In the Sakhalin-III project, Rosneft has 74.9 % ownership and Sinopec 25%. India is pushing forOVL’s participation in Sakhalin projects through join bidding with Rosneft. Indiawants OVL to form a 49.51 joint venture with either Rosneft or Gazprom to pursueother oil and gas exploration opportunities in Russia such as the Trebs and Titovexploration block in Timan Pechora region.

Indian investment is there in all over Russia, United States, Europe, Middle East and Africa worth billions.

But like always the conflicts in Europe and Middle East between United States and Russian Federation are creating problems for India.

Russia is working with alternative partners in Asia and Latin America which will keep its economy afloat. And in spite of the sanctions it isn't doing too horribly bad right now financially as far as I know. Also check out this:

‘Harder It Gets, Stronger Russians Become’: West Underestimated Kremlin

After the fall of the Soviet Union everyone in the West thought Russia was a 'loser', but with a successful military operation in Syria Russia once again proved them wrong, Chinese political scientist Gao Fei wrote for Global Times.

"The West underestimated Russia, its desire to fight and certainly wasn't ready for this," Fei said, according to Global Times.

Between October 26 and 27 the Russian Air Force conducted over 90 airstrikes against ISIL targets in Syria. This has led Western experts to reconsider whether present-day Russia is the same country they thought they knew in the past.

The United States and its allies always thought that they were the leaders of the world when it came to fighting terrorism, but now Russia's certainly proved them wrong, the Chinese expert said.

With the start of the Russian military operation, Western media is doing what it does best — it continues to spread rumors about civilian deaths and issue dour predictions of Moscow's upcoming economic crash, caused by falling global oil prices and anti-Russian sanctions, but these lies can't alter reality, Fei said.
Although the Russian military might not be as strong as the Soviet Red Army, its overall fire power, experience and equipment match the country's super power status.

Furthermore, the Russians have a special mentality: the harder it gets, the stronger they become. Russia might be facing tough economic times, but history has shown time and again that hard times have often become a driving force behind Russia's rapid development. Time and time again, Moscow's enemies have paid a high price for underestimating the power of the Russian people, their indomitable spirit and ability to overcome adversity against all odds, the Chinese political scientist underscored.

I heard that marijuana was legalized in few states of America but it's impact will reach white house that is something i didn't expected ...

So how come Russia took Crimea in 2014, and America despite their constant crying were unable to stop it?

Same with China taking the Scarborough shoal in 2012, America was obligated to help the Philippines due to a "mutual defence treaty", but despite the constant crying they did nothing.

How much can the sole superpower cry when they are up against "regional powers".

If it is about economy then USA/China are the powers and if it is about military then Russia is the only one to challenge USA.

 

[Husnainshah]

Don't see Russia in isolation. Think of Russia in Russia-China context.
Russia's doing pretty good in Syria for an economy 'somewhere behind Spain'.

 

[Storm Force]

If. You start discount gdp and divide this
Population then China is nobody. as the likes of Finland swden and Belgium have bigger per capita income.


Gdp is everything abd Russia is way behind likes of India France UK and itlay

you come up with the same comment in about 20 different threads and been given a clear answer all those times, yet you continue to post the same stupidity

even Ukraine didn't do anything about Crimea, why is US obliged to take action when they have no treaties , no economic relations whatsoever.

if Ukraine was in NATO , it would of been a completely different story

as for Scarborough Shoal in 2012 , Philippines never asked for US assistance and stated multiple times if the mainland was under a threat or an actual confrontation took place US would assist in any way possible.
