The Fall of Russian Football: Effects of International Sanctions

Until recently I lived in Moscow and I could see Spartak Moscow’s stadium from my apartment. Even before moving to Moscow I was interested in Russian football and dubbed ЦСКА my Russian team. I was probably one of the very few foreigners that in addition to my main team, I would watch the Russian teams when they played in UEFA competitions but mainly ЦСКА. I have fond memories of them beating Real Madrid. So it’s sad to see the demise of Russian football. The Russian World Cup was also my favourite World Cup by far and it peaked my interest in Russia even more. I celebrated that win over Spain massively. Intriguing maybe, I also watch Shakhtar Donetsk when they play in the Champions League. Hopefully one day they can return to their amazing stadium. This whole situation is just massively depressing in all aspects.

Well, Russia is mostly in Asia in terms of land, but in terms of population 90% are still in the European part. Even more so in football - in top division rn there are 15 teams from European part and only one from Asian (Ural Ekaterinburg). And also this is probably not my last video about the effect of sanctions on various areas of life in Russia. I dislike the usual generic narrative "everything is awful, Russia is going to collapse tomorrow because of the sanctions" but I'm really interested in making videos on the effect of sanctions on different industries in Russia (auto industry, tourism industry, live music industry etc)

Nice video about the current state of Russian football. I have a question that hopefully you’ll be able to answer. Why isn’t Russia a power house in football? You would think after hosting the World Cup would have elevated Russian football to new heights but it hasn’t. Hell, Russia’s domestic league is in the UEFA competing against the Big 5 and they can’t challenge them. I’m curious to know why

[@Setarko]

Well, personally I think it is because of really bad infrastructure (kids have no football fields to play on for like 6-7 months a year), lack of attention to youth coaches and support for junior league football. Also 90% of Russian football teams are state-owned which makes the league somewhat toxic - they preferred to spend money on some old stars instead of promoting their own talented players. Still, Russian league is/was 6th-10th in Europe which in my opinion is totally fine. It could even challenge French league for a place in top 5 some 5 years ago.

[@Setarko]

Well, yes. I personally do think the rest of the world are being dicks. Not for the fact of sanctions but for the way they are implemented. When countries gladly buy Russian oil and gas (and therefore directly sponsor the production of Russian weapons) and at the same time these very countries ban people who want to run away from Russian goverment from entering - they are being dicks. For 20 years Europe was happy with that sweet sweet money coming from Russian oligarchs (the money that was basically stolen from Russia). And now they are upset with Russia - but they decided to punish ordinary people and not the government itself. Do you really want to isolate Russia and show your disagreement with Putin's policies? No problem, you have every right to do so. Full ban on imports from Russia would be a big hit. But do you really think that turning off Visa and MasterCard for ordinary Russians is the way to hit Russia's military budget? Or maybe the Russians football clubs will be outraged because they were banned from playing football in the European Cups and overthrow Putin? Ridiculous.

[@Azz156]

@@Setarko I just want to say first i enjoy your videos and have been a subscriber for the past 2 years, so thanks for the reply. But i think you have the wrong perspective with these sanctions, Putin knew exactly the cost of this war and what the sanctions would be and invaded Ukraine anyway. so if you want to point fingers at the dicks then there's no bigger dick then the one that calls himself the Russian president. so maybe start there first. Secondly just imagine life for all the hundreds of thousands people who have since died or will die because of this war and your only worried about things like Russian football teams and whether Russians can use their visas to buy a new iPhone?, over 100 000 Russians have so far died in Ukraine and probably the same number of Ukrainian soldiers have too. the problem isn't with the west no matter how much Russian propaganda tries to tell you that it is, Putin started this war not the west. The true cost of this war hasn't even started for Russia yet, prepare for years of stagnation and isolation only the likes of North Korea and Iran can relate to. edit: In regards to the west buying oil and gas Germany was stupid for allowing themselves to become completely reliant on Russian energy and will take time for it to find other suppliers, but as of now Russian oil is now banned in the EU and capped to $62 us dollars for everyone else (at the moment ural oil is around $55 a barrel). As for the gas well that is almost completely stopped with the exception of Bulgaria and Turkey. Russia lacks sufficient LNG facilities to sell to non European markets and can only ship i think around 10% of what it produces, so if enough of a backlog builds up gazprom and other suppliers will be forced to shut off the well's destroying them in the process. to top that off Russia lacks the expertise and western materials to build a sufficient LNG port facilities or repair the frozen/destroyed oil extraction facilities. So my point is these sanctions were designed originally to make this war as painful as possible, Putin agreed to its costs and ultimately the Russian people will bare the cost too.

[@Setarko]

Well, I never said that I am only worried about football teams and visas. Ofc wars are horrible, and this particular one is not an exception. And I know well enough who started it, thank you. The fact that one president is a dick doesn't negate the fact that on the other side are also dicks. And yes, Putin knew the price and agreed to it, guess why? Because he himself and his friends are not affected by these sanctions at all. All their palaces and fortunes remain with them and they live in exactly the same comfort as they did a year ago. You asked for my opinion about sanctions - I answered. And yes, I do think there is a major hypocrisy when it comes to Russian people. When people who literally went to jail for trying to protest in 2011, 2012, 2019 and in 2022 are not allowed to cross the EU borders or work in western companies because "muh sanctions" and "go overthrow Putin, and then we'll talk". Let's put it this way - either you think there is democracy in Russia and Putin really has the support of 70+% of the people in Russia. Okay then, it's fair - in that case all the citizens of the country are indeed to blame and deserve to be isolated. But then why don't all the international organizations recognize the results of the elections in Russia, say there is no freedom of speech and call Putin a tyrant and dictator? Huh? So then we agree that Russia is an authoritarian country where power is in the hands of a ruling class that has repressed any protest against it by the harshest measures, and where you can go to jail for any dissent? So if that's the case then why are you punishing common people? It's good that you said about North Korea and Iran. I'm sure all North Koreans are terrible maniacs who want to nuke everyone and they deserve to live in a concentration-camp country for 70 years. After all, they chose their government, right? edit: and yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for sympathy. If I wasn't Russian and didn't live in Russia, I wouldn't give a damn about ordinary Russians either. Everyone should have compassion for those people whose lives have been destroyed by war first and foremost. But yes, it's my opinion that as an instrument for stopping the war these sanctions are a joke. If it's an instrument to make Russia a big North Korea then sure, they are more successfull, but then you should stop pretending that you are punishing Putin and just say it outright.

[@Azz156]

@@Setarko There's a reason why the borders are shut from what i under stand they just don't want any more Russians living in there country's, since Putin loves to use that as a pretext to invade like with Georgia and now Ukraine. There's some other smaller reasons like refugees cost the state money to care for and they would rather keep that money aside for real refugees from Ukraine. not draft dodging Z patriots who scrape the Z sticker off there car window so they can get across the border. What do you honestly expect from the west? some how exclusively sanction Putin and his war criminals but leave the 140 million Russians completely unscathed? don't be dumb you know as well as i do you cant sanction a country without sanctioning its people. the people are the economy of their respective country. also do i have to bring up Putins ratings? he illegally annexed Crimea boom 90% approval rating, pre war Putin ratings drop to 61% boom war starts and now its like 85% approval. from our perspective outside Russia it looks like the vast majority believe the rubbish on RT and fully support the war. its like your asking us to feel pity for the average German during ww2, "oh its so sad they cant go on holiday or buy coke from the shops" I'm like "they started the war what the fuck did they expect?". you should be grateful that you don't have to worry about Iranian drones buzzing over head or your grandmother being raped, all you got to worry about is saying "special military operation" instead of war and puting a z sticker on your car. but like i said before i do enjoy your videos and would hate for anything to happen to you, leave Russia now before the second draft starts. they will shut the borders this time.
