Russia controls most of Europe's natural gas, which heats homes, and rises with oil prices. They've already built large country-to-country pipelines to distribute their gas, and plan to continue their massive pipelines in a tree of sorts from Russia as far as to England, and Scandinavian countries, and also to the south.

They should see tremendous economic growth over the next few decades I believe, and also Putin really built the country back up during his term. Since he basically or did appoint the new guy, I'd expect he's still running things essentially too.
