MOSCOW, December 27 (RIA Novosti) - Russia will spend 2.1 trillion rubles (about $70 billion) under a state program for the development of the national space industry in 2013-2020, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday.

“The total volume of funding is quite significant: 2.1 trillion rubles, including extrabudgetary sources,” he said.

I doubt it. Remember this is for all non-classified Russian space projects. Their equivalent of NASA, Roscosmos will only get part of that funding. In total it works out at $10 billion per year. NASA's budget is already $17 billion per year.
Roscosmos currently gets around $3.8 billion per year.
