No sir.
There have been a number of stories regarding Russia's crumbling infrastructure. Also a number of stories about how Russia's railroad systems are having problems. Labor shortages - caused by casualties in Ukraine and young men fleeing Russia so they don't get sent to Ukraine. Russia also has a falling population. And, Ukraine has incinerated a few of Russia's oil refineries.

Russia's crumbling infrastructure, especially the increasingly failing heating plants, demonstrates the degradation of Russian society as the Kremlin focuses its attention beyond Russia's borders and away from its suffering people.

No good options for the Kremlin amid unrelenting labor shortfall After two-and-a-half years of fighting in Ukraine, Russia's labor shortage has emerged as the root of most of the country's economic problems.

Now, I could be wrong.
But, Grok has been known to lie.
Russia has been known to lie.

I seem to remember 'somebody' saying Russia was making more ammunition than ever . . . if that were so, then why is Russia buying drones from iran and ammunition from N. Korea?

If Russia is not having labor shortages . . . then why is russia importing soldiers from N. Korea?

It does take time for an empire to collapse.

Re: “There is the possibility of Russia's economy collapsing late this year or early next year. ”Based on what? High hopes for a nuclear war?

Grok couldn't make me a graph but it could provide information on Russia's economy:

Based on available information, here’s a summary of Russia's nominal GDP in current U.S. dollars from 1992 to 2024, sourced from reliable references. I'll provide key years to keep the dataset manageable, but you can interpolate or add more years if needed:

1992: $71.603 billion
1995: $335.777 billion
1998: $287.672 billion
2000: $278.264 billion
2005: $817.717 billion
2008: $1,779 billion
2013: $2,288 billion (peak)
2015: $1,363 billion
2020: $1,493 billion
2022: ~$2,240 billion
2024: $2,173.84 billion
2025 (projected): ~$2,195–$2,240 billion (based on nominal GDP growth estimates derived from real GDP growth forecasts of 0.9–2% and inflation trends)
