Putin in hot water? Who will win the Russian showdown?

Putin is establishment, and establishment is falling apart everywhere. Navalny is NEW, and has upward momentum.

They need an excuse to retire Putin.

Russia has already been thru 2 revolutions. the last one in 1991 was relatively tame and controlled.

I dont think there will be a 3rd violent revolution in Russia. However, the entire planet may implode politically and Russia may get drawn into violence with its neighbors.

Russian here. Definitely no. There's no need in it, Putin is old, it's his last presidential term. And also in order for Russia to have a revolution, you need to infuriate metropolitan residents to the extreme and it is far frоm it right now. I mean most Moscovites dislike Putin's politics, his ratings are quite low in the capital, but life in Moscow is comfortable and well-off, it's not the situation when people would go on the White House like in 90s.
