what do you think the next leader of Russia is going to be like?
Think about it for awhile.
What type of man can survive the murder and mayhem that Putin has perpetrated over the last 20 years. His replacement might not be who we think it is and may be worse.
As they say, "better the devil you know than the devil you don't know,"
Possibly.
But hes dying and trying desperately to build a legacy for himself here. And its not going the way he envisioned.
So many here underestimated him. I didnt. He was kgb and hardcore commie. A guy like him doesnt change because the ussr dissolves and a new country name gets slapped on.
