The "design" was for the Russian economy to be destroyed. "The Ruble is rubble" were Biden's exact words. It hasn't worked out that way.

We were going to crush their oil sales. That hasn't worked out either. Russia does make revenue. Russia has bounced back from our sanctions and the IMF expects them to return to growth this year.

Russia is making more money on oil now than last year.
These are all western sources. Not Russian.
Oil is extremely fungible. Oil producers have control of the market, as we have seen since the Arab Oil Crisis in 1973. Gas is similar. Russia has both, plus a lot of mineral wealth.
Russia is doing fine. Europe? Not so much. "Getting" energy is not the same as "affording to pay for" energy.
We got lucky with a mild winter last year, but 4-6x gas prices in Germany are not affordable and short-term there is no possibility to use other energy sources. We are doing a bit better in Austria, but not that much better.
A cold winter this year will (I expect) have Germany quietly starting to use Russian gas again.
