Zadornov spoke about the Chekhov's Gun scenario for the economy in 2026

Global crisis situations and a possible fall in the US stock market may pose a threat to the Russian economy in 2026-2027 due to falling commodity prices. This was announced on November 10 by Mikhail Zadornov, an economist, former head of the Ministry of Finance and Otkritie Bank.

"For Russia, this entails direct consequences in the form of falling prices for raw materials, not only for oil and gas, but also for non-ferrous and ferrous metals, chemical products. This will affect not only economic growth, but also budget revenues. Of course, the risk of turbulence in the American and global markets is not a "black swan", it is visible. Rather, it is a "Chekhov's gun" that will fire sooner or later," he noted in a column for RBC.
