Russia is becoming increasingly irrelevant and powerless. The economy is tiny for it's size and Europe has been reducing its dependence on Russian natural gas.

That also makes me worried, because they're a nuclear nation and when someone is cornered or has nothing left to lose they can become seriously dangerous.

They're waiting for climate change to kick in in earnest and free the northern passage. Then I guess they can act like rentiers and charge shipping for using it. Other than that as long as Putin stays in power nothing will ever change. Maybe the next czar will be more progressive. Who knows.
