History

Historical Context

In August 2008 Russia’s invasion of Georgia sent the RTS index down about 54%, erasing over $300 billion in equity value. President Dmitry Medvedev announced a ceasefire on 12 August, after which markets stabilized. Today Ozon’s Ufa and Orenburg hubs face Ukrainian drone strikes, prompting evacuations and a near-30% share drop that mirrors the 2008 shock.
