The russia economy has been growing at 2-3% for literally decades and has an economy that depends on petrol being $110 a barrel.
They will never stop being a second tier economy unless they wake up to how corrupt and inept their government is. They can’t even brute force it with people - they have ~15mill fewer people than they did going into WWI over 100 years ago.
They are slowly devolving into a rogue state and at this point it’s up to them to solve it. They’ve seceded from the world. Godspeed to them, truly. We have lost a beautiful culture and people to the poor decision making of their government.
