Russia is a strong country which balances power on the earth. It is difficult to run a country like Russia with so much demand of resources. Russia is truly a superpower. Many ppl argue that it was better before than its now, I do not agree with it as I believe at this time of reconstruction, you cannot satisfy every one. Russia has everything, oil, natural reserves, unlike US. All Russia needs is to liberalise its economy and market. Many Russian Billionairs have taken money out of Russia which could have been put into good use.
