Three months after the first confirmed case of coronavirus, Russia is the third country in the world for infections. A look at the official statistics raises some suspicion, as the number of deceased remains low in comparison with European states. In the face of the epidemic, citizens are wondering how the country’s healthcare system will cope. For the Kremlin, the stakes are even higher, as the price of oil has plummeted and the ruble has lost a third of its value. If oil prices continue to stay below 40 USD, Moscow will inevitably face a budget deficit this year.
