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.
