I've looked at it now and will give this response, notwithstanding that I am not a Kremlin mouthpiece. I am bemused at the reaction of both Russia and China to the viral epidemic, and particularly China whose lock-downs have been quite draconian. Russia took other measures as well as a moderate lockdown, and particularly much testing, as well as HCQ/Vitamin treatment and quarantining of cases. Although masking has been recommended it appears not to be enforced, nor social distancing, so called. My explanation for this submission to an undesirable and or pointless public direction is as suggested - that trying to buck the trend - and WHO advice - would have caused unnecessary tensions and difficulties. But Russia worked hard on a vaccine and knew that it could get one out within six months or so, and sought to control the spread of the virus until then. What might be different is that Russian authorities didn't set out to frighten and manipulate the people, nor have a motive to do so in order to keep a captive market for a profitable vaccine. No doubt financial interests come into it, but more in the export market. I don't understand why some countries didn't copy Sweden, or why Sweden chose that path. Maybe there's hope for the country yet! I don't think Russia will have a "second wave" nor a second lock-down.
