Russia is not a superpower. It has a huge nuclear capability, but economically it is far from being a superpower. Its GDP is 8th in the world just behind Brazil and ahead of Italy. It has a fertility rate of 1.61% and the life expectancy for males is 64.7%. Average life expectancy is 70.16 years making in 151st in the world.
