It is no secret China and India would be futures of space. USA and Russia fell greatly behind with major disasters for the US and now Russia. India and China have a mass population behind them that can work on such projects with cheaper labor.
Russia will be its own thing. Their military satellite launches are just fine. Same with their launches of people to the space station. Their modules had some issues but that is speculated to be sabotage (drilled holes in module). Otherwise it all works fine. It just seems their landers have issues landing on the planet.
Whatever, some people are crying far too much about it.
Edit: Russia will continue to do such projects, and will continue to fund development. A lot of these projects are important not for what they will do in space but the technology being developed. For instance, Roscosmos makes semiconductors for their own specific needs which is used for military as well. Then there is also that they make nuclear missiles for Russian military.
It may be better to actually separate the company. Possibly move production of nuclear missiles and such away from Roscosmos, so they have a very specific spectrum to work with.
