In total, about 100 large foreign companies operating in our country, judging by the blogger's data (you can see them here), gained about 15 trillion rubles over the past year. rubles, while the total revenue of the leading Russian companies, on whose work the domestic welfare is built (Gazprom, Lukoil and Rosneft) amounted to 17.6 trillion. rubles.

“Roughly speaking, foreign companies have earned almost as much as the main Russian companies that drive natural resources to the West. That is, with the money they earned, they bought gas, oil, timber, human resources coming from Russian companies. In other words, all the money earned in rubles remained in Russia, and natural resources magically entered other foreign countries. Plus, there has also received money from managers and senior staff, who understands everything and converts rubles into the currency that he spends there...", - the analyst comments on these figures.
