    Germany on the top of few European countries pay what equals to 700 million dollars everyday to Russia, this is only from European countries, china pay 80% of that amount. and you should consider India, some African and Latin America countries as well.

    This is only comes from oil and gas. don`t forget they invest in space, technology, military. the military products of Russia are used in more than 90 countries, and these products require maintenance and spare parts, and all this should be done by the manufacturer. For example when Russia sends an engineer to turkey to check or fix the S400, turkey pay 10s of thousands of dollars each day for this engineer and all this goes to the Russian government. same apply on the other products.
