Who Will Succeed Putin?

Russia is the best example of an authoritarian regime

[Pavel + 384]

They are brave. And not just for standing up to the cold. They stood up against to a brutal dictator.

[franco + 96]

Putin needs to go now, they deserve better than dictator Putin!

[Rodent + 1,424]

NOBODY CAN FOLLOW PUTIN

[franco + 96]

 Putin will one day grow old and I’m sure he will be disgraced and jailed.

[Pavel + 384]

What Russia calls an election is a joke and the Russian people deserve so much better. Russian people who march against the Putin run government should be recognized for their courage...

[damirUSBiH + 327]

All their protests will be met with violence, arrests and on the end with murder.  Putin always wins.

[Petar + 76]

Russians are a strong people - they need to smarten up and permanently adopt democracy and get rid of Putin and a handful of men robbing the country last 20 years.

Good luck to anyone who tries to outdo the guy with the horse. 

[Pavel + 384]

Protesters in Russia send message to Putin and they are supporting for Alexei Navalny who's not anti Russia. He's anti Putin and his failures and anti corruption. 

[franco + 96]

I just read statement one of young protesters: I'm prepared to be shot!

The question is…how big is the hive and how fast is it growing? If Putin decide to kill citizens in the streets, he will put himself on a knife’s edge.  No predictions after that.

[Pavel + 384]

Although the world doesn't want a repeat of Tianeman square, I do not think that Putin is above such brutality. However, the Russian have no choice but to demonstrate in numbers that simply overwhelm Putin's supporters. However, the protests were silenced

[damirUSBiH + 327]

Freedom is an idea that will always win! It may take generations, blood sweat and tears, ups and downs, but the idea of freedom never dies!

[franco + 96]

The good news about dictators is that, being human, the end of their reign and brutality shall come regardless.  And their departure from this world is often much less glamorous than their exploits in this life enjoyed at the expense of the oppressed. (Ceausescu, Milosevic, Saddam Hussein...)

[Pavel + 384]

The scariest part is that with all these obvious and horrible things Putin does to Russian people, it's too small percentage of who actually ready to protest and to speak up. That is the worst part.

[Petar + 76]

.....and, Putin is still riding

[damirUSBiH + 327]

But the saddest for the youth of Russia and democracy

[Pavel + 384]

Russian citizens need to rise up and overthrow Putin. He controls their money, tv, internet, their voice, and their votes. It's time for Putin and his oligarchs to go from political scene.

Russian celebrity Ksenia Sobchak just apologized for Russia's meddling in 2016 elections ... but is she real or just a Kremlin stooge allowed to run for show?

Here's a good look at all of those going up against Putin (mostly a list of jokes). Can't believe this nutter Zhirinovsky is still in the game. That's all we need.

makes Putin look like a moderate, hehe

Garry Kasparov, one of the best chess players of all time has wrote: " As I've often said about the biggest difference between chess and politics: in chess there are fixed rules and uncertain results, and in Putin's Russia the exact opposite is true!"

[Petar + 76]

That is the most elegantly perceptive comparison I’ve seen in a while. GK - champion for all time.

[franco + 96]

Sounds like a Casino game there - lots of illusions to distract while the house always wins.
