Yes, if Putin had embraced democratic values, and cooperated with the west. Russia could have had more than 30 years of steady progress, and be the biggest economy in Europe.
But apparently that wasn't good enough for Putin. Instead he wanted to recreate the Soviet Union?!
Talk about a wasted opportunity!
