So I assume Russia will join the EU 13 years after being utterly destroyed as Germany has been joining the EU in 1958 - we have only very limited data points here. Though because of the Russian scare of the 50s perhaps Germany was let in earlier then one would have guessed. We would need an external threat like China that unites the EU with Russia, something very unlikely from the current point in time.
