This probably can’t be answered properly but if Putin died tonight (god I hope he does) would this carry on? Would his cheerleaders and right hand men keep this going or is it really just down to him?

I'm purely guessing but I think he has a small percentage of devotees and the rest hate him or fear him.

One of Putin's big theories is that Slavs (Russians, Ukrainians et al) are not mere mortals. They share a particular alpha male mentality. Big drinkers, big fighters. He believes the namby-pamby West is in fatal decline and that the rest of the century will belong to the Slavs and the Chinese.

He's way off the mark in a lot his conclusions, but never underestimate the willingness of a Slav to fight to the death. Looks like Putin has underestimated it.

Why would Russia or more importantly Putin agree to this?
