Population will fall to about 132 million in the next two decades

Even if Putin's successor adopts real democracy, it will take generations to change the national psyche that thinks they need a strong leader. As much as the west hates Putin, he does have real support among the people. At least as long as he remains strong.

Just wait a while. When they get the Big Beautiful Bill through and its effects kick in full force the bottom will drop out. Federal debt will skyrocket and servicing it will become exorbitantly more expensive. It is already getting expensive with all the credit agencies downgrading the US. They will have to print more money to survive. Interest rates will skyrocket.
