Lol, Russia's economy is shit and not just because of sanctions (which Putin is to blame for as well by the way). Also Russia has a life expectancy average of only 70. That's 8-10 years lower than civilized countries.

Are u joking, right ? This is the last time I will aswer a quote like this one. If u want to discuss this way - dont bother to quote me anymore.

 Russian economy is now 6th by PPP, and that is with 14% debt to GPD ratio. This combination is - if we talk about economics - just an overkill compared to Western economies. And, in opposition to all rest of the word, their debt is decreasing, comrade. Last year it decreased by 17%

Here is the story of their GDP

Year	1999	2000	2001	2002	2003	2004	2005	2006	2007	2008	2009	2010	2011	2012	2013	2014	2015
% GDP	6.4	10.0	5.1	4.7	7.3	7.2	6.4	8.2	8.5	5.2	-7.8	4.5	4.3	3.4	1.3	0.6	-3.7

Of course they have problems now with inflation,sanctions,low oil prices, budget deficit etc - but every country has its economic problems right now, and Russian economy is expected to growth this year.

It's not hard to grow if your economy is pathetically small. South Korea has a bigger economy than Russia, lol. I'm stating facts here: Russians are drinking themselves to death. It's hardly the great country you're describing it at. It has a terrible life expectancy, among other things. Russian men can beat their spouses now without fear of being sent to prison. Not to mention how incredibly homophobic Russian society is. 

Also, sixth at what?
