Boost to Putin as IMF upgrades Russian economy

Since when is Russian economy "centrally planned"? Do we have a different definition of it?
My understanding is that state owned enterprise has become very dominant in Russia after the start of the war, and a lot of private business is now being state directed. So, I think it's fair to say that the commanding heights of the economy are largely under state control now.
That's not based on the article is it? The article seems to attribute growth primarily to the war economy.
