But Russia's exports of commodities have all spiked in value, and Russia will get those sold to China, India etc even if it takes some month extra. At the same time, Russia can't buy Coca Cola, McDonald's or Hollywood propaganda... Not sure how that could hurt their economy.

There is a problem that Russian companies have a hard time paying for imports, but as soon as the commodity exports get going again, the wealth will be flowing into Russia and there will be a huge demand for Rubles - Unless China cut Russia off.
