    The Russia's industrial potential

    Can we use "the" in this phrase? I realize that "the" can't modify the word Russia, but can it modify the whole phrase? Or is it a bad, bad mistake?

    Nope, it's a mistake.

    Either Russia's industrial potential or The industrial potential of Russia.
