Putin is pragmatic. He would solve problems here. Cut the parasites off the dole and cut bureaucrats to the bone with their bloated salaries/benefits. He would be a painful choice but he would make some very good choices which I would cheer and some horrific choices which I would abhor.
How old are you? And what do you know about Russian bureaucrats? Our pencil pushers are amateurs compare to Russians. Your naivety and luck of the knowledge of Russian government system is amazing.
