Will there be war for power? How likely is regional separatism? I am not concerned cos my country is in NATO and EU but it is interesting what politics enthusiasts and russians think.

At this point I just assume Russia has reverted to its USSR days where it largely just had one leader for long stretches a new one would step in (Khrushchev->Brezhnev->Gorbachev for instance).

Of course, I haven't personally noticed anyone with the kind of personal magnetism and credentials in Russia that Putin has. Putin just seems like he was designed by nature to Dictate.

Elections?

Trump moves to Russia and becomes President.

They're gonna build a wall on Crimea, and the Ukraine will pay for it.

I think someone else who is close to Putin will take his place. Don't expect proper elections.

Then they unfreeze his clone or implant his mind into another body. There is only Putin.

Yes, "elections".

Russia will cease to exist when putin leaves.

Someone will replace him.
