Despite recent political turmoil that affected Russia's stock markets with its benchmark RTS index falling from 2,100 to 1,300, investments in Russia are likely to pay off in the long-run. Russia is rich in natural resources, has qualified labour and low level of indebtedness. The country may become the most promising emerging market over the next years. Even now, when world's strongest economies dive in financial difficulties Russia expects the GDP growth of 4% in 2011, according to the Royal Bank of Scotland.
