Nebun, ok about growth. I think your argument is extremely simplistic.
In the west, we are pretty much done developing our countries. It gets harder and harder to get better. Our highways and railways are mostly built. Out cities are mostly developed. People have a living standard and possibilities that are mostly limited by their own efforts, though of course, it can be better. Our politicians are arguing about relatively minute matters on how to do things better, but they are in fact mostly in agreement.
Of course, RF, China, and most of developing world has enormous potential. Even Poland, where I live. But as most of the kinks in society are getting ironed out, it gets harder and harder to make it better. There you go, explanation for why we see more growth in RF than in the rest of europe atm.
If you want to look at performance of country vs. country, you have to look at countries that were similar in terms of performance, say from 1991, and then compare.
Compare growth in Poland or Estonia vs Ukraine or Russia from 1991 to now. Take into account where the growth comes from. In RF it's mostly gas and oil..
