As if somebody was very cautious not to spoil the SPIEF 2026 party.

In case you’re curious, it would cost you

Congratulations, people aren’t focused on Elvira Nabiullina’s absence at SPIEF any more.
Day 1576 of my 3 day war. Russian oil production is booming....

I remain a master strategist.

7/ By now, the warblogger community seems to be getting tired of the glossy but insubstantial hype around the SPIEF. 'mgslv' comments:

"‘Shown at the SPIEF’, ‘presented at the SPIEF’, ‘announced at the SPIEF’ – fair enough."

I will now tell the 5th annual SPIEF in a row that Russia will win this year.

“Due to falling demand and expensive loans, there is a risk of a complete shutdown of metallurgical plants in the country, Shevelev said at SPIEF-2025…”

At this point the 2024 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) is going on.

On one hand, a LOT of people are thinking the key rate should go up.

On the other hand, a key rate increase on the last day of SPIEF doesn’t look good.

Ukraine blew up Russia's Saint Petersburg oil terminal with drones on the first day of Putin's important SPIEF 2026 event.

‼️ Russia: “Elon Musk's father plans to attend the 2026 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).”

How much is he charging?

The burning oil terminal at the background for the attendees of the Saint Petersburg International economic forum (SPIEF) is quite a fitting picture of current state of Russia.

Ukraine humiliated Russia by successfully attacking Saint Petersburg's port infrastructure on the first day of Putin's important SPIEF 2026 event.
June 4, 2026 at 11:54 PM
Meanwhile in Russian Media…

“The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the SPIEF will be "overcrowded."”

The St.Petersburg International Economic Forum?

The entire city of Saint Petersburg, Russia, received a front row seat for the destruction of the local oil terminal. This includes also the attendees of St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), which will start today.

SPIEF 2022: Kyiv in 3 days.

SPIEF 2023: Sanctions don't work.

SPIEF 2024: Russia is stronger than ever.

SPIEF 2025: Victory is near.

SPIEF 2026: a museum of expired forecasts.

Putin's parallel universe keeps expanding. Reality keeps refusing entry.

The 2025 SPIEF is turning out to be a real mess

I love it

💥 Saint Petersburg Port Oil Terminal struck by Ukraine. The city sky is now covered in black smoke.
17km from SPIEF in downtown.

If so, it’s will bring wonderful ambiance to SPIEF

Some might wonder how Russia’s ‘successful economic model’, so proudly advertised at this year’s SPIEF, is doing.

5/ "These very same brothers were greeted with great fanfare at the St. Petersburg airport, with bread and salt, the song "Mother Earth," and Cossacks – they were visiting the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) this year. Why? No one knows.

Russian Railways also picked up a 19 billion ruble syndicated loan with a repayment period of 3 years at the SPIEF.
‼️ Russia: “Russian Railways attracted a syndicated loan of 19 billion rubles to finance the investment program”

This is in addition to the 400 billion reported yesterday from Alfa bank.

Definitely read the quote tweeted thread for details on this overall mess.

I just remembered one of the excuses given for not raising the rate at the end of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF)

👉 Leap Day
