Please... do not make references to Putin commanding anything. He ruined his country in building a corrupt "vertical of power" destroying a free market and making everybody dependent on government handouts to ensure voting outcomes, but people are getting increasingly impoverished and don't buy the propaganda anymore. He does not enjoy the majority support anymore that he used to have. Even his most bold supporters are questioning the country's direction and personal costs to them (sanctions and drop in the quality of life and income levels). Nobody will protect Putin if there's any commotion, he'll be let to fall down easily. What he stands for is expired right now as nobody in the world wishes to talk to him, but he may be able to make it to his physical expiration just because people do not want to start a bloody coup that will cause a loss of life to many others. The country is his personal criminal enterprise right now with profits going directly to him and his close circle of friends. As a result, to maximize profits everything non-productive short-term was run into the ground - education, medicine, science. He's like the most destructive force that happened to the country in a very long time.
All he stands for has been proven wrong and it is just a matter of time before he and his system falls to its knees. There is nothing here to admire and forecast a decent future for. Btw, the oil&natural gas fueled economy is about to crash as well, on the same time horizon as his physical well-being perspectives. As we all know, the renewable energy will win. He is a fossil, same as his fossil fueled economy.
