I'm telling you my first hand experience in central Russia. There are clearly fuel shortages today, with multiple gas stations I went through having no fuel, or having exuberant prices. I think it's short term also partly because of the media coverage and people buying fuel in advance. In Crimea there were reports of a kilometre queues of people waiting at gas stations to refuel. And they had to introduce quotas of 30 liter per person maximum

Right, you're talking about panic buying, but that's not an indication of actual structural problem. And yeah given the bad media coverage close to election, I can't imagine that's gonna get addressed quickly.
