  1. Russia could be prosperous for sure but the regimes have been so haphazard and repressive so people don't want to make large investments when they risk losing it next year when the ruler is in crappy mood. The oligarchs got their oil companies and other former state run larger companies fairly easy in the late 80s and during the 90s the gased out debts by driving the ruble to the bottom and inflation up when there were banks in about every closet. Now Putin is paying soldiers so well to avoid drafting so salaries overall have risen quickly for other professions have trouble finding and keeping their workers. The police force has about 25% vacancies and that is the general number, in some regions it is about 75% vacancies having led to that those who are left be overworked and also more dangerous if they can't fill up the squads or trust they will have backup when needed so some cops have quit and drive taxi and such instead.
