At least in PPP Russia is already larger then Brazil, France and the UK, and Germany and Japan are both very quickly going down the shitter with no indications that they will ever bounce back anytime in the future. I don't think Russia will ever be larger then India going forward but hence 4th place instead of 3rd.
Right, the population is ultimately the big limiting factor for Russia. India has 1.4 billion people, and that translates to vastly large productive forces in the country. It just wouldn't make sense for a country of 144 million people to beat India in terms of productivity.
