After Russia had defeated Napoleon's armies, its land power might be compared to the naval power of Great Britain. At the time of napoleon's defeat, Russia's armed forces numbered close to 800,000 troops. Despite the Russian progress, it actually began losing ground in economics and technology between 1815 and 1880. Part of this was evident in its loss in the Crimean War of 1854 to 1856.Despite that war, Russia cannot be said to have been standing still.
It's population grew from 51 million to 76 million in 1860 and to 100 million in 1880.
The pluses were the growth in iron and textiles. Factories and other industrial enterprises rose from 2,400 in 1804 to 15,000 by 1860. Machines it itself could not build were imported from the West and its railway expansion began to expand in the 1830's.
Russia's problem was that it could not keep pace with the rest of Europe. By 1890, Russia's GNP of $21 billion ranked above that of France, but trailed behind Britain and Germany.
However, with that said, Russia's military power remained strong in 1890.
