Maybe, but they look like two separate problems to me.
Russia's is a "resource curse": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_curse
Our current financial system looks more like a twist on a "rent seekers": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_seeking
They're kind of similar, but only because resource curse countries end up with a bunch of rent seekers and corrupt officials.
