IMHO Russia does not have the population to be a "Pole" in a multi polar world. The USSR had a much larger pop + the eastern bloc was definitely a "pole". But with 144m Russia can hope to be an influential country within a bloc at the most. The USA + EU+ Japan is close to 800M people. Even with CIS the pop is only 214m.
Russia will not be the center of anything,
But Russia with the CIS, and China and India has a block of 2.5 billion or a little more than 1 out of every 4 people on this pale blue dot.
Like I said, influential member of a bloc. China will be the center of that group. I do worry that Russia can get a fair shake with China. But there is no question China will be the leader of this bloc. Russia will be the mediator between India and China.
It requires more to be influential in the world than economy and population although yes they are prerequisites
It requires above all else the protection of your own interests, and protection of self determination for people anywhere
Russia is more adept at this than China or India, hence why westerners say that we punch above our political "weight class"
It's got nothing to do with raw numbers, and more the ability to create something in space that is left behind by retreating globalism/Liberalism
Chinese have yet to produce a thinker like Dugin, which can challenge liberal heavyweights like Henri Bernard Levy
In fact Russia has more positions in Africa than China due to its raw geopolitical experience
Which China is still a Dwarf in , and it shows in the Himalayas, south pacific and east pacific
While Russia will not be the center of anything, it will represent and does represent the second largest pole in the world after Globalist Liberalism
Without a doubt Russki Mir has already shown itself as a viable pole, which China dreams of producing,
We will see about Taiwan, but what Russia has done in Ukraine
Shows the infancy of states like China, India, and the rest of global south in having a seat at the table
Organizations like UN, will not decide anything
Only cultural and historical power, roots, and the ability to shape your interests will decide whether you sit at the table or not
And so far Putin, And thinkers like Dugin have succeeded where the Chinese have not
