For the property rights, we can clearly see that the United State is up ahead because of Russia's socialistic ideas in the economic system, but we see an improvement in property right (2016-2017)

For government spending, I'm pretty shocked at the similarities between Russia and the United States. But the similarities comes from how the Russian's economic system is being run. Of course the United States have more money than Russia, but their economic system is based on the government having a big control in the economy.

This clearly shows how the transition from a controlled economic system to a mixed economic system. This increased trade freedom, because it allowed them to globally export goods much easier.

GDP per Capita.

The United States GDP is 3.6 times Russia's GDP. This is most likely due to the higher amount of education levels required in the USA. In the US the average School life expectancy is 18 years, while in Russia it is 15 years.

Life Expectancy

The United State's life expectancy is approximately 10 more years higher than Russia's. This is due to the fact that the US spends 17% of its GDP on health, While on the other hand Russia spends 7.1 of its GDP on health. Additionaly 100% of United State's buildings are sanitized, In contrast 72.4% of Russian buildings are sanitized.
