Are you hoping people won't look past the misleading google chart that ends in 2013?

Russia's GDP has been reliably falling since then. http://www.tradingeconomics.com/russia/gdp-per-capita-ppp

Are you hoping I won't type /china/ in the URL? The statement "average gdp of Russians dropping below that of China" is still not true. Though I am not an expert on the subject, nor do I have a interest in Russia.

I thought you were contesting the bigger argument that Russia's economy is stagnating, since the link you provided did not contradict anything else (there was no reference to China).
