The really worrying thing is that this whole sentiment seems not just to be a feat of Putin himself but it seems to be a rather widespread sentiment. I.e. even in case Putin's term should come to an end sooner or later the question remains: How much room will a successor have to deviate from this established party line?
One thing stood out to me that stuck in my mind was in one of the films on line, it was showing the masses of protesters getting arrested in Russia while protesting against the war.
A commentator rightly noted that they were all young, and that no matter how much Putin tries to reshape Russia into his Utopia, those young Russians fighting against the war are the future of the Country and will determine its path, Putin and his cronies are the past.
