[quote=Anonymous]All these comments are cute, but I don't think you're thinking from a Russian Communists POV.  Putin falls ill or leaves his position - so what.  The only question is how many more are at the top?  Ex. If there was any doubt the head of RT, Margarita Simonyan, is on the crazy train...

Solovyov suggested pundit Yaakov Kedmi should help Simonyan look at the “bright side of life”, even though his prognosis of how Russia’s war against Ukraine would progress turned out to be completely off the mark. Instead of pitching in, Kedmi let out a long cough and refused the opportunity to lighten up the moment. Head of RT claimed that “her conscience and her knowledge about what’s going on” would not allow her to comment any further. After noting that the situation is very difficult, Simonyan decided to sing verses from an old Soviet song, “The March of the Red Cavalry.” Other panelists awkwardly looked down, as she sang and then reiterated the lyrics about moving forward and never backing down.

Simonyan called on the Russian people to push forward until the bitter end, squeezing out “nerus,” a disparaging term, used to describe anyone who is not Russian, along with “vyrus,” the word used to describe those who are Russian, but refuse to self-identify as such.

Concluding her bizarre performance on Solovyov’s show, Simonyan said: “People ask when, where and how our special operation will end. It will end when all the ‘nerus,’ all the ‘vyrus,’ everyone who wants to turn us into yahoos, everyone who directs them, everyone who brainwashes them, will suffer infamy and shame. It may take 3 months, 3 years or 30 years, so be it. What other choice do we have?” Solovyov replied: “Our other choice? Reduce the whole world to dust. Just not yet.” Smiling, Simonyan replied, “And we will go to heaven.”

Note that the final verse of the song is "we sacrifice our lives for the struggle"
