Russian Economy Slow to Recover, World Bank Says

This article describes the reasons why Russia's economy has been and may continue to be slow to recover from the global recession.  The author believes that an aging population, unproductive workers and low capital investment in particular are risks and problems for the Russian economy as it tries to bounce back.  The country's economy has not lived up to economists' expectations for the coming years, however it has still done better than many of its European neighbors.  What other factors do you see as a problem for the country in the coming months?  Would policy be needed or what techniques could help fix the issues?
