Hahaha. You forgot to mention that Russia was all but destroyed 2 times by Germans last century, while the other country was not. Great head start. One country was forced in spending huge on defence during the Cold War, while the other was building everything else, but defence. Great head start again. Russia opened up tintje rest of the world economically after 1991, while the other country had almost 50 year advantage. Great head start again. There are plenty more examples, but let’s leave it. The other country has done great considering how it all started, but for the sake of the comparison, let’s put things in a perspective.

Feeble excuse. Japan and Germany were in ruins in 1945 and back to being among the world's wealthiest within 2 decades. Russia always seeks to blame others for their own failings - they need to look inwards.
