>Putin has shown restraint over past two decades
Ask the people living in Georgia, Ukraine, and occupied Chechnya about how much "restraint" Russia has shown them.
>Those who may replace him, real hardliners, may be less restrained.
In the context of geopolitics Putin is the hardliner. The other "hardliners" are all puppets that are used to give the illusion of dissent in Russia.

And the government of Georgia resist attempts to draw it in war with Russia like crazy, so they also appreciate the peace with Russia.
