What does post-Putin Russia look like? Who is his likely successor?

Worst nightmare scenario? Kadyrov.

Whomever succeeds Putin will be transitory. If it s another Putin type then the what money is left in Russia will be siphoned away into the oligarchs western and off shore bank accounts at an even faster rate. The Russian economy is destroyed and neither Putin or his successor will be able to change course.
Foreign investment will not return because the risks are too high. Oil and gas isn’t enough.

Because regime change does not work, you moron.

I’m not advocating it but discussions about hopes for it are oddly silent. Didn’t the US support zelensky, the Ukrainian president?

You might remember Trump undercutting Zelensky at every opportunity.

The FSB tends to discourage this with shootings, poisoning, throwing people out of fourth floor windows and gulags.
