There is always an advantage in every disadvantage.

Russia is a developing shitthole with the highest level of wealth and income inequality in the world. No amount of white-washing will change that.
Their agricultural sector is nothing to write home about compared to the united states. The US probably makes more from corn exports alone than Russia makes from its own agricultural sector.
Infact, the only reason this ruskies are taken seriously at all is their Nuclear deterrence and their surprisingly impressive military technology, an unusual feat for a near third-worldish nation like russia . Because when it comes to Economy, standard of living. education, and infrastructure, it is a big Russian zero.
