Comments:Russian economy contracted by 7.9% in 2009

so what's so significant about the fall of 7 something percent?
Don't we beleive that, say Late-2000s recession in Europe is somewhat more significant, both in terms of the volume of the market in question, and of losses too? Or is it just we can't remain silent when a BRIC country economy is falling - at last?:)FeelSunny (talk) 21:39, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
