You're ignoring that Russia ≠ the Soviet Union. The end of the USSR created today's geopolitical landscape, which bears no resemblance to that of post-war until 1989. The resources of Russia are not remotely comparable to the resources of the Soviet Union plus the eastern bloc countries.

You're ignoring Russian history since WWII. Russia still has one of the largest militaries and military capabilities in the world. Russian engagements in former USSR countries have also been significant.
