This paper examines Russia's economic and political developments in the past decades. The author provides an overview of the changes that have occurred so far and urges the West, especially the US, to stay engaged with Russia. The paper concludes that one desirable western move would be to reduce Russia's debt burden to a level that the Russian government can meet without crippling its ability to finance economic expansion.
