How does it look from your perspective at Russian prospects post-Putin? He's not that old but he has to retire at some point right?

- atemerev 8y agoThe consensus inside Russia is that Putin now already doesn't hold much of the real power (he used to be a final arbiter between the warring factions), and is kept around as the symbolic figure of authority. From what I see, somebody from the same faction (state security apparatus) will replace Putin, and everything will be more or less the same. Or not -- it is Russia, we are famous for being unpredictable.
