This, plus with various studios halting theatrical movie releases makes me wonder how much power private corporations could wield, as long as they are willing to take the hit to their bottom lines.
What if various streaming sites (Netflix, Amazon, Disney+) decided to stop streaming to Russia? What if Amazon decided to stop orders? (Assuming any of those are major players over there).
Of course, none of this will impact Putin, but perhaps it'll get the population annoyed enough to do something...

As it is, everything imported just got twice as expensive.

If it ensures Steven Seagal never makes another movie, I'm all for it.
Though it's probably a given, already.
