Russia has been on the international stage as a superpower of 10 centuries, reaching its peak in the second half of the twentieth century, when under the leadership of the U.S.S.R. dominated the socialist world, owning the northern half of Asia and the eastern half of Europe, when it had twice the surface area of any other state on Earth, being as much as the USA, China and India together. Even after the most spectacular growth, it experienced its greatest decline, the current Eurasian power and center of Orthodox civilization being in a severe demographic decline, increasingly disadvantaged compared to its highly populated neighbors and in a space crisis and being in the vicinity of the second great dismemberment after the one in 1991, risking its decline to critical dimensions, which would turn it into a small retrograde power, representing the definition of geopolitical failure and probably becoming a shameful case study of this early 21st century. However, there could be a set of perfect geopolitical decisions, which would prevent the national failure and the split of the country, avoiding a foreshadowed scenario for the current century, from which Russia could return among the world's powers, with vast natural, subsoil and agricultural resources so necessary to the booming economies of Asia or the growing population of Africa, giving the opportunity to this old people be respected and courted by all major importers of raw materials.

The US set the tone for modern development with ingenious tactics whereby the economy produces little and grows much, dominating the world market worker. Now, the European Union giving up industry, is trying to copy its strategy, but with a delay that can endanger the entire European Union, while China remains with the old strategy held by : Germany, the USSR or Japan in the past, of industrialization and production in mass for domestic and foreign markets. The three areas hold more than 20 trillion US dollars, being the mega-powers of the current world, while the rest of the states, with three exceptions (Japan 5 trillion, Great Britain and India each 3 trillion) have values below 2.5 trillion : Brazil, Russia, Canada, Australia and so on.
