The swing in much bigger in Russia. The graph is until 2011, now is heading down again.

A more important parameter is the GDP/capita:

I’m totally agree that GDP per capita is more important and I also a strong believer in an idea that demand for freedom and a rule of law in any society is heavily related to a higher respective number. That is why I think that Western solution to the Ukrainian crisis which is to choke Russia economically is absolutely stupid and would only bring an opposite result.
