According to him, Russia will take this into account in their policies.

"I admit that the sanctions inertia may remain in the US permanently. Suffice it to recall the history of the Jackson - Vanik amendment, which lasted almost 40 years, becoming the economic policy lever arm. We will take this into account when building its economic and trade policy, and if necessary - to respond adequately to the new unfriendly steps "- said Medvedev.

Yes! Try to respond adequately, as you brought this upon yourself. Your words no longer hold any value, so go and continue enslaving your people with the propaganda you spew on a daily basis. Many more Russians starting to decline any truth to what you say. We're seeing protests more and more as this continues. You have a big problem and you're going to ruin your organization and lose the serfdom you built. Many more want to live free and in a democracy. They want to take their country back and make it work for them, instead of having a selected few trying to make it work for their group, on the backs of the millions.

So make your plans to get the hell out, while you're alive.
