Could Russia become as developed as the west any time soon? What's really holding them back?

Russia cannot be balcanised, except few known republics. But then they will return anyway, because Russia is Phoenix, even if it's made of shit

I hope the Armenian scenario will repeat itself in Russia

what does it mean,please translate

Despite the fact that today's "unified Russia" is formally a federation, it is in fact unitary and the vast majority of cashflows from every single region (Chechnya may be an exception) go straight to Moscow, which is indeed a developed city in its current state.

Also the people from smaller regions go to big cites like Moscow and St.Petersburg because the standards of living here are way higher that in their hometowns and migration is quite easy, you don't have to get any kind of residential permit or anything to move between Russian regions.

Those are resources and the manpower you talking about.

WTF are you joking?

>What's really holding them back?
The lack of technocratic national-communist goverment

I googled for a map of federal districts and this popped out. I didn't noticed that it is also a book shops distribution map at the first glance. Anyway, it doesn't matter.

Reminder that Russia is ruled by a dictator who bombed russians to get elected.

Bookstores by region
162 and 215 in the top mean Petersburg and Moscow respectively

That's a way how Russia's democracy works. We don't have non-soviet politicans anyway. So we need 20-30 years more to create new great Russia.

>new great Russia
Navalny pls

>Could Russia become as developed as the west any time soon?
Probably not.

>What's really holding them back?
Putin. Also he's holding Trump's back.

Fuck off scholmo. BASED Putin will never kneel before you

That's a stupid idea asking to be the west's bitch.

No
Oligarchs

>What's really holding them back?

Russians.

> as developed as the west
Define "developed".

Not Russia.

Not an answer.

How do people even find so much pictures of this guy?

They're not as far behind as you might think.

You’re right. It’s a solution.

Sovoks

>Sovoks
Nowadays they're called vatniks.

proof?

a heavily restrictive state + mass corruptions.

Both don't really invite in starting buisnesses.

Russians that have the possibility rather start buisnesses abroad where they are better protected.

Russia has no oligarches.Russia was oligarchy in 90s.You could also call Russia communist like it was 30 year ago.

Never.After 100years of communism GDP of Russia that grows every year will never achive Western level and non -communist-Asian.Only way to make West communist for 100ears

Yeah, that jewish oligarchic gang of Putin.

>as developed as west
I honestly don’t want that to happen. I better suffer and die in my 50s than see jihadi pansexual gender fluid feminist radical sjws kill the last bits of human decency(even as little as we’ve got)

>theory
Alright I guess..? I have a theory that America is financing all global terrorism in order to gain resources. They don’t care about human lives and somewhat intentionally flood Europe with refugees. But hey, that’s just a theory

> if it's a conspiracy theory about Russia it's not a conspiracy theory
noticed that. I think outlets like CNN and BBC peddled that shit even

No, unless they submit to us and let Finland govern their shithole

>What's really holding them back?
slavic genes, the same thing that's holding eastern europe back

Russia before Bolshevism had an European appearance. It is mainly after the jews fucked that nation that the west has distanced itself from it.

Load of crap. Eastern europe and the baltic states has been held back by the jews and communism.

Russia still has a European appearence

Russia always had a European appearance, though.
The thing is, European =/= Western European.

>What's really holding them back?
no access to Western capital

Developed means a society where everyone uses credit/is in debt

Then Russia is already quite developed.
While not everyone here is in debt, the "micro-credit organizations" (loan sharks) are blooming.
