1. Very low Public Debt and budget deficit, which means a high growth potential, opportunities for investment. While Europe, America and Japan are so much in Debt which doesn´t have room to maneuver. 2. A large $ 528 bn. foreign currency reserve and increasing gold reserves, which mean Russia can keep its investment even if oil prices fall. 3. New intercontinental Eurasian connections between Germany and China, which mean a logistics premium for investors. 4. An emerging and developing market in many areas (construction, manufacturing, agrobusiness) where Russia still has to catch up Western Europe or the U.S.....So, there are opportunities for investment, and just the need for capital, ideas, corporations and skilled people to develop those resources. Russia will continue its economic integration with both the European Union and Asia (China, Japan, S.Korea) Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan should be the first source for Russian immigrants while immigrants from Uzbekistan (at present the largest immigration source) should be restricted at least until its Government shows more cooperation with the Eurasian Union.

It is easy for corporations and rich people to move to another country to increase there profit margin.....

It is not likely many western corporations will move to Russia given their anticorruption policy.  However individuals who want to start legitimate businesses that are law abiding will definitely find it profitable in Russia.

This means that the income of Russians is very inequal. And a flat tax rate only widens the gap.
A flat tax means everyone is paying their fair share and the wealthy are not exempt.  This is why the US/EU don't have a flat tax.
