| Summary: | In July 2014, a report by S.Yu. Glazyev “How Not to Lose in the War” was published, which deals with the state of affairs in the Russian economy and the conflict with Ukraine.

Glazyev in his report proposes a set of specific measures that could contribute to the efficient resolution of contradictions existing in Russia
