      They haven’t been a superpower in any sense of the term in decades. They haven’t had any real economic power in a long time and their military has proven not to have any power. They don’t have any diplomatic power anywhere that matters. What makes them powerful? Sure, they have a nuclear arsenal, but other countries have nuclear weapons and they are not superpowers. At best, Russia is a regional power.
