You cannot prove that the wheels of the Russian economy are running smoothly just by posting a news source link and an inflation chart published by the Russian state authority. Any individual who has taken Economics 101 or has basic economic literacy can tell you that these data are insufficient.
The chart shows a clear trend, something you argued against, and you're trying to slant this as false or misrepresented, by 'russian state authority'. It's not as if I was saying it's 'running smoothly' but certainly better than any western counterparts, and its consistently dropping for months.
Moreover, Russia is a raw material exporter. This is the reason why inflation in Russia can still remain at low levels despite the sanctions, and I did not argue the opposite. The Russian people may find potatoes, vodka and bread, but they cannot find many products such as spare parts, phone, tablet computer components or they have to buy them at very high prices.
Any data? Anything at all? The 'insignificant' chart I posted actually shows this to be a gross, and obvious distortion, but I'll wait on your sources and see if you have anything more than bad propagandist conjecture.
As for the European Union's lng purchase, the data I have shows that the eu has made the lowest lng imports in the last month since october 2021 1.100 million cubic meters (august)
Your last month is August, 2-3 months ago, and has zero context. Here's the original article the propaganda rag used to sound alarm over the RECORD BREAKING LNG Profits:

In effect even as imports are down, they are making RECORD BREAKING PROFITS. But that's not significant enough to say that Russian economy is doing great, selling gas for record profits.
It also represents a very small amount of LNG for the transport of Russian gas to the European Union. eu receives gas through the main pipelines, of which the vast majority supply gas far below their capacity. The only line that works at almost full capacity is the bluestream and turkstream lines passing through Turkey, and their capacity is very low compared to nordstream 1 and 2.
Indeed, and you just demonstrated a sophist state shill tactic exemplary, by offering zero context for the reason behind the decline or actual figures for what matters, or the price. Bravo, you've convinced everyone that sanctions work and the Russian economy is destroyed!
