Then they still lost.
Russia's economy is shot. We're talking about a country that has a GDP of about 1.7t. US and EU, who are bankrolling the opposition, have more than 20 times that (23 and 17). If Russia went into total war mode and put its whole economy behind the war effort, all the West would have to put against it is about 5% of their economy to match it.
No matter how you spin it, this pretty much means that Russia will suffer.
Even if they turn out to win this war, their economy is shot, their international credit is shot, their international credibility as a military power is severely shaken (I mean, how much do you think a country could protect you from "the West" if they can't even win a war easily against a vastly inferior foe when they are really invested in?). Russia will descend into economic, political and military insignificance. Yes, they have nukes (that may or may not work...), but aside of that, why take them in any way serious? They'll be akin to North Korea: Annoying, but mostly irrelevant.
