following the logic of some people, it was actually the USA who invaded Ukraine and not Russia.

Not so much. And since I have no TV, and have some friends who voluteered to fight in Donbass, war for me is mostly in their stories. I have some friends from Belgorod, so they sometimes tell stories about shelling too,
Overall, you could find signs of war in Russian towns, mostly in volonteer recruitment ads and bilboards with modern war heroes, alive and deceased. There are losses, nobody hide them, but they are completely out of comparison with Ukrainian ones. Of course there is new military graves on cemetries and families who lost their relatives, not a lot, but that losses only make people more united and targeted at defeating globalist parasites. There is no hate toward Ukrainian citizens, cars with Ukrainian number plates are not rare on the roads, in nearby village family of Ukrainians from Kharkov region bought a house and settled. Women work in grocery, men do renovation work on houses, meet them periodically.
That is how war look like here for average person.
As for economy, things are pretty good here. There is a huge rise of manufacturing and business. Now, wealth doesn't flow out of the country into Western villas, so money stay in country and kickstarting development. There is nearly no unemployment today.
Yes, I saw them, but they are too short to get some real understanding of how things going here. There are youtube channels of Americans, Australians, Brits, French and other Western citisens who moved to Russia and they cover much more aspects of life in Russia bu the eyes of typical Westerner.
Something similar is here, of course there is richier regions an poorer regions. You harldly will find utter poverty now, but could find abandoned villages. However some of them reviving today, people buy houses for cheap in that villages and use them as vacation houses or rural residences.
As for Amazon - we have at least 3 similar competing networks hee - Ozon, Wildberries, Yandex. They have points in any more or less noticeable settlement, and even if not, it will be in nearby village or town.
Each country is different, every country have its own shit and its own benefits. So it's hard to tell is one country is better or worse for some person. If you need freedom to shout out anti-government slogans in supermarket - Russia is not for you. If you need a place where you could be left alone by state - well, many find Russia beneficial in that way. And so on.
That's perfectly OK, sometimes questions of other people bring a lot more food for thought than plain answers. :)
