While getting rid of Putin is good, I don't expect them to get better for some time.
There will be civil war and regions breaking away
did you read the source properly?
Put on your reading glasses - it’s from https://londonlovesbusiness.com/
from their website:

Perhaps you should read - as you consider yourself the “savor” of Putin?
Perhaps the two of you need to wait before you type?
Putin Assassination Attempt: Russian President’s Movements Were Compromised; Several Security Service Agents Arrested After 3 Bodyguards Disappear
I find it an interesting turning point in “Russian” as opposed to “East Slavic/Kievan Rus” history the time when Ivan Grozny (the terrible) destroyed Novgorod.
Novgorod was a northern “republic” and far, far frier than Moscow.
Moscow’s Dukes got their power by being tax-collectors for the Mongol Khagan. Alexander Nevsky, the great Moscow “saint” fought against the West on behalf of the Great Khans..
Later the “Dukes” became “Grand Dukes” and took over more and more land from the Mongol Khaganate.
As the Khaganate split into the Golden Horde-Chagatai-Ilkhanate-Yuan etc., the Muscowites took their chance, absorbing more of the splinters.
The Grand Dukes became Caesars (Tsars) when Constantinople fell. And then they went on to become Mongol Khagans with the collapse of the Yuan at the same time.
Muscowy is the inheritor of the absolutist rule of the Great Khans. If Novgorod had won (not theoretically possible), then “Russian” history would have been quite different
interesting Ivan - did the Kremlin tell you “it was just a ..”?
Don’t compare Trump to Putin — that’s a Democrat talking.
Trump is an elected official. Putin is a dictator who has been in power for 22 years.
Putin is, along with Xi Jinping, a globalist - he wants a world dominated by him and Xi
No waiting necessary - already knew of this earlier. So you’re late.
There is no reliable or verified information publicly available to confirm the alleged attempt on Putin’s life
The identity of the account holder of General SVR is unknown and has been linked to a number of different actors, from Ukraine’s intelligence agencies to a former Russian Foreign Intelligence Service official, although neither of these has been confirmed.
Some also suspect it to be a Russian security services operation, perhaps as a way of weeding out moles in the president’s circle.

“If Novgorod had won (not theoretically possible), then “Russian” history would have been quite different”
Well, when I play Europa Universalis IV I can win with Novgorod. Not easy, but it can be done if you pounce on Muscovy at just the right time, usually when they are tied up fighting someone else. But then Novgorod just becomes Russia, because you are basically forced to expand in the same direction, since you cannot challenge Scandinavia or Poland-Lithuania for a long time, and once you expand that way, you end up having all the same problems and enemies that Russia historically had.
But your political ethos differs as you won’t go down the autocrat route
I don’t know, you’ve never seen me play EU IV :)
All ethos go out the window when I can grab another sliver of territory to gain more of those sweet “Great Power” ranks.
