    Too bad that they did not embrace Capitalism. They have all the natural resources to do anything they want. Only their dependency on government and corruption that is tied to government, prevents them from matching the US economy.

The economic rebound was supported by continued recovery in manufacturing, freight turnover, as well as the construction sector. Machine-building and chemical industries have become the main drivers of growth, the ministry noted." ...........https://www.rt.com/business/521658-r...s-coronavirus/
    First-quarter GDP for the US 2021 increased at a 6.4% rate. Just sayin

    Russia cannot grow that fast. They don't know how to create demand or supply it.

    Remember the old Reagan joke about a Russian buying a car.
    This man laid down the money, and the fellow in charge said to him:

    Come back in 10 years and get your car.

    The man answered: Morning or afternoon?

    And the fellow behind the counter said: Ten years from now, what difference does it make?

    And he said: Well, the plumber is coming in the morning.

    If they don't make enough babies, ultimately it doesn't matter what they do economically.

    The federal government perhaps. Their local level governments (states) are deep in debt.
