They are selling surplus military hardware to all takers and organized russian crime runs the country; it doesn’t appear that their economy is being restored at all.

In a way they didn't. Under Gorbachev, policies were put in place like Glasnost and Perestroika, which opened up and restructed the faltering economy. However, now the economy is mainly in the hands of the Russian mob, which has the government in its pocket. Some of my Russian friends would say that the economy actually worked better under Communism.
