That's some great info and thanks for sending those. Check out another one I found -- "Russia US Trade up 25% in 2017" https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenroberts/2017/04/22/russia-u-s-trade-up-25-in-2017-as-trump-offers-thumbs-down-on-exxonmobil-waiver/#10250c992657 https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenroberts/2017/04/22/russia-u-... There no doubt that Russia is still a major player in trade, in fact economists see it as one of the countries with the most potential for development in BRIC (brasil russia india china). Unfortunately, the way the strata of government and society are has left the population to stagnate in terms of their well being and they are missing the opportunities in new-age, non-oligarchical industries - Russia is held back by its antiquated social structures and lacks incentive to change.
