The Impossibility of Replacing Putin

It's pretty unclear right now, and so I think we may have to wait for another week or two to really know what's going on. It seems though, Progosian had more ambitious goals than what I initially suspected. Putin has been majorly embarrassed, perhaps weakened by this mutiny. But the big winner to me seems like Shoyugu. This is the ultimate survivor,. but now it's going to be next impossible to replace him.
