Russia has for centuries been a country rich in resources but poor in the standard of living of most of its population. This article explores some of the reasons for this historically and currently, and notes that the main reasons for continued backwardness of the economy are the organizational structure of the society, the ideological views of governing elites, and the lack of opportunity for the population to exercise its skills and engage in aspirational activities.
