Investors avoid Russia for its decelerating GDP (~1.5% in 2013), bad demographics, high corruption, etc. What they fail to see is that current valuation assumes the worst case scenario and ignores the positive changes: increased dividend yield, stable salary growth that combined with decelerating inflation results in higher purchasing power.
