**Summary:**

1. **Self-Sufficiency Due to Sanctions** : Russian officials claimed that their country avoided the impact of a global IT outage thanks to increased self-sufficiency developed over years of Western sanctions, particularly those linked to the Ukraine conflict.

2. **Minimal Disruptions** : Major Russian entities, including state nuclear giant Rosatom and leading banks and airlines, reported no issues during the outage, emphasizing the effectiveness of their independent systems.

3. **Operational Stability** : Despite the withdrawal and scaling down of services by firms like Microsoft, Russian financial and currency markets continued to function smoothly, underscoring the country’s resilience to external IT disruptions.
