Russia had the whole USSR thing. When Putin got in he increased the economy almost by 100% then the global financial crash happened and Russia has been stagnant since. This is mostly because of the sharp oil crash that happened a few years late and then sanctions placed on Russia over Crimea. I think Russia has done alright with all things considered. There's certainly corruption and mismanagement in Russia for sure but they weren't exactly starting in a good spot. The USSR was hardly what I was call Russian either. It was more like foreign influences taking control of the country. The real Russians died by the tens of millions because of the USSR.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that at least 80 percent of the members of the first Soviet government were Jewish. “I thought about something just now: The decision to nationalize this library was made by the first Soviet government, whose composition was 80-85 percent Jewish,” Putin said June 13 during a visit to Moscow’s Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center.
Now that you mention it, Russia's stability has a lot to do with the USSR. The Soviet economy, flawed as it was, was always focused internally. Soviet materials made Soviet goods for Soviet people. This means the modern Russian economy is less dependent on foreign trade, since there's usually a Russian made option.
