We kind of have a similar problem here, but with more kinds of products - during the Soviet years, Russia was able to produce all kinds of goods on its own, from grown food to machinery, but then we became more dependent on the imported ones, becoming a raw material-providing country (oil/natural gas). Now with all these sanctions, the government should theoretically put more money into producing goods again, but, well, of course in truth it is more complicated. I don't have much understanding of politics, and most of what you can hear in the media is propaganda anyway.
