Claim 2: “The investment boom seen in the Russian economy in recent years has brought us to historic highs in investment activity.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence mentions that 'real wages' surged to record highs in recent years, but it does not explicitly state that 'investment activity' reached historic highs. There is a mention of the 'end of the investment boom of previous years', which suggests a boom existed, but it does not verify that it reached 'historic highs'.

Claim 4: “The decline in investment in Russia in early 2026 can hardly be described as dramatic”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While there is evidence of a decline in IT investment and a general mention of the central bank's expectations for 2027, there is no specific data or reporting in the provided evidence that characterizes the decline in investment in 'early 2026' as 'not dramatic'. The evidence provided is too fragmented to confirm or deny the specific qualitative description of the decline.
