Russia's economy shrank surprisingly in November 2017, mainly as a result of declining industrial production, BNR reported. National radio refers to the ministry of economy, quoted by Reuters.

However, it should be borne in mind that the oil-dependent Russian economy has improved in 2017 after two years of recession caused by a sharp decline in world commodity prices and by the sanctions imposed by Western countries on Moscow for its role in the Ukrainian crisis.
