> I don't see a scenario where Russian leaders are put on trial without Russia being itself invaded and conquered (not likely to happen as long as they have nuclear weapons) or the Russian government collapsing (more likely, but I wouldn't count on it).

He will have lost the illusion of invincible strength.
