- KETpXDDzR 4y agoAccording to Adam Curtis [0], Putin might be a puppet, controlled by a group of oligarchs. The hope that once Putin goes, everything will be alright is an utopian idea. IMO the Russian government might use Putin as a scapegoat, replace him, and use that to deny any wrongdoing ("It was all his idea").
