A depressing read with things like  wide distrust of the vaccines  and  keep the economy working.

Russia on Saturday recorded 1,000 Covid-related deaths in a single day for the first time since the pandemic began. The figure had been rising all week, with the Kremlin blaming the Russian people for not taking up vaccination. Only about a third of the population has had a jab, amid wide distrust of the vaccines. Russia's figure of 222,000 Covid deaths is the highest in Europe, with another 33,000 infections reported on Saturday. The government has avoided bringing in strict restrictions because it says it needs to keep the economy working.

The charts on the linked page show the effect of the fourth wave,     Interestingly the graph of cases shows a decline after the 3rd wave peak, but for deaths it just plateaued before starting to rise.   This probably means that there was a decline in testing rather than the case load going down.
