You can say that, but you look at the chart of GDP per capita of Russia vs. the US since 2000: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?end=2020&locations=RU-US&start=2000 https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?end=2020...

Tellingly, this one sees Russia drop out of the top 10 entirely.
