I'd stay focused on the idea that the economy will show firmness in the next few months, if not the next few days.

As long as the oil market remains buoyant, as it does for other commodities, then the Russian economy will prosper. The consumption boom is growing on the back of the wealth being produced by commodity growth.

The purpose firm is equal to the deed.

Steadfastness is a noble quality, but unguided by knowledge or humility it becomes rashness or obstinacy.

Real firmness is good for anything; strut is good for nothing

The greatest firmness is the greatest mercy
