@facten - what else does Russia export besides oil and gas? Vacuum tubes and nested dolls? Maybe I've just missed 'em, but I've never seen much in the way of 'Made in Russia' items over the years when I've bought any kind of items....  As for Russian vacuum tubes, I've got a lot of tube gear, but I can happily live without 'em. 

Google and you’ll find out, but here is a link with major items; yes not much in pure consumer goods ala China

What does the US import and export from Russia? - AS.com

Again, Audiogon is not the place that is going to resolve the indignation voiced above relative to either country, but whatever. Enough said on my end

This is a better to scale rendering of what Russia exports. Treemaps are the best.
Just saying....

All the best,

Facten, good points. about the limited number of Russian imports we are being asked to not buy by our politicians. .People in all walks of life seem to be stepping up to the plate on their own to stop buying Russian imports, more than asked by our leaders, which is lovely to see

We all can’t be be bankers or owners of big businesses which have real clout. But in the small ways we can personally contribute, many are willing and able to do what they can. The politicians could catch up a bit in what they are asking of us.. At least politicians are doing things like you mentioned, which is also good to see. And most of us are pulling in the same direction for once.

Whitefishpoint1175, my hats off to you for your going over to Poland to help Ukranian refugees. Thank you for your service. It would be interesting to hear about what you witnessed and heard there.
