Serious dude, we talk about russia...a country that can´t even provide electricity at its remote areas...

You're talking about the largest nation on earth with only a 150 million people. Ever been to siberia? Just try living there one day let alone try to work on for providing power lines. It is a force of nature.
You are blessed with less population, talented workpool and a tiny country and you still have poverty. Isn't that an even worse scenario considering that you guys have had a robust welfare system, healthcare system and social securities system with good scientific education provided to children. And yet you collapsed? Why?
