Russia is not a weak nation, and so far is about as ethnically homogenous as any Western European nation (roughly 80% of the population are ethnic Russian, as about 80% of Germany's population are ethnic German for example). It's military is also second only to the United States. Only the economy is weak, but it has managed to survive 5 years of sanctions and not collapse. In fact, it is still growing despite the sanctions, albeit at a lower rate.
