Russian Power in Decline

Recommendable! Unfortunately, the article is kind of wordy and some of the examples seem to be very selective, but it summarizes some serious issues affecting Russia.

The successor of Putin the Terrible is facing a gargantuan task to solve!

Abundance of natural resources can be a curse see Russia!

The population of Russia has continued shrinking and ageing. Emigration has accelerated since the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian war, especially young, well educated Russians are leaving. Mostly Muslim ethnic minorities in Russia are growing. The mortality rates due to alcoholism, injuries, and accidents are significantly above normal and worse than in low income countries.

The author also points out that the innovative and technological performance of Russia since the end of the Soviet Union has been more reminiscent of a low income country!
