps one of Putin’s oligarchs holds kompromat over the Irish Government. How else to explain Ireland's continuing deference to Rusal, the aluminium giant founded by oligarch Oleg Deripaska? The remark was made partly in jest.

I was playing Jenga with my young son in Dublin when I received a threat from Moscow

|
By Jason Corcoran 
| The Irish Times
It was January 2023, almost a year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. I was sitting on the floor of my home in Dublin with my four-year-old son, Farid, setting up a game of Jenga. My phone buzzed on the couch beside me as I topped off the tower of blocks. It was a message from an anonymous account on Telegram, the encrypted messaging app widely used in Russia. “Hi Jason, are you in Moscow at the moment? ” The account had no name, no photograph. Just a blank avatar.

Sanctioned Russian Tycoons Are Still Profiting From Industries in Europe

|
By Jason Corcoran 
| The Moscow Times
When President Vladimir Putin gathered Russia’s top businessmen in the Kremlin for a wartime whip round on Thursday, there was no ambiguity about what was happening: the only way to have industrial wealth in Russia is to be aligned with the state’s objectives. According to The Bell, figures including longtime Putin ally Oleg Deripaska agreed to help bankroll the war in Ukraine.

Moscow's De-Dollarization Dreams Meet Pragmatic Reality

|
By Jason Corcoran 
| The Moscow Times
For years, the Kremlin has thundered that the age of the dollar was ending. The greenback was a weapon, we were told — an instrument of pernicious American coercion that Russia would cast aside as it built a new, sovereign financial order. De-dollarization was destiny, not just policy. Moscow would lead the world toward a multipolar system where Washington no longer held the whip hand. State media treated the dollar’s decline as not just inevitable, but imminent. Now comes the twist.

Visa Bans Don't Hurt the Russians With True Power

|
By Jason Corcoran 
| The Moscow Times
The European Union has just banned Russians from obtaining multi-entry Schengen visas, billing the move as tightening the screws on the Kremlin. In practice, it does the opposite. Many of Russia’s elites still glide through Europe on “golden passports” and “golden visas,” boarding their private jets without a care in the world. Ordinary Russians, meanwhile, now face soaring costs and tighter restrictions just to visit family, study abroad, or take a holiday. This new policy may look tough.

Can Russians Be Trusted With Dollars? The Finance Ministry Doesn't Think So.

|
By Jason Corcoran 
| The Moscow Times
Russian President Vladimir Putin has opened a new front against his own citizens. His latest weapon is not artillery or propaganda, but something more subtle and suffocating: control over every dollar, every euro, every door still leading to the outside world. According to sources cited by Interfax, the new proposal from Russia’s Ministry of Finance would hand the president sweeping power to ban or restrict any foreign currency transactions by Russian residents.

Putin nie może ukryć kryzysu paliwowego. Upokorzenie Rosji mierzone jest w baryłkach i rublach [ANALIZA]

By Jason Corcoran 
| Onet.pl
Hurtowa cena benzyny wzrosła od stycznia o ponad 50 proc. — osiągając rekordowy poziom. Koszty oleju napędowego wzrosły tymczasem o prawie 10 proc. w ciągu zaledwie miesiąca, co sprawia, że paliwo staje się coraz mniej dostępne dla zwykłych Rosjan.

Putin Can't Hide Russia's Gasoline Crisis

|
By Jason Corcoran 
| The Moscow Times
Gasoline in Russia is being rationed from its western Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad to Vladivostok in the Far East. The nation that parades as an energy superpower cannot keep its own drivers on the road. In some regions, motorists are limited to 10-20 liters per visit — if they can find gasoline at all. In others, only diesel remains. Prices have soared as well.

Europa się chwieje. Trump może ją pogrążyć. "Nieświadomy lub świadomy sojusznik Moskwy"

|
By Jason Corcoran 
| Onet.pl
Najnowszy pomysł prezydenta Stanów Zjednoczonych Donalda Trumpa dotyczący nałożenia dalszych sankcji na Rosję ma zaskakujący haczyk: NATO musi najpierw nałożyć na Chiny cła w wysokości od 50 proc. do 100 proc. Polska w centrum wielkiego przetasowania. Prof. Gacek: według Chin podcinamy gałąź, na której siedzimy Na pierwszy rzut oka wydaje się to śmiałym posunięciem, które pozwala pokonać dwóch przeciwników za jednym zamachem.

Trump’s Sanctions Playbook: Impossible Demands, Guaranteed Delays

|
By Jason Corcoran 
| The Moscow Times
United States President Donald Trump’s latest wheeze for imposing further sanctions on Russia comes with a jaw-dropping catch: NATO must first impose tariffs of 50% to 100% on China. On the surface, it sounds like a bold move that takes on two adversaries in one stroke. But scratch it, and what you find is less Winston Churchill and more Baldrick from the farcical BBC sitcom Blackadder — a “cunning plan” so hopelessly self-defeating that only its author could think it brilliant.

Putin’s Shanghai Bond Bonanza Is a Pipe Dream

By Jason Corcoran 
| The Moscow Times
Russian President Vladimir Putin strutted into this week’s Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit vowing to free the world from “financial neo-colonialism.” His remedy? Joint SCO bonds and shiny new institutions to rival the IMF and World Bank. The problem with this is not the ambition. It is the absence of trust.

Dobra wiadomość, towarzysze! Przyszłość już nadeszła — i wygląda bardzo podobnie do roku 1985. Starszy prawodawca Władimir Gutenew, który jest również przewodniczącym Komisji Przemysłu i Handlu Dumy Państwowej, wezwał niedawno Rosjan do przygotowania się na "regularne i konieczne" wyłączenia internetu. "Jesteśmy przyzwyczajeni do płacenia kartami lub smartfonami i stałego dostępu do internetu. Ale teraz ważne jest, aby zaakceptować tymczasowe ograniczenia jako konieczność" — powiedział.

Good news, comrades! The future is here — and it looks a lot like 1985. Senior lawmaker Vladimir Gutenev, who also heads the State Duma’s Industry and Trade Committee, recently urged Russians to prepare for “regular and necessary” internet shutdowns. “We’re used to paying with cards or smartphones and having constant connectivity,” he said.

"Polityczny teatr". Donald Trump może mieć mniej kart, niż się wydaje. Moskwa wciąż trzyma go w garści

Kiedy Donald Trump ogłosił plany skrócenia terminu wprowadzenia sankcji wtórnych wobec firm prowadzących interesy z Rosją, Kreml zareagował wzruszeniem ramion. Stoickie oświadczenia płynęły z ust moskiewskich urzędników, którzy odrzucili ten ruch jako kolejny blef Zachodu i twierdzili, że są w pełni przygotowani — nawet pomimo zbliżającego się nowego terminu 8 sierpnia.

Trump’s Break-Up With Putin Is a Slap on the Wrist, Not a Knock-Out Punch

|
By Jason Corcoran 
| The Moscow Times
When Donald Trump announced plans to shorten the deadline before secondary sanctions kick in on companies doing business with Russia, the Kremlin responded with a shrug. Stoic statements flowed from Moscow officials, dismissing the move as yet another Western bluff and insisting they are fully prepared — even as the new deadline looms on August 8. But the markets were not fooled. The ruble sank almost 3% against the dollar.

Russian Banks Will Fall. The Question Is How Hard.

|
By Jason Corcoran 
| The Moscow Times
For more than three years, Russia’s banking system has defied gravity. Crippled by Western sanctions, cut off from global financial markets and deprived of foreign capital, it has operated in a sealed economic vacuum. But it will not last. The ruble wobbled but held and the financial system continues to function. This improbable stability has been largely credited to Elvira Nabiullina, the astute technocratic head of the Central Bank. But illusions do not last forever.

Putin’s Davos Reduced to Taliban, Nepo Babies and Pariah States

Once hailed as Russia’s answer to Davos, this year’s St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) feels more like a trade show for pariah states, Kremlin nepo babies and contrarians than a hub of global dealmaking.

Armenia Is Breaking Up With Russia - And Putin Can’t Stop It

For decades, Armenia was one of Russia’s most reliable post-Soviet allies — a small but loyal partner nestled in the volatile South Caucasus. But that marriage of convenience is now rapidly unravelling. Today, Yerevan is no longer whispering discontent. It is shouting it from the rooftops. And Moscow? It is scrambling to salvage the remains of its diminishing influence with soft power schemes and desperate political manoeuvers. The writing is now on the wall.

Trump-Putin Call Signals Risky Shift Toward Appeasement Through Trade

|
By Jason Corcoran 
| The Moscow Times
In a recent call with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump made one thing clear: once the war in Ukraine is over, Washington should focus on “large-scale trade” with Russia. Forget sanctions. Forget holding Russia accountable for its war crimes. Trump’s post-war vision is all about business. This dangerous shift toward appeasement threatens Western unity and exposes companies to serious risks. Trump’s call for “large-scale trade” is nothing new.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s policies, once seen as a potential lifeline for his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, are finally delivering a harsh and unintended punishment to Moscow. In a stunning irony, Trump’s tariff war and reckless trade policies have sent Russian stocks plummeting and oil prices crashing to their lowest levels in four years — potentially sinking the Russian economy in the very way he sought to avoid.

But do not be fooled — this is far from a breakthrough.

Reopening the Skies to Russian Flights Would Be a Mistake

The U.S. is reportedly considering reopening its airspace for direct Russian flights, a move that would throw a lifeline to Putin’s war economy and a ticket back to Western luxury for the elites. If Aeroflot, the Kremlin’s flagship carrier, regains access to American airspace, the EU would likely be pressured to follow suit, unraveling sanctions across the board.

This isn’t just theory -- people are now stealing butter to resell on the black market, and supermarkets have resorted to anti-theft casings typically reserved for caviar or fine whiskey.
