      Initially, the fine wasn’t that large. However, the exponential increase kicks hard.

      The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week.

        It’s an interesting formula. Exponential and logarithmic I think?

        I’m not a super great at math terms person

        14k first week 42k the second 98k the third 210k 434k 882k 1778k…

          EDIT: I’m stupid and did it with the fine squaring every week instead of doubling and I’m too lazy to recalculate so ignore this

          w1 = (100’000 x 7)2

          w2 = (100’000 x 7 + w1)2

          wn = (100’000 x 7 + wn-1)2

          It looks like it’s impossible to find a true function for wn that depens only on n.

          But we can approximate it with:

          w_n = C^(2^n)

          where C is the money owed at the end of the first week.

          So the approximate formula for how much is owned at the end of the nth week is.

          w_n = (4.9 * 10^11)^(2^(n-1))

          where n is the number of weeks since the fine was issued.

          In truth wn will be larger than said number but it’s a decent lower bounds for approximation and it should be accurate to within around a couple percent.

          i did this calculation in rubles but you can just replace 100’000 by 1000 if you wish USD.

    maybe they just want to remind the west to its weird feudalisms TTIP secret arbritation councils the public could’nt even notice any weirdocrappydictatorlike “decissions”.

    at least done well for me, russia +1 in showing with just one public note how the west lies and abuses all the time. its not about russia, its about the wests foulness, any country could have pointed that out, but russia maybe just does not fear any attacks by those secret “arbritation councils”.

          For example

          weirdocrappydictatorlike

          Is probably better structured as

          weirdo-crappy-dictatoresque

          That being said, my biggest problem with what you wrote is that I have no idea what you’re trying to say. I could make my best guess, but I’d almost certainly be wrong. It’s hard to edit a message that you don’t really understand the meaning of/ motivation behind.

          Edit: also, ‘decisions’ and ‘arbitration’
