Russia is a superpower? o-O I would understand if you put EU there. Or if you consider it to be separate states, Germany, UK, and France. Russia has not been a superpower since the collapse of USSR and even regaining those territories (which is not going to happen) won't turn them into one. Neither China, nor US are superpowers because they have a lot of land. They are superpowers because they have immense industries, which the world depends on.
