It's what happens when you don't diversify, and have a socialistic government. Russia doesn't use communism nor socialism in their economy. It's how they're able to sustain. Russia has a very low corporate tax rate. How you run your government is very important. Also Russia is mostly homogeneous. Give me a country who's successful that is not homogeneous like America, and that uses socialism. America's white population is 61%. I'll give you the leeway of 80%. Hell most successful countries in Europe are over 90% white. Those countries need to diversify.
