People make the mistake of analyzing Krasnov's tariff policy in economic terms. Krasnov's imposition of tariffs was nothing more than a mob boss' protection racket. You pay me money or I will ruin your business. I just see that India must have sent Krasnov suitcases full of money. Botany predicted this; We have been getting prescription drugs from India for decades. Now that India has made a "deal" (suitcases filled with money) watch Krasnov remove tariffs from prescription drugs. Botany gets credit for this one if it happens.

Krasnov doesn't give a darn about inflation or a recession, he only cares about extorting people to pay him money.
