In some ways it's not surprising. Often developing countries eg those in Africa struggle because the more developed countries flood their markets and this doesn't give those countries the time to develop their own versions at competitive prices.
China often makes these arguments and suggests that help should be given to countries (infrastructure, financing) to allow their own indigenous markets to develop. Later they will be able to compete on an international level but initially fledgling industries need protection. The West never sees it this way. It's free markets all the way which clearly benefits them as they buy up the natural resources from these countries, produce whatever and then sell the product back profit margins fully protected.
Obviously it's more complicated than I'm making it out to be, but I hope Russia will use this space to their advantage and later, when it can, maybe help other countries to develop similarly.
