No, you spent the first 15 years trying to rob Russia blind for everything it was worth. Yeltsin (who did "shock therapy" at the urging of Treasury employees sent to Msocow) privatized post-Soviet state firms and illegally sold them to Western companies at auction, along with selling natural resources for pennies with nothing in return. The US rigged the elections in 1996 by donating IMF money to Yeltsin's campaign, the former head of the OSCE confirmed on CNN in 2009 that he was pressured by the US to lie and say the election was "free and fair". The reason Putin has remained so popular is because he put a stop to all that, renationalized key industries and put money back into the social safety net as had been the case in the USSR. He also kicked out "foreign aid" organizations and used high oil prices to fund the initiatives instead.
