Cutting off your nose to spite your face. The Soviet Union struggled with attempts at Autarky, Russia now heading in that direction would be suicide

The whole idea of all actions taken within last few years is not to follow the same route as its losing strategy longterm. That should be rather obvious without any in-depth analysis, said sactions doesn't change much here. In fact it is the States who is playing proactive role in current political crisis, while Russia is among the forces who is desperately trying to keep status quo, but imo will eventually fail in that. Understanding that it won't end without a war or its equivalent is growing.
