list of exports in millions of dollars.
also russia is on 21 in the world in the list of imports in millions of dollars: 231 551. seems low, but the 4th country in the world at imports is japan with a bit under 3x russia.
They can still sell a lot of that to China and India, who have higher populations than the entire EU and North America combined. Never mind Israel Iran UAE Africa and South America.
