Just a small curiosity on this topic. I bought this pair of slippers in Lithuania: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fstanislavs.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F06%2Fslippers.jpg&t=665&c=pV67dNppZhVZeQ) Exceptionally light-weight, this pair is weighing only 120 grams, they represent one "Made in Russia" (in the town of Pskov) consumer product. The other consumer product I've been eating all winter - sweets "Artpassion" (domestically known under the label of "Vdohnovenije" - "Inspiration"): http://www.russiantable.com/store/Imported-Russian-Chocolate-%22Vdohnovenie%22-with-Almonds-75%-cocoa__4537-14.html

russians? they have just oil and gas ...and siberia ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) )) maybe they are too big to conqueror. Russia is rich in almost all the natural resources (Iron ore, Nickel, Gold, Palladium, Platinum, Chromium, Aluminium, Diamonds, Coal.etc) and not just in oil and gas. Unfortunately, they are not utilizing them 100%. And yes, they are the largest country, in terms of surface area, which makes it almost impossible for anyone to conquer Russia. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Except oil and weapon, what things does Russian really have? We all see that Russian is really weak in recently oil price crash. The exchange rate of ruble and the inflation in Russian as follow the oil price crash imply that Russian is just a third - rate country who depends on selling cheap resources. After the Soviet Union collapsed, the Economic of Russian growth just benefit from the oil price risen.
They have a large territory which provides them with security, shelter, natural resources etc. B*lls of steel, Vodka, Putin, developed millitary industry, many billioners... Did I mention Putin? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ''A skilled dictator is much more benefficial to it's country than a democracy of idiots'' works very well for Russia by my opinion.

I'll agree with that. Compare China with India. In 1950, India was far ahead of China in almost every single aspect. The literacy was higher, income was higher, the health care was better, and even the Indian life expectancy was much higher than that of the Chinese. Now, after 65 years of pure democracy, India is lagging behind China (which is a dictatorship) in every single aspect.

I wouldn't say that this comparison is absolutely correct. You can't simply say that some country has a dictatorship while another is a democracy, because the dictatorship and democracy aren't mutually exclusive things. This will sound funny, but dictatorship can be democratic.

India never had a military coup, and the governments were elected in without any election fraud or vote rigging. The army is not very powerful in India. Moreover, India is regarded as one of the best examples of parliamentary democracies in the Asian region. China, on the other hand, was an absolute dictatorship until the early 1990s. I agree that there can be some cases, where the dictatorship and democracy are not mutually exclusive. But that is not the case with both India and China.

Come on, guys. You know what I mean. As you can find lots of things which made in China. And use lots of things made by USA or service by USA as google. And Japan's camera……。 I only just want to say, Russian is far from a dominant country。 It's just a Third rate country. And that why I despise Putin.
Well yes but I don't think Russia is trying to be dominant in this era. It was just Hitler who made that attempt.

Hilarious how sheep jumped on your Russia bashing band wagon and then dispersed, right? Meanwhile Russia, China and Iran tightened their military alliance, economic output is at record high and even western countries are being seduced by the idea of joining Chinese development bank (counterpart of NWOs International Monetary Fund) - they are solvent. Russia by the way has - in spite of jewish oligarchs tantamount efforts to destroy it - still alot to offer besides weapons and resources. It has industrial tradition in heavy machinery, world class aerospace experts and produces about three times as many engineers and technical personell as do western countries. You see, it is country where education still means more, than title in front of your name. By the way, you personally might not use something with "made in Russia" yourself, but you know who does? NASA does. Everytime NASA needs to send some of its trained chimps into the space, its Russians on the ground doing the job and building the rockets.

But the main, and most important thing that Russia has, are its people - friendly, open-hearted, ready to help, often naïve, but with the perseverence that has Russia going despite everything that history had thrown at it.
You mean people with no education ? No "hello", no "thanks" ... and think they can do what they want because they have money ... Sorry but all the place were i had been in holidays where russian was ... it was not educated people ! Raw people ... and most often drunk ... but of course it must be my imagination ....

Without the Russian technology, the International Space Station would have never got completed. The NASA space technology is still way behind that of Russia, although the former receives almost 20 times the funding compared to the latter. If Russia refuses to cater to the American astronauts, then the NASA will have very few viable choices.

Endless and Cheap natural resources The natural resources of Russia are not endless, although right now they are plentiful. They need to be used carefully. For example, although Russia remains the world's largest producer of crude oil and other petroleum products, a lot of it is lost as a result of pipeline leakage, accidents and inefficient transport system. For the past two decades, I haven't seen any improvements in the crude oil transport infrastructure.

Given that almost 300 factories that processed material and were used for machine-building were closed and destroyed during the Yeltsin's Wild 90's, Russia has a lot of catching up to do. Also having a lot of resource in the ground is one thing, being able to get it profitably is another. One could argue that Russia could sell extraction rights to foreign companies (and it does), but that is a dangerous thing - one should be careful not to sell the country together with the land.
On a lighter note. Today is the Day of Russia's Independence - the youngest holiday in Russia. On the 12th of June 1990, the first Congress of People's Deputies adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Russia. There will be a large celebration - concert and historical show - aired directly from the Beautiful Square: http://russia.tv/brand/show/brand_id/59502There will also be an airing of celebrations from Crimea: http://russia.tv/brand/show/brand_id/59503Yesterday, this day was celebrated in Kishenjov, Moldova, and saw a great turn-out and spectacular fireworks, despite the authorities' attempts to sabotage it: http://ria.ru/world/20150611/1069571815.html

Your point about their metal is a valid point, but then the question raise, why they aren't selling it instead, if they have a huge quantity like you say? They are selling it, either as pure metal, alloys, or in the form of equipment and other products. Consider these facts: 1. Russia is the 6th largest producer of steel in the world, and the 5th largest producer of Iron ore. 2. Russia is the 2nd largest producer of Aluminium. 3. Russia is the 7th largest producer of Copper. 4. Russia is the 3rd largest producer of Gold. 5. Russia is the 2nd largest producer of Magnesium. 6. Russia is the 2nd largest producer of Platinum. 7. Russia is the 4th largest producer of Silver. 8. Russia is the 2nd largest producer of Titanium. 9. Russia is the 6th largest producer of Uranium. 10.Russia is the 4th largest producer of Antimony. 11.Russia is the 4th largest producer of Fluorite. 12.Russia is the 2nd largest producer of Silicon. 13.Russia is the 5th largest producer of Bentonite.
