I voted other, and say:
Russia will continue to do what it has done since the formation of Muscovy. That is, consistantly lag behind the nations of the west and spend itself into the poorhouse in an attempt to catch up. There have always been slight increases in societal living, followed by great downturns, but this has been the general trend for the past 700 years, and Russian society and politics show no signs of deviating from this.
