There are many ways to measure the recovery of Russia. The sharp increase of birth rates and declining rate mortality and morbidity are good examples to Russia’s road to recovery.

I am particular happy about the strong recovery of Russia’s female athletic prowess. http://en.rian.ru/sports/20100821/160288296.html
