What do you mean by "a huge country"? I was born there. And I can say - out of 100% of a really large area, there is life only on 15% -20% of this territory. Everything else is an uninhabitable area, or absolutely depressive areas of no interest!
If we talk about the economy - this is also a fake! Technologically backward resource economy, dependent on Western technologies, without "exclusive" positions - this is the real picture of the Russian economy! Try to name the technologies that were developed and brought to the world market by Russia over the past 30 years? Well ? Not ? Can't find? That's what I'm talking about! More or less working sectors of the Russian economy are all the legacy of the USSR, but after 30 years of mediocre exploitation, even these sectors degrade and collapse. So before repeating the mantras of Russian propaganda about greatness, I recommend that you clarify and double-check every statement!
