Putin recalled Russian MP's and thus cancelled their two week Holiday yesterday, Friday 26 December, 2014.
He did not say this was because there is a Financial Crisis ! He just said that the price of Vodka is too expensive and that this will drive people to buy "bootleg" alcohol, which is bad for their health !
So what has really forced him to recall the Duma MP's ? There could, basically, be two main reasons, -
a) There is a serious Financial Crisis, for which he needs a cover-up ! The Rouble is crumbling.
b) There are prisoner exchanges going on with Ukraine, and Putin needs the moral help of Russian Citizens and the "blessing" of the Douma, to help Russian citizens in Ukraine and in Crimea !
In his year-end address to the Nation, Putin has already explained that the Financial Crisis is due to Western anti-Russian Sanctions and to falling Oil and Gas prices on international markets ! To protect Russia he must also deploy troops on Russian frontiers !
Putin realises that the West have not accepted the way he grabbed Crimea from Ukraine. He also knows that his weak point is that Russia has no "land-corridor" with Crimea. While Western politicians are "on holiday" he is perhaps dreaming of another "coup" !
Putin has his back to the wall. This could be his last throw of the dice, to save himself, but with the approbation of all Russians !
