You sound like a Russian political expert.
Or, a wishful thinker.
The Russians have a 'cursed capacity for suffering' as was pointed out in Dr. Zhivago.
Look at Russian history and you will see a history of revolts when the wars go on and on or they lose. You don’t have to be an expert on Russian history. The whipped cur comes out in the long run.
