Remember that last year Russia pulled all its dollars out....they have a ton of gold.....I don't think they care about the dollar sanctions.

Sanctions in the short run don't do much. In the long run, they can hurt if a leader can't redistribute wealth to his supporters, but we are a long, long way from that.
But Russia is a petro-state, and with high oil prices, they are in no danger of financial collapse.
I don't blame them for hedging their bets with gold.
They have less gold than most European countries. Supposedly. Italy, Spain, Germany, and probably even Finland.
They'll avert sanctions by trading through a heap of places not sanctioned. India and Brazil love to repack it. Selling back with a different label, oh look it's the Brazilian caviar and vodka. They've even renamed the Ladas, Dudas. No but seriously.
Iraq did this all throughout the 1990s, that is, evading sanctions the way you describe.
Other places do it now. NK, Iran, Syria, Venezuela etc. The internet. Let's suggest crypto. Shells and proxies. With Russia I doubt they care. Except the population who faster feel it. This hurts the most by sanction. Like Western energy soaring, it affecting inflation rapidly increasing. But Russia has a wealth of resources such a big country metals, minerals, gas, oil, industry, tech, arms, even meds, and agriculture. It also trades with partners who aren't sanctioned. How does that work? Not in dollars etc, gold, or reciprocal.
