Answer 1

nothing, they just prefer do not scream about it loudly

Answer 2

I believe Russia is a growing, expanding nation. They are super power, along with China and US. I haven't lived there long, but i think politic and business has been mixed up a bit. Not too mention the mafia involved.  

Answer 3

They have all the military and firepower they need, they just lack the economical stability, and their involvement with other countries hasn't been their strongest point as of late.  As a superpower nation, you can be great, but to get there you need allies.  America is almost dry of oil; we get most of it from canada and mexico these days, and our nation wouldn't be where it's at today without allies like that.

Answer 4

Russia already is a super power, and will remain that way because unlike the US they have the most important aspect, they have a leader that knows how to propel them into the future! V. Putin is a strong leader that knows what must be done and what's more important, how to do it!

Answer 5

Time. And they need to modernize their Air Force and Navy. Slowly and surely they have re energized over the last 17 years.  

Answer 6

Russia is already a Superpower.
