Most of the Russian economy is based on exploiting (Gas, Oil, Steel etc.) and/or reliance (Metro, Railways, Housing, Water Treatment, Powerplants) on Soviet era infrastructure. The high levels of corruption in government and instability of investments has made the primary goal of owners and investors to gain as much profit as possible and get it out of the country - I don't expect any really positive developments for decades.
