The combination of growing alcoholism and criminalization of Russian society is unlikely to destroy the Putin regime. These two interrelated trends, however, demonstrate a pivot toward increased stagnation and growing social apathy within Russian society. If these trends continue to develop in parallel with further the destabilization of ethnically non-Russian regions, mounting military losses, and a crumbling economy, Russia may begin to rupture and experience a partial disintegration in the near future.
IMHO, ruzzia will eventually disintegrate.
Perhaps the first domino is Siberia declaring independence from Muscovy and alignment with China.

Putin’s plan to resurrect the Soviet Union is succeeding!
