With surveys through Dec. 2023, we compare Russians’ pre- and post-invasion well-being, spending, and savings. Happiness is up for ethnic Russians and residents of regional capitals. Household finances are more stable across the board. Durable spending is down.

Got it. I'll buy it as a spring birthday present then rather than as an Xmas present. Congratulations, btw. It looks like a great book!
