While I'd love nothing more than to see Putin Gaddafi'd, Caesar'd, etc. And I'd throw a party when it happens, they'd still be Shoigu, Gerasimov, Medvedev, etc. Personally, I don't see Russian changing in my lifetime, the entire leadership is rotten, the entire government is rotten, for change to occur in Russia it would require a full scale revolution from the Russian public and that isn't happening.
More likely scenario is if Russian is defeated they'll just scurry back to Moscow crying about the big meany in the West and "promising" revenge after they rebuild their forces, Putin dying won't change a thing (but it would be nice), the only way forward is for Ukraine to completely defeat Russia on the battlefield in Ukraine and push every last Russian soldier back beyond the borders.
Even if that happens, I would expect Russia to still be lobbing missiles across the border at Ukraine.
