Maybe a total boycott of Russian economy would’ve had some domestic response, but in reality the only people sanctioning the Russian economy are the US and EU, which in itself represents a fraction of the world population and its economic output. The vast majority of the world’s countries continued trading with Russia as usual, if not encouraged trade as Russia offers more favourable deals that the US and EU are unwilling to counter.
If the EU/US bloc was genuinely interested in anything other than a forever war to boost their military industrial complexes, they’d have put some of their economic power on the line to support global adoption of sanctions, but instead it is backfiring as BRICS slowly (but very surely) becomes a truly independent economic order of its own creation.
