Russia hasnt lost it. It is the corrupt politicians who have tarnished the image and screw the economy. Let the people rise and media help them and they will bounce back.

Russia had been the only Euopean power to support the Federal government during the Civil War, and was on very friendly terms. After the Polish rebellion in 1863, Russia was very strapped for cash, and Alaska was very isolated and not paying for itself. There was also the problem that England, which held Canada and was opposing Russia as it moved south from Siberia towards India, might start some sort of military action against Alaska that Russia could not support. It would be better to sell Alaska rather than watch it be stolen.

ever since the break up of russia its nowhere near as powerful and the US is the most technically advanced country on the planet so there is only ever going to be one winner in that battle

I'd say it is highly unlikely. You would need the 16 component nations to join together. You would need them all to have Communist Governments and for all their leaders to perceive their interests as being best reflected in a new Federation. Thirdly, you would need Russia to be a great power and I don't foresee that happening for a whole range of reasons.

The Soviets exhausted too much of their resources and drained their country. Socialism is great; in theory.

I would be very leary of any company based in Russia. Almost all the operators there are crooks.

I see why you ask this. Russia, beyond a shadow of a doubt, does sponsor and fund terrorism. Their economy is down now, but because of their tremendous oil reserves will rise again. Russia has been and will continue to be an "ally of convenience". Whatever they agree to, and work towards will always be in the best interest of Russia and no one else. Certainly you know the answer to your question is "No.", but Russia will not be a sleeping giant forever.

Russia is no longer a communist country. It change with Gorbachav when the Berlin wall was demolished.

Hahaha! I like the spirit but perhaps this should be answered by someone unbiased and neutral.. that's me!\n\nWhile the USSR was truly mighty once upon a time, currently the strongest military force on the planet is the USA, whether you like it or not. Russia still has a formidable arsenal but they are certainly not as powerful as the US of A. Also, their economy will not be able to bear the strain of a full fledged modern conflict and so the USA it is again.

The only way it can be brought back is if Congress brings it back. Write to your congressmen about it.

Its not just EU, Russia is ramping up their military again. They are coming out with a lot of new and improved weapons systems. When you read the propaganda about them you almost always read, "able to evade, penetrate, destroy the current US systems." Not sure if they are trying to start the cold war all over again or are putting that info on their sales brochures for market to countries like Iran and North Korea. Why can't we just all get a long?

Russia is one of my favorite , its obvious that they will be competing for the  gold medal at least . I would put Finland on 2 nd place and Belarus on 3rd . Belarus is very strong and potential . So called "dark horse"  . You never know what to expect from them , despite recent loss to Sweden . Its because Belarus ruled by dictator like in Soviet Union times .  Lukashenko said " You have to get a medal  " .

How would this help regain it's past glory?  Even when it was the Soviet Union it had a lot of internal problems which still plague it today.  That's what caused the Soviet Union to collapse in the first place.  I doubt Iran going to war would help them in anyway because it'd disrupt oil production from the country for a period of time (if a ground war broke out).
