However, the people in Russia are really not poor and things have been much better the last few years as Putin has privatized many of the government functions and lowered taxes.

Actually, Russia's growth is due almost entirely to their petroleum industry. Putin has actually re-nationalized many businesses. I don't know which Putin yu're talking about.
But it's a moot point, because the average Russian has seen very few real gains.
