The map above shows Gross Development Productivity per Capita by nation. You can see that Russia is quite low, despite having great energy exports and natural resources. Their poor performance is largely due to corruption and incompetence. They are smart and well educated people - if they can ever develop free enterprise and honest government they could do as well as western Europe. A shame.
And of course their incompetent war with Ukraine highlights their ineptitude. Despite having three times the population of Ukraine, and an enormous military, they have only been able to conquer 20% of Ukraine after three years.
