Exactly this.
Russia will appear strong, until it suddenly isn't.
They will appear able to continue fighting this war, until they suddenly aren't.
That slow creep of "we have to reduce military spending during wartime" and "We need to cut down on social welfare programs" and "you will have to make do with diminished stuff available in stores" and "We now make cars that are inferior to those made in the 1990's, but WE STILL ARE MAKING THEM!"
...until it suddenly doesn't work anymore.
Their infrastructure has been slowly crumbling since the Ukrainian war begun, their railway system (the thing keeping everything moving) uses European made rail cars to which there have not been new spare parts available since the war started is slowly running out of things like ball bearings and they have had to use inferior ones from China and such. Their agricultural production has taken a significant dip as war takes priority in things like fuel consumption (less fuel for tractors) spare parts (those tractors that break down are harder to fix) and sheer man-power to work the fields (mobiks are needed more than farmers).
No, they aren't starving, but their agricultural production has dropped every year since the war started.
Hell, even their VODKA PRODUCTION has dropped 10% just this year (although vodka consumption has increased 10%). Most likely due to foreign nations no longer buying their stuff.
Yes, they have stuff in their stores, but nobody has money to buy anything. It will be a return to the bad old days when everyone has their own garden and a chicken coop because you just can't trust that you might get some stuff from the market anymore.
It's a slow grind that will get worse little by little.
Until it suddenly doesn't work anymore. Those who saw the collapse of Soviet Union might remember how invincible it all seemed, until ...it all came down.
