Article missed one of the distinct possibilities. Now that Putin controls the legislative branch, he has enough votes there to change the constitution to allow him to run for President again in March. I see that as more probable than the Prime Minister scenario.

“In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, ‘Make us your slaves, but feed us.’” (Dosteovsky’s Grand Inquisitor.)

You can not have a Russia, without Slavs.

Today the republic's economy has ground to a halt, unemployment approaches 70%

I doubt this is true. Russia is becoming a magnet for foreign investors.

Me thinks they are looking at the Chinese model as the way forward.
