Who has done better in the past 15 years? Gross domestic product has increased sixfold. Income per head has risen sevenfold. Never before have Russians seen such prosperity. More currency reserves would be good, but $200bn is available immediately; and, by conservative measures, the same has been put in rainy day funds.

I had no idea they were doing so well. So, it's not entirely a cleptocracy; clearly, there is some trickle down taking place. Reportedly, their fertility rates have been improving as well.
