Your fears are unfounded. What about Dubai. In the near future there economy will be not be oil depended. Russia also can copy that model.

I don't see the time line when this would happen. They have plenty. Their economy will boom from selling weapons to China. China is arming itself at a hefty pace thanks to all the money they make off of Americans. If the day ever comes when China has ill intent toward are country, we are in for big trouble. They will have the ability to destroy us financially (since they finance our debt) and in the not so distant future, they will have a military presence. Russia will find it economically beneficial to sell them arms.

Be the European Mexico full of cronies and thugs for its economy. No rule of law really, but I do not think Russia was gonna be 3rd world poor, but not have developed country living standards. Its on growth binge for lost time, and it will have Dutch Disease. Putin party is 21st century Mexican PRI party, and it not good for Russia people long term, but its better than communism.
