The Legacy of Putin's Rule
Putin's legacy will likely be that of a disastrous and tragic transitional figure, who tried to place himself among the great Russian state building heroes. He will be seen as a leader who bankrupted and weakened Russia in pursuit of becoming a strong great power. His regime will be remembered for its moral pragmatism and rampant corruption. However, his successors, driven by self-interest and the need to secure their wealth, may bring about a shift towards the rule of law and a desire to reintegrate Russia into the global system.
