Considering that Russia's economy is based almost entirely off oil and gases, there economy was always a hair pin away from popping, and western companies are fucking everyone over, not just the Russians, Russia's doing pretty fucking well. In fact, if they start to localize their economy, they'll do better than most of the rest of the world. This is the chance to end the globohomo bullshit and start manufacturing in each of the large countries again. Trade is essential, but you have to have something to trade.
