Abstract
The paper asseses, under the logical point of view, if Eu and Usa sanctions may have had direct, relevant and measureable consequences on Russian economy. The conclusion is that, notwithstanding the start of Russian economy worsening coincided roughly with the inception of sanctions, these latter could not be the reason of such economic downturn. As a matter of fact, the nature of measures foreseen by the sanctions is such, that they could not produce any evident and relevant direct consequences on Russian economy.
