Many countries are moving away from Russia， but one is getting closer: Turkey. Russian tourists and émigrés are pouring into Istanbul and the country’s coastal resorts， snapping up properties by the thousand. Russia is helping to fund a nuclear plant costing $20bn in Akkuyu， in the south. While many countries have cut exports to Russia since its invasion of Ukraine， Turkey’s have surged by 60% in dollar terms. Western firms， constrained by sanctions， appear to be using Turkey as a go-between to export to Russia.
