As I said in another thread, what happens with Russia (and world also) once Putin decides he had enough, marries that gook milf and opens a bear riding ranch in Siberia. This really got me thinking...
>Who takes over? >Do certain organizations, countries, nations or other social/political/ethnic groups decide to make a move against Russia and/or its interests (say Chechens or 'international community')? >Would this hypothetical leader manage to deal with the pressure that is bound to happen, and would he/she keep moving Russia in the same direction Putin did? >And most importantly, who are the most likely candidates to replace Putin?
Russia will be divided into different centers of power. You already have a National Guard created by Putin. Oligarchs have their money in the West, they see Putin doing not very well in Ukraine, Russia as a country is not developing. It's hard to predict, but anyway I think Russia will descend into some sort of chaos, because the state is in such terrible shape. Maybe Russia will finally become federal?
Oliver Price
But I just did.
I see what you're trying to say, but Russia is already a federation. Some decentralization is likely to take place though, if the next leader happens to be a cuck compared to Putin... and it's pretty hard to not be a cuck when compared to Putin.
Levi Johnson
I doubt Russia lacks communist shitheads.
Jace Walker
Medvedev takes over and with his mildly more liberal views the West touts it as a new era, relations are repaired and everything in Russia continues more or less as before.
Liam Hall
And how exactly is Putin a communist? In a Marxist/Leninist sense? Lol no In a Stalinist sense? Again no... similarities and connections are so vague and overstretched that it's rally no different than saying Trump is literally Hitler.
Gabriel King
>Russia is already a federation it's not, it's centralized, honest Russian writers admit that
Ryder Foster
As it usually happens in Russia, the present dictator appoints his successor, it's usually a former KGB/FSB high-ranking officer. Or a former oligarch who wants to control the state.
It's not going to be some unknown guy who wins the elections based on a political platform.
Just typical Russian politics. Everything is decided by the power already in place. There is a reason why this happens, so that the ex-presidents can enjoy the fortunes they made by stealing from their own people in peace. So Putin will retire most likely either at his Socci luxury vills, in Switzerland or he will be running Gazprom, to make sure he still controls a big source of power.
But most likely, he will change places with the prime minister again. And so on, until he's too old to stay in power.
Elijah Morales
Any leader comming after Putin will be more nationalistic and anti-west. Its in western interest to hope Putin survives 100 years.
Lucas Smith
Always fun reading buthurt belt insight into Russia.

>Who takes over? Medvedev. I'd love to see someone new. I am so sick of Putin's friends. >Do certain organizations, countries, nations or other social/political/ethnic groups decide to make a move against Russia and/or its interests (say Chechens or 'international community')? Impossible. >Would this hypothetical leader manage to deal with the pressure that is bound to happen, and would he/she keep moving Russia in the same direction Putin did? Medvedev would certainly follow in Putin's footsteps. >And most importantly, who are the most likely candidates to replace Putin? Medvedev or another one of his friends.
Bentley Adams
They get another Boris Yeltsin for a while and then another dictator because Russians aren't able to live without a one and they need some kind of figure to worship
Connor Thomas
You really think it would be possible for a centralized government to run such a huge country? I'm not an expert on Russian federal organization, but from what I can gather federal units can pass their own legal acts... the fact that everyone there reveres Putin and his government might limit that to a some (possibly even large) extent. I guess Chechnya will be the first to bear the fruits of this decentralization after Putin leaves the office, if the following leader allows for it... Who knows how the rest of the states are going to react.
Really? Medvedev looked more liberal... or at least more limp-wristed since he was basically just a Putin's buddy... Sergei Lavrov (although he doesn't look to interested in running a country from what I can see) doesn't look more nationalist than Putin either. I dunno all that much about the rest of your politicians... I saw that one army guy in his 40s that looked like Mirko Cro Cop and thought that he could be a Putin tier badass, though. There was an article somewhere about him being a potential 'replacement' for Putin
>Who takes over? - Medvedev That would really be boring... I kinda think of him as of Russian Obama. >Do certain organizations (...) decide to make a move against Russia and/or its interests - Impossible. You don't think anyone might grow a bit cocky once Putin steps down? I kinda feel like there would be terrorist attacks in Russia already if they weren't afraid of repercussions.
John Robinson
>Medvedev. I'd love to see someone new. I am so sick of Putin's friends.
What are you fucking talking about, Putin has Medvedev on a fucking leash.
Gabriel Perez
>You really think it would be possible for a centralized government to run such a huge country? No, but public services in Russia are disappearing. Putin already talks about "optimalization" of healthcare for instance
>Always fun reading buthurt belt insight into Russia I was expecting to see a typically russian response. You guys never tell the truth and deny everything, that's at the foundations of this country
Hudson Robinson
this
David Ortiz
still got some years yet, probably another ex kgb guy will take the reigns when he dies
Connor Turner
I keep telling you Russian bros you have to get rid of the commies once and for all.
Parker Cook
>Russian Obama. Yeah, that's true >You don't think anyone might grow a bit cocky once Putin steps down? Our secret service is really good. They will keep Russia safe for a while.
Julian Rivera
I wish we could. The propaganda here is really effective and most Russians worship Putin like a god.
Dylan Nguyen
Same can be said about you, sneaky filthy pole.
Austin Mitchell
>What are you fucking talking about, Putin has Medvedev on a fucking leash. That's probably the reason why Medvedev can be the number one pick for Putin when he eventually wants to step down. You see, you don't want to hand the country over to a person you're not 100% sure of and find yourself being handed over to the Hague for innumerable crimes against humanity as you're enjoying your retirement on your bear riding ranch.
And Medvedev is someone Putin seems to trust, after he made no attempt to seize the power for himself while he had a chance during his four years.
Dominic Fisher
>Same can be said about you, sneaky filthy pole But it wasn't us who denied Katyn or invasion on Ukraine, serf. Everybody in Russia is lying, even now you're lying, serf. Even the head of your church is a KGB agent, serf
James Hernandez
When russia will take over finland?
Ryan Howard
Might have something to do with the pic? He might be a corrupt remnant of the Soviet Empire but he's still helped your country far more than the so called "liberal democrats" that the Western countries like so much ever could.
Jayden Gray
Medvedev will take over. People who think that Putin isn't just a popular figurehead are retarded.
>serf You aren't talking to Ukrainians, Janusz. We took away your serfs and made your nobility our lap dogs after they chimped out like retards because they thought they don't have to serve in the army like everybody else in the empire does.
Jaxon Garcia
soon you have no snipers to defend you now chink
Oliver Reyes
I'm not saying Putin is horrible but a lot of his decisions are questionable.
Caleb Bennett
Do you people actually think that Putin doesn't have a young upstart guy ready to take his place?
Josiah Fisher
I'm waiting an answer from a russbro.
Nolan Price
Putin is just a face. When he leaves, those who are currently in power will just find another one.
Josiah Gray
>We took You did shit Mychajło. More like your overlord told you to, if anything, don't get too edgy
>You aren't talking to Ukrainians At least Ukraine and Belarus were finally taken away from Moscow. You should thank the catholic church that was planted there. And others are watching, serf
Blake Jenkins
If a strong-willed authoritative ruler doesn't rise and seize the power quickly, shit might hit the fan there. Russian holops need a patriarchal strong father figure to worship, without it they lose all purpose. But it is likely Putin has groomed himself a successor already.
Russia still s no different than from under the Tsars.
Luis Rivera
>Putin is just a face. The only correct answer
Parker Harris
>You did shit Mychajło. I'm not Belarusian either, Janusz. You do realize you're a descendant of sefs yourself, right? We and Germans basically genocided Polish nobility over the years of you being our bitch boys.
>At least Ukraine and Belarus were finally taken away from Moscow. Last time I checked Ukraine was completely useless and Belarusian was a minority language in Belarus.
Thomas Gray
>SHUT... IT... DOOOOOOOWN!!!
James Watson
>We yes, you was kangz
>genocided Polish nobility about 50%, but at least the culture survived. Who would want to be a dirty serf in the end
>Ukraine was completely useless the ferment counts
>Belarusian was a minority language in Belarus wait patiently, there's no need to rush, anti-russian agents are doing their job silently. I think enough people in Belarus know what battle of Orsa was
The FSB get another man to run the show, nothing changes in essence. The optics may change (probably less memes) but that's about it. FSB is the real government.
Leo Reyes
Putin will be replaced by someone with a full head of hair.
Jacob Nelson
>Who takes over? Either commies, or Romanovs or Putin chooses his own successor before he is gone so yeah, chance of civil war is also high >Do certain organizations, countries, nations or other social/political/ethnic groups decide to make a move against Russia and/or its interests (say Chechens or 'international community')? Chechens are loyal to Putin but yeah we could expect some shit after he is gone >>Would this hypothetical leader manage to deal with the pressure that is bound to happen, and would he/she keep moving Russia in the same direction Putin did? hard to say, some say Putin is "too liberal" for Russian politics >And most importantly, who are the most likely candidates to replace Putin? Heir apperant is currently Sergey Shoigu
Luis Ramirez
He's talking about the other communist minded figures in the government who will vy for more political power after Putin steps down.
Jason Kelly
Probably replaced by an evenly competent protege.
Dominic Butler
>authoritariansim = communism American education.
Evan Turner
I think he should leave when Russia has the infrastructure to survive without him. Otherwise it isn't easy controlling a huge country with multiple ethnicity's and a low population. I say give it 10-15 years.
