Superficial order, it is not everything what citizen expect from his country. (Perhaps Russia is a bit different due to previously mentioned specific Russian mentality) So if Putin is not able to provide necessary conditions to build modern state, someone with an idea should replace him. But this is not possible because former KGB apparatus consolidated all powers and wont give it back. Endless loop…

What would you say if Putin became Gazprom chairman, the new oligarch?

Why is becoming "modern" necessarily better? That is our first problem. Modernism hasn't solved anything.

If I were Russian, I would rather have that than a bunch of closet Israelis running Gazprom.
