Russia's changed role

Business Spectator - Reassessing Russia

One more sign how the current economic situation changes the geo-political shape of the world. Falling prices of raw materials and energy caused diminishing of power of Russia on the world scene.
Bad economic, health, and demographic conditions will cause its population to decrease by one third by 2050, from 143 million to 100 million, forecasts OECD. All the power play of the last years might have come to an end?
Obviously, everything will change yet everything will stay the same.
