Well I won't disagree that Russia has good technological capability but I just ment it hasn't been as actively involved recently on an international level as NASA and the ESA. And although I personally don't have the data to compare Russia's space technology to the American and European technology, I honestly can't see how Russia could be decades ahead. I mean the technology that the ESA is currently researching are things like new propulsion systems which are previously unequaled. Maybe they don't have the best technology right now but they're definately looking into things which are on the leading edge.
