Venezuela, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are also all extraordinarily rich in natural resources. That hasn't turned any of those countries into modern economies. And it won't help Russia either. To the contrary.
It's difficult for an analysis to be so blind to the realities of the world..Russia has the largest reserves and undeveloped resource of energy in the world, produces 2/3 of the ammonium nitrate, has many minerals and metals desperately needed by the West, has an educational system without PC, gender studies, etc....has the most advanced missile technology, and produces surplus food that prevents global starvation...The US, China and EU need all this stuff, but somehow they are going to shut Russia out of the world economy? Ridiculous...
I guess that "educational system without gender studies" is what constitutes both the essence, and - at the same time - dumbest point of your whole comment. Which, in a way, set a quite low bar for the rest of it - and then delivers what is expected, then more.
Russia's economy is the size of Texas' and about to shrink radically. All its raw material exports can be substituted (eg, India is going to make up this summer's wheat shortfall), and eventually it'll just be a repository of cheap raw materials for China and perhaps India. Its tech is declining and about to fall off a cliff without access to components and know-how from around the world (all tech is global). The smart people will all leave, the situation is dire. The only escape is a complete overhaul of the government, with Putin and his cronies all to have their day in court as a precondition.
Perhaps railway will help bring Russia closer to the East. At the same time, the East is moving towards Central Asia. India and Iran are also converging into Central Asia. That said, all these will likely play out over a time frame that exceeds 50 years. Maybe 150 years?
Wouldn’t this open the frontier to China to invest and develop the Russian east? (Can’t China provide the capital and technology needed for import substitution and the move eastward?)
The only out for Russia is to blackmail the world. $100 billion and tech every month or else Putin presses the red button. He already did that with "don't help Ukraine or else" and "don't join the NATO or else". That's peanuts. At least 100 billion dollars every month would do it.
Are there any detailed study/analysis (book length/papers) of USSR technology import? On quantitative side? What technologies and what areas of production, etc.?

У нас другая проблема. Гуманитарные знания. Но с этим у всех проблема.

Will Russia not repeat the fate of the USSR?
Good thing for our side they can't steal technology because, clearly, Russia has no capacity for hacking.
Are there any detailed study/analysis (book length/papers) of USSR technology import? On quantitative side? What technologies and what areas of production, etc.?
