If Ukrain became another Afghania war to Russia , and the whole world rise
against Russia .
As Владимир Михайлович Филиппов stated in year 2010 , 「Russia
degenerate as a normal developing country like Latin America ,
Sahara southern Africa.」
or as some Chinese commentator said , became a local power in geopolitics.

Is Russia a third world country ? Google cofounder, Sergey Bryn: "Russia is Nigeria with snow".
is he right ?
A small comparison between the two:
Russia Nigeria
Corruption level 143rd 147th (place in the world)
Gini index 40.5 43.7
Property protection 63rd 64rd (place in the world)
The most dangerous holiday destination 4th 5th
Easiest place to run a business 106th 108th(place in the world)
Freedom of press 144th 131st (place in the world)
Moscow, Saint Peterburg and some other places are clearly ahead of the rest of the country, but overall, Russia remains a near 3rd world place with poor medical care, horrible roads, completely corrupted police and so on.
the British used to say "the problem of Russians is that they are white, if they were coloured, we would have shown more understanding for their country and nation".
So what do you think ?
