Russian Economic Depression: Polar Vortex Collapse Creates a Systemic Shock

Hi, my name is Mark. I am an economist, and here I examine the risk of a Russian economic depression arising from climate-driven agricultural shocks, focusing on how polar vortex collapse can generate systemic economic consequences rather than isolated sectoral losses. While extreme cold events are often treated as temporary disruptions, this analysis situates them within a broader political economy framework in which climate volatility interacts with structural constraints in production, geography, and economic organization. The central conclusion is that persistent polar vortex instability poses a greater long-run economic risk to Russia than to neighboring agricultural producers with milder climatic endowments. While short-term cold events may appear manageable, repeated constraints on primary production increase the probability of prolonged stagnation or depression-level outcomes when viewed through the lens of economic history and structural analysis.
