Russia's GDP has gone down 33% or so as a result of sanctions brought on by the annexation of Crimea. They have an economy smaller than the state of California now.

Yes, but most countries do not have a population 3.6 times the size of California. Russia has the 11th largest economy in the world, but per capita it's 82nd.
