see in the case of Russia where swathes of the real economy are missed. Also, all that financial industry in NATzO that fluffs up its collective
GDP is worth jack.

Why did Russia allow this in the first place? Are there Russian businesses that can do the same thing?

You never know who she really might be working for Twisted Evil
Including back when she was still together with her husband

Regarding this story about seizing farmland, well it is no shock, the west seized western based components of Russian oil companies and misused them for their own purposes.
This is now a case of western focussed companies or CEOs doing things like go slows or halts to operations to damage Russia and the Russian economy, so of course the Russian government is going to step in and take over and have those organisations return to normal work so the workers can continue to earn money and the business continue to provide products to other companies that rely on them.
A huge company like McDonalds would close shop and just take the loss of income in the hopes of damaging the Russian market, while Russians taking over ownership can keep the business working with the suppliers providing food and material support keeping their contracts and keep working too.
Western interests is to damage Russia in any way it can so the Russian government stepping in and stopping them is sensible and not related to seizing assets and property in revenge.... that is yet to come... despite freezing assets and withholding interest earned as essentially being theft anyway.

When you make stuff then a strong currency is not a great idea....
If you import food and energy then a strong currency is good but when you export food and energy then a weak currency increases exports and makes it more practical and sensible to buy local produce... which is good for your economy and the economies of those you trade with.
