If Putin and some cronies want to rebuild the Soviet Union.....and we know how the people when exposed to Western style freedom and prosperity react....how does that old hardcore communist core of the Russian Government react?
We saw an example when the Berlin Wall went up and they killed many trying to escape.
What do the Russian People want these days....more empty shelves due to Communist Party failures or Western style lifestyle items and some freedom?
How does Putin handle that now with the complications of a failed War in Ukraine and the resultant Sanctions?
Juggling those two Balls is hard enough but what if there is some real move by the Russian People or his Military and Security Service to challenge his Rule?
What then?
