Introduction
Russia's invasion and annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula in 2014 was quickly followed by international sanctions, targeting Russian elites and government officials as well as key Russian industries.
The response from the West began the reversal of nearly three decades of Russia's integration into the global economy.
