As a numbers junkie I found the following page fascinating.

http://reports.weforum.org/global-co...s/#economy=RUS

Each of these numbers ranks a country out of 145 countries which were reviewed.

As far as major nations go, Russia really seems to be lower than I would expect in MANY categories.

The only major categories where it is in the top 30 is market size where it is at 7.

It was at 31 for macro economics, but I think the bottom has dropped out of that category with the drop in oil and the fall of the ruble. To be fair they are probably still ahead of the the US on this one (as the US is very weak in this one category, but is in the top 16 for nine of the other eleven categories)

Its next strongest are Higher Education and Infrastructure (both 39) where solid numbers in Quantity of Education, Railroads, Airplane Seat Miles and mobile phones provide a majority of the strengths.

Then the ratings really drop with every other category being below 45 and an overall numerical average of 61 and their weighted average of 53.

edit changed quality to quantity (they are still following Stalin I guess)
