@EconLessons That already happened in 1917 and in 1991 and you're complaining about the current leadership. If you bring the country to its knees economically then the people will accept anyone who brings relative stability. Maybe Russia isn't some utopia but their standard of living is higher now than it has ever been so why would they clamour for a shake up? Also might I add the opportunity to have a western style Russia was blown in the 1990s. Rather than prop it up and provide EU style subsidies they allowed Russia to flounder and be taken over by "Russian" mafia and "Russian" oligarchs and their cousins in the US came over like vultures to make a quick buck. So you got Putin who put the country back on its feet using the tools at his disposal. So you want to destabilze Russia and think you're going to get some Russian Justin Trudeau to run the place? A western style leader wouldn't last a week in that country.
