Not sure what the point is here?

Russia has 140 million people, whereas the 4 "Asian Tigers" have around 80 million.

Without oil and gas, Russia would now be little better off than some 3rd world countries.

Exports are dependent on Natural recouces which isnt just oil and gas but also gold, diamonds, silver, titanium, steel and so on but not russian economy.

True but Russia earns 2-300 billion dollars a year from oil and gas.

Without this it would be a third world country, albeit one of the better off ones.

Get a grip!

The Brazilian economy is much bigger than the Indian economy, while the Russian economy is more or less on par with the Indian economy.

The Indian economy, when measured in US dollars, has seen practically zero growth for the past couple of years.

The rupee is again falling like a stone of late.

Indians love boasting or what?

By the way, don't us give the PPP crap, for it is only a poor man's ********.

Russia is one nation that surprises me.

Despite having everything due to poor governance Russia continues to remain an underachiever.

Where did you get that idea from? The following are IMF figures for Nominal GDP for 2012:

Why do the Indians keep banging on about PPP figures? Does it make you guys feel better, bigger? No other people from the third world countries behaves like this but Indians only.

I have been reading the "India becoming a 2 trillion USD next year" or "India is already a 2 trillion USD economy" for the last 4 or 5 years.

If so, the second part of his statement is total rubbish.

China's will be an economy of some 10 billion US dollars by the end of 2013 while the US economy will be about 15.5 trillion dollars.

Adding China, Russia, India and Brazil will bring the total to close to 17 trillion dollars, which figure is higher than the US' .

Your fellow countryman is making a big fool of himself.

Are you certain? I'm expecting it to be around $9 trillion by the end of 2013 as it was $8.2 trillion in 2012:
