Good point. Except you're forgetting Marshal plan wasn't only for Germany and Japan.

Not forgetting. Wartime allies, totally vanquished foes, and newly minted countries. Russia in 1991 was neither.
US did in fact do another Marshall Plan after WW2, catapulting China into 21st century. But that help came after a very deep strategic understanding between US's and China's ruling class. Again, nothing of the sort happened with Russia nor was it possible.
