The folks that keep the Russian space industry runing, are old and literally dieing and taking their skills with them. They can’t hire new folks and train them in time, because they don’t pay them much of everything, and the old guys are afraid they’ll be fired if anyone else knows enough to replace them.

Soon both ex-superpower, could be ex spacefaring nations.
